Features a larger core diameter between 50 to 62.5 micrometers, supporting multiple modes of light, but with more dispersion and shorter transmission distances. It is frequently employed for short-distance data communication and local area networks (LANs).

Has a small core diameter of around 8 to 10 micrometers, allowing only one mode of light to propagate, which reduces modal dispersion and allows for longer transmission distances. Commonly used in long-haul telecommunication networks and high speed internet services.

Constructed from plastic rather than glass, which makes it more flexible and resistant to bending. POF is mainly used for short-range communication applications like home networks, industrial networks, and car networks.

Contains multiple fiber cores within a single cable allowing for parallel transmission channels to increase overall capacity and bandwidth. This type is a potential solution for meeting the high capacity demands of future telecommunication systems.
