Basic Elements of Modes Cable
There are three basic elements of a fiber optic cable
Core: Starting with the core, it is the area light transmission that occurs in the fiber, being either glass or plastic. With a large core, more light will be transmitted within the cable.
Cladding: It is used to provide a reflection within the core of the cable, this will help the light waves transmit through the fiber.

Coating: Like any other coating, it is used to be multi-layers on the cables to help preserve the strength of the fiber, as well as absorb shock and extra fiber protections needed.
The coats come in various amounts from 250 microns to 900 microns.
Through reading this article I hope it helped you have a better understanding of what fiber optics are and knowing the modes the cables come in, whether it is being single or multi-mode and each property that it holds in their mode.
As well as with the various colors from yellow, orange and so that is used to differentiate each mode of the cables
