Guide Fiber diameter measurements
Measurements of the fiber outer diameter after manufacture (off-line) may be performed using a micrometer or dial gage. These devices can give accuracies of the order of ±0.5 µm.
Guide Recommendation ITU-T G.652 (08/2024)
This document outlines the specifications for a single-mode optical fiber and cable designed for use around the 1310 nm zero-dispersion wavelength, suitable for both the 1310 nm and 1550 nm regions,

Effective fiber testing utilizes advanced tools such as Optical Loss Test Sets (OLTS), Optical Time-Domain Reflectometers (OTDR), and Visual Fault Locators (VFL) to diagnose and correct issues,
Guide How to calculate the outer diameter of fiber optic cable?
The outer diameter of the optical fiber cable depends on the diameter of the outer sheath of the optical cable. Generally, it can be measured with a caliper or a line ruler.
