    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_(optical_fiber)

    Buffer or jacket 900 μm dia. Light propagating in a multi-mode fiber. The core of a conventional optical fiber is the part of the fiber that guides the light. It is a cylinder of glass or plastic that runs along the fiber's length. [1] The core is surrounded by a medium with a lower index of refraction, typically a cladding of a different ...

    Fiber-optic cables are made of optically pure glass and are as thin as a human’s hair. The three main components of a fiber-optic cable are: core – the center made of high purity glass; cladding – the outer material surrounding the core that prevents light from leaking; buffer coating – the protective plastic coating
