Fiber Cable Size
The size of a fiber optic cable is referred to by the outer diameter of its core, cladding and coating. Example: 50/125/250 indicates a fiber with a core of 50 microns, cladding of 125 microms, and a coating of 250 microns.

Fiber Connectors
There are two types of connectors used on fiber optic cable assemblies:


Physical Contact Connectors
Non-Physical Contact Connectors

Physical Contact Connectors are, for the most part, being replaced by Non-Physical Contact Connectors because of differences in reliability and low loss characteristics. The highest level of reliability is provided by the FC, SC, and FDDI/MIC connectors.
