Best Answer

Cladding in optical fibre is done for the total internal reflection of the waves propagating inside the fibre. The core of the fibre is made of material with less refractive index value than the material covering the core. When wave falls on the high refractive index material passing through the core it is reflected back.

To prevent the light from crossing over in the incidence that another core touches the original core, thus ensuring it is sent to the correct destination.
