The 2026 Optical Fiber Reference Guide is a helpful resource that provides quick access to the data sheets of many types of popular single-mode and multimode optical fibers deployed globally in high-speed communications networks. Featuring major suppliers Corning, Lightera, Prysmian, and Sumitomo, you can quickly access each optical fiber's technical data sheet to support your engineering and learning goals.

2026OpticalFiberReferenceGuide

The Optical Fiber Reference Guide includes:

  • A comprehensive list of Single-mode & Multimode optical fibers

  • Fiber types/brands, organized by industry standard (G.652.D, G.657.A1, OM3, etc.) from leading global manufacturers:
    • Corning
    • Lightera 
    • Prysmian
    • Sumitomo

  • A direct link to the manufacturer's current product datasheet for each fiber listed

Note: M2 updates this guide periodically, but as new fibers are continuously being developed and made available in the market, there may be some that have not yet been included since the last publication. Additionally, more fiber manufacturers and additional types of optical fibers may be added in the future.
