Description
Summary:This article describes how carefully designed and manufactured optical fibers with enhanced bending resistance can solve these problems while remaining fully compliant with the strict ITU G.652.D standard for seamless integration into carrier networks. Specific attributes include full spectrum availability, low polarization mode dispersion, excellent reliability, excellent geometry and great bend performance. Beyond access applications, this fiber provides the ideal ZWP jumper for 10 and 40 Gb/s DWDM and Raman amplified systems where tight bends can cause bit errors or reliability problems associated with burned fiber coatings.
