Although the method of light transmission is the same‚ communication fiber optics are specifically designed for different applications. Fiber optic cables used for communication are made from bundles of very small-diameter fibers‚ typically the thickness of human hair. 3M’s light fiber is a highly efficient light-transmission system for visible light. It is a large-core‚ plastic optical fiber. Fiber core diameters are 7mm and 12mm.
