Diagram showing the structure of a fibre-optic cable on the left, with labeled layers including bundled optical fibers, strength element, copper pipe, steel strands, and protective sheath. On the right, three types of optical fibers-single-mode, multimode graded-index, and multimode stepped-index-are illustrated, each with diagrams of how light travels through their cores and cladding.
