The core is the innermost part of the fiber, usually made of ultra-pure glass or plastic, which carries light signals. Surrounding the core is the cladding, a layer with a slightly lower refractive index that confines light within the core through total internal reflection, enabling efficient signal transmission .
A buffer coating surrounds the cladding to protect the fiber from mechanical stress, microbending, and environmental damage. There are two main types:
To enhance durability, optical cables include strength members such as Kevlar strands or steel wires. These components absorb tensile forces and protect the fiber from stretching or crushing during installation and operation .
The outer jacket is the external protective layer, typically made of polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or other durable materials. It shields the internal components from environmental hazards, abrasion, and rodent damage .
In multi-fiber cables, multiple fibers are arranged in color-coded bundles within the buffer tubes. Each fiber maintains its own core, cladding, and buffer, while the overall cable may include additional strength members and a single outer jacket for protection .
