The core of a fiber optic cable is the thin glass or plastic center through which light signals travel. It's the functional heart of the cable, typically made of ultra-pure silica (silicon dioxide), and its diameter can be as narrow as 9 microns, roughly one-tenth the width of a. This series of courses are based on the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) section on Fiber Optic cable systems.
