Fiber Optic Cable Types Explained
Learn all about the differences between single mode and multimode cables, as well as the various fiber wavelengths and standard core sizes used in fiber optics.
Single Mode vs. Multimode Fiber Optic Cables
You can usually tell by the color of the cable jacket: single-mode fiber cables typically have a yellow jacket, while multimode cables are often orange, aqua, or lime green depending on the type.
How to Identify Single Mode vs Multimode Fiber
The two main types — Single Mode (SM) and Multimode (MM) — differ in construction, performance, and application. This guide explains how to identify them by appearance, labeling, and
How to tell the difference between single mode and multimode fiber
When in doubt, checking the cable specifications, looking at the color, and knowing the intended application can help you identify whether a fiber optic cable is single-mode or multimode.
