A core in fiber optics is a single strand of fiber. It forms one half-duplex channel, where one transmitter can send data to one receiver. In order to form a full-duplex channel, two cores or strands are required. Many fiber optic cables contain many cores organized in many bundles.

What is MSAN in reference to fiber optics?
MSAN is Multi-Service Access Node
Who is the father fiber optics?
It wasn't a one man effort, inventing fiber optics. Works were inspired by John Tyndall who first discovered light can travel an irregular path through glass. Alexander Graham Bell later contributed. Heinrich Lamm in 1930 put the first fiber optic cable together stranding cable together and sending a signal across the wire. There were many other people who helped improve it over the year. Al Gore is not the father of Fiber Optic cables, in case you were wondering.
What is meant by atenuation in fiber optics?
Attenuation in fiber means 'loss of optical power' suffered by the optical signal in fiber itself.
Is it possible to use optic fiber as a core in the transformer?
No. Transformers operate on the principle of conversion of electric current to and from magnetism. Optic fiber is not ferromagnetic, nor is it conductive.
Compare satellite and fiber optics communication?
Fiber optics is quicker and has higher bandwidth but for long distances requires more infrastructure (but it is on the planet so is more easily repaired).Satellite communications is slower with lower bandwidth and noticeable delays, the long range capability is greater but parts of the infrastructure (the satellites) are very expensive to replace and repair.
Why refractive index of core is lower than cladding in optlical fiber?
because in the fiber optics the transmission of the light waves are through core and cladding is to cover the core
How does fiber optics transmit data?
Fibre Optics transmit data via refraction. It uses the concepts of Core and cladding.
