These values are general estimates, and the actual attenuation can vary depending on the fiber type, manufacturing process, and other factors. Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the walls of the fiber). Attenuation is a measure of the loss of signal strength or light power that occurs as light pulses propagate through a run of multimode or single-mode fiber. The standard TIA-598C recommends, for non-military applications, the use of a yellow jacket for single-mode fiber, and orange or aqua for multi-mode fiber, depending on type.

Fiber optic cables, from the outside at least, don't look drastically different from many other kinds of cabling, since their outermost layer tends to be a colored plastic or silicon tubing.
