To keep on track with what kinds of fiber optic cables there are and what different modes the cables come in, we will explain here and will also discuss the main elements that are specific to the fiber optic cables. Before buying an optical fiber cable you must be aware of these elements as these cables are expensive with the high cost of installation.
The two main types of fiber optic cables are single mode (or mono-mode) fiber optic cable or multimode fiber optic cables. Let’s jump right into the different types of fiber optic cables.

Fiber Optic Cable Types
Single Mode Fiber (Mono-Mode)
Single Mode Fiber have a single strand of glass fiber, single-mode cables have a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns which has one mode of transmission, they have a narrow diameter which would transmit 1310 or 1550nm in one mode.
Carrying a higher bandwidth in comparison to a multi-mode cable even though they would need some sort of light source.
