complete components found in optical fiber

Core
The core is the part called the glass fiber in the optical cable. This section has a diameter between 2 μm - 50 μm. And keep in mind, that the greater the core diameter of the optical fiber, the better the quality of the optical fiber itself.

Jacket or Cladding
Is a component that protects the core parts of water as well as things that might potentially interfere with telecommunications transmission. Usually the diameter of this jacket ranges from 5 μm - 250 μm. Besides functioning as a core protector, this component also functions to emit external light to the core.

Coat
The coat or usually also called this coating is not made of glass, but rather made of plastic. And this component also serves to protect the cable from interference conditions, such as air humidity so that the cable is not easily damaged. Usually, the coat is given a different color, of course, to make it easier to arrange the core sequence.

Strength Member and Outer Jacket
While the latter component is the main protector. In a sense, wrapping from the core, coat, and jacket. Of course its function is to protect the fiber cable from damage.
