Outer diameter of single-mode 8-core optical fiber
Singlemode fiber has a core diameter of 8-10 microns, specified as "mode field diameter," the effective size of the core, and a cladding diameter of 125 microns. Specialty Fibers have been developed for applications that require unique fiber performance specifications. Imm (main cord) Material Stainless Steel Color Silvery White UL94 V-0 (*Burning stops within 10 seconds on a veritcal specimen, no drips of flaming particles. Core size determines performance: Single-mode (9 μm) is ideal for long distances; multimode (50 μm or 62. 7 µm Cladding diameter is the outer diameter of the glass portion of the optical fiber.
