OPTICAL FIBER CLASSIFICATIONS UNDER ISO 11801 & EN
The fibre core is made from an acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate, or PMMA), while the optic sheath is made from a fluoride compound that condenses the light signal near the core.
Optical fiber communication materials are classified according to international standards such as ITU-T G-series, ISO/IEC 11801, and EN 50173, based on fiber type, material composition, and performanc...
