Question

Which fibres have 8-10 μm core?

Answer

Single-mode fibres with core diameters ranging from 8 to 10 microns, such as those specified as 9/125 µm or 8/125 µm, are designed to optimize performance for long-distance and high-speed communication. The core size is selected to balance factors such as mode field diameter, wavelength optimization, performance characteristics, and manufacturing standards. This ensures that the fibres provide low attenuation, minimal dispersion, and reliable signal transmission for various applications in telecommunications and data networks.
