Home / How thick is a multimode optical fiber

Multimode fiber optic cable (or glass) is a common specification of optical fiber that offers a much wider core size or core diameter of 50-62. Core size determines performance: Single-mode (9 μm) is ideal for long distances; multimode (50 μm or 62. Cladding is standardized at 125 μm across all fiber types to ensure connector and splicing compatibility. This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) discusses the criteria for properly selecting the optimal multimode fiber (MMF) for enterprise applications.
