OFS Release TeraWave ™ ULL ultra-low-loss optical fiber

10/9/15  |  Industry News

Innovative provider of world-class design and production company OFS fiber optic network equipment and solutions, recently expanded the overland distance applications, the introduction of ultra-low-loss optical fiber TeraWave ™ ULL than G.652.D 50% larger effective area fiber and 1550nm attenuation of less than 0.17dB/km. For the growth of T-bit transmission market, OFS's TeraWave ULL optical fiber is ultra-low-loss version designed to improve system performance TeraWave coherent long-distance optical fiber. TeraWave fiber has a longer transmission distance and accommodate more wavelengths than the ITU-T G.652.D fiber, reducing the need for expensive signal relay.

OFS Pierre Marty, vice president sales and marketing, said: "OFS on specially designed submarine and long-haul applications development and commercialization of optical fiber has a long tradition Based on these experiences, OFS and now provides a longer optical distance to customers through TeraWave ULL fiber. more than half of the best long distance fiber G.652.D. This means fewer relay stations to help customers save money in the construction of T bits of the network. "

OFS's G.654 land line since April 2014 TeraWave from low-loss single-mode fiber (1550nm less than 0.19dB/km) started to improve the system power budget. With the launch of TeraWave ULL optical fiber, to further reduce the loss at 1550nm 0.17dB/km.

TeraWave and TeraWave ULL fiber provides the optimal combination of 125 square micron active area, excellent performance cabling, lower than the ITU-T G.652.D singlemode fiber attenuation. These advantages can improve the coherence transfer, including in the 100Gb/s on the higher spectrum efficiency and distance relay in 400Gb/s on improvement.
