Fiber Specification and Selection

We provide a wide range of optical-fiber options so that our customers have the flexibility to choose a cable plant to best fit their needs. Only optical fiber that meets or exceeds industry standards is used to ensure quality products with best-in-class performance.

Fiber options continue to expand as technology demands require improved performance. The information below summarizesthe performance of NextGen™ Brand fiber types. Detailed fiber selection tables are also listed on the following page.

62.5/125 Multimode

62.5/125 multimode has been the TIA/EIA 568B.3 standard in North America and in many parts of the world for years. Provenreliability and strong optical performance has kept this as the fiber of choice for data backbones and recently, Fiber-To-The-Desk (FTTD).

Super/FDDI - This fiber meets the bandwidth requirement and exceeds the attenuation specification for TIA/EIA 568B.3.

G300 - The G300 fiber has an optimized core profile that allows it to efficiently transmit a Gigabit Ethernet (per IEEE802.3z) laser signal 300 meters at 850nm and 550 meters at 1300nm. In addition, this fiber maintains backward com-patiblity with TIA/EIA 568B.3 and ISO 11801. It is perfect for any network backbone that reaches to 300 meters andfor centralized cabling topographies.

G500 - The G500 is a premium 62.5/125 multimode fiber optimized for performance in laser-based systems such as Gigabit Ethernet. G500 can transmit a Gigabit Ethernet (per IEEE 802.3z) laser signal a distance of 500 meters at 850nmand 1000 meters at 1300nm. This fiber provides a great solution as backbone distances increase and the bandwidthpotential of 1 Gb/s systems is utilized. This fiber also meets the requirement of TIA/EIA 568B.3 and ISO 11801.

50/125 Multimode

50/125 multimode has been a standard in ISO 11801 and is used primarily in Europe and Asia. The popularity of 50/125 around theworld and its superior bandwidth performance in the 850nm window are driving its inclusion into TIA/EIA 568B.3 and acceptance inNorth America. 50/125 multimode is fully compatible with 62.5/125 fiber and components. Compared to 62.5/125 fiber, 50/125 provides higher bandwidth at a lower cost.

G600 - G600 was designed to meet or exceed all requirements of TIA/EIA 568B.3 and ISO 11801. Additionally, G600can extend the signal transmission distance of a Gigabit Ethernet (per IEEE 802.3Z) laser signal to 600 meters at both850nm and 1300nm.

G10X - G10X optical fiber is engineered for laser-based protocols IEEE 802.3ae such as Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet while maintaining compatibility with Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and ATM protocols.

Singlemode

Singlemode fiber’s tremendous bandwidth and low attenuation has made it the fiber of choice for service carriers. As opto-electronicscome down in price, singlemode is becoming more common in data communication networks. We offer non-dispersion shifted singlemode fiber, TIA/EIA 492AAAA Class IVa, as a standard offering. Our singlemode fiber complies with the ITU G-652 standard.

Premium - The premium grade of fiber has a maximum fiber attenuation of 0.4/0.3 dB/km at 1310/1550nm for each fiber in a loose tubecable. This is most common for outside plant applications where transmission distances and loss budgets are critical.

Super - This grade is most effective with premises and indoor/outdoor cables where the transmission distances are short (< 5km). Thesuper grade of singlemode fiber has an attenuation of 1.0/1.0 dB/km at 1310/1550nm for tight buffer cables.

Other grades of 62.5/125, 50/125, Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted (NZDS) singlemode fibers and enhanced singlemode fibers are availableto suit design preferences and industry standards. These fibers are described in the tables on page 2.

NextGen™ Brand fiber opticcable is right for any premises application.

Applications: Premises cableswith 900µm tight bufferconstructions are built towithstand the continuoushandling and difficult routingtypical of building backbones.These fiber optic cablesemphasize flexibility, handlingand proper fiber terminationcharacteristics. This providesreliable and simple installationsevery time. These cables areused for intrabuilding vertical(backbone) and horizontal runs.

Range of Products: Includesthe manufacture of riser,plenum and Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) cables. Thisincludes distribution designs aswell as breakout style cables.Fiber counts range up to 144 fibers.

Features: Premises cableshave an industry-standard900µm tight buffer fortermination to connectors. Thetight buffer diameter is tightlycontrolled to provide reliable,first-time connections.Breakout cables utilize 2.4mmbreakout dimensions forrugged environments andcompatibility with connectors.All fibers are color-coded andsubgrouped (if necessary) foreasy identification for handling.

As with all NextGen Brand fiberoptic cables, breakout kits are available for premisescables to reinforce and assistin preparing the fibers for termination.

Fiber Optic

The concept, production andapplication of indoor/outdoor fiberoptic cables has been a big partof the NextGen™ Brand productline for more than a decade. As aleader in easy-to-use, field-friendlyfiber optic cables, theindoor/outdoor product line hasbeen especially well-known tousers who appreciate the featuresit provides.

Applications: Whether primarilyfor indoor or outdoor use, wehave an impressive choice ofproducts that have the abilityto route from either a plenumor riser building space to anoutdoor run. This eliminatesthe costly and space-consuming transition point atthe building entrance andimproves the system lossbudget. These cables are mostefficient when used to directlyconnect equipment rooms (onany floor) in different buildingsor to connect a manholelocation to an equipment room.

Range of Products:Indoor/outdoor fiber opticcables include loose tube (gel-filled) and tight buffer (900µm)designs. These are available ina variety of configurations andjacket types to cover riser andplenum requirements for indoorcable and the ability to be runin duct, direct buried oraerial/lashed in the outsideplant. The following catalogpages provide information onproper interbuilding andintrabuilding applications.

Features: These productsreduce the system cost byeliminating splice points,simplifying cable handling andgaining flexibility with thechoice of building entrances.All cables meet appropriateNEC requirements and arelisted with ETL or UL. Tightbuffer designs allow directtermination of fibers withindustry-standard connectorsand techniques. Loose tubedesigns provide more fiberprotection in harsh outdoorenvironments and are readily

Ribbon Distribution Riser andPlenum Cable 38

Interconnect cables are used ina variety of Fiber-To-The-Desk(FTTD) and network connectionschemes. These cables areconstructed to easily terminatewith industry-standardconnectors such as the SCand ST. To serve the newmarket evolution into high-density cabling andterminations, we offer anextended cable product linethat is compatible with all ofthe new connection systems,such as MT-RJ, MTP, LC andother Small Form Factor (SFF)components.

Applications: Interconnectcables are generally one- ortwo-fiber cable constructionsfor use in horizontal runs(Fiber-To-The-Desk), aspatchcords in communicationclosets and for OEMassemblies. These cables areconstructed to easily terminatewith industry-standardconnectors such as the SCand the ST, as well as the newgeneration of Small FormFactor (SFF) connectordesigns.

Range of Products: Low fibercount (≤12) cables with riser(OFNR) or plenum (OFNP) listings comprise this family ofcables. Most designs are tightbuffered while some are available with fiber ribbons.These fiber ribbons allow fast termination to MTP and MT-RJconnectors or they may befusion spliced to other cables.

Features: The interconnectcables are constructed to havethe proper geometry to matewith industry-standard terminations. Generally, nobreakout or splitter kits arerequired. The cables are verysmall and flexible so that theymay be incorporated into high-density cable managementsystems. Some cables areavailable with Quik-Strip technology for easy removal ofthe 900µm layer.

Blolite™ Blown Fiber Technology–Revolutionizing Fiber Networks

Fiber Optic Blolite™

Blown Fiber TechnologyBlolite™ blown optical fiber technology provides unparalleled flexibility in network design—anticipating and facilitating future changes as the networkevolves.The Blolite system delivers the ultimate fiber solution for backbone andFiber-To-The-Desk (FTTD) applications.The best long-term choice for your busi-ness ... Blolite blown optical fiber technology will continue to provide significant andmeasurable time, cost and service benefits to the network throughout its life cycle.How Does It Work?Small, flexible, empty Microduct tubes are initially installed, and compressed air is then used to blowthe optical fiber through the Microducts. As a result of our material and design technology, our blownfiber system offers the opportunity to install fiber through difficult runs and further distances whereinstallation of traditional optical fiber would be challenging and expensive. This enhanced feature setsour system apart from others available in today’s market. Microduct eliminates potential damage tofibers during installation since empty Microducts are installed initially and fiber is blown in later.

Because the Blolite system is based upon simultaneously blowing individual fibers into eachMicroduct, designers have maximum flexibility regarding the number and type of fibers per Microduct.Color-coded fibers are typically supplied on master spools and cut to length during the blowingprocess. If necessary, routes can even be reconfigured on the fly during the installation process.

Blolite™ Fiber Optic

The Blolite™ System Advantage

“Pay as you grow” Deferred InvestmentFuture-proof your network by installing only the fiber you need today, reserving Microductcapacity for tomorrow’s requirements. Design tactically to meet present needs, but buildstrategically for the long term. Pay as you grow.

Extraordinary Design FlexibilityThe Blolite™ system can adapt to any network architecture or topology changes over the life ofyour network. Quickly and economically add new destinations, relocate routes, change fibertypes and counts, reconfigure LANs and add new services and technologies, as required. Newsections of Microduct can be spliced to existing Microduct with a simple push-fit connector.

Adaptable to Any EnvironmentBlolite technology is compatible with any network topology and nearly every local area networkinstallation environment. Moves, Adds and Changes (MACs) can be accomplished with minimalworkplace disruption as your network evolves and changes.

Installation EaseMicroduct tubing and simple push-fit connectors make building a network infrastructuresimple. Blolite eliminates potential damage from pulling and overstressing fiber opticcables, as well as resulting costs, delays or latent failures. Point-to-point links, easilyachieved with Blolite for situations in which conventional fiber optic cable would requiresplices, mean lower attenuation, higher performance and increased system integrity.

Capability for Quick RecoveryDisaster recovery from physical damage to the cabling infrastructure with the Blolite systemmeans days versus weeks, resulting in minimal downtime and labor costs. Only the damagedsection of Microduct is removed and replaced, then within minutes, new optical fiber is blown in,then terminated. Much faster and a far less costly disaster recovery is one of the many obviousbenefits of the Blolite blown fiber system.

Improved ReliabilityBecause Microduct is installed empty, there is no risk of fiber damage during installation. Opticalfibers are blown into place, rather than pulled, with zero tensile stress on the fiber during theinstallation process. Because point-to-point links are easily accommodated, fiber splice points canbe eliminated, lowering attenuation and increasing system performance and integrity.

Installation Cost SavingsOnly two people are needed to blow in the optical fiber. Fiber terminations are typically quickerthan with conventional cable since no time needs to be devoted to cable preparation.Additionally, termination and testing is simplified with no dark fiber to contend with.

Bend Radius: Radius of curvature that afiber can bend without breaking.

Breakout: Multifiber cable constructed inthe tight buffered design withindividually jacketed fibers. Design-ed for ease of connectorization andrugged applications for intra- orinterbuilding requirements.

Buffer: Coating used to protect opticalfiber from physical damage. Typesinclude tight buffer (indoor) or loosetube (outdoor).

Bundle: Several individual fiberscontained within a single jacket orbuffer tube. Also a group of bufferedfibers distinguished in some fashionfrom another group in the samecable core.

Cable Assembly: Optical fiber cable thathas connectors installed on one orboth ends.

Cable Bend Radius: The radius that afiber can be bent before riskingincreased attenuation or fiberbreaks.

Central Member: A material located inthe middle of a cable that providesextra strength and anti-bucklingproperties.

Chromatic Dispersion: Spreading of alight pulse caused by the differencein refractive indices at differentlengths.

Cladding: Dielectric material surroundingthe core of an optical fiber.

Coating: Material put on a fiber duringthe drawing process for mechanicalprotection.

Coupling Efficiency: Efficiency of opticalpower transfer between twocomponents.

Coupling Loss: Power loss sufferedwhen coupling light from one opticaldevice to another.

Critical Angle: Smallest angle at which ameridional ray may be totallyreflected within a fiber at the core-cladding interface.

Crosstalk: Phenomenon of unwantedlight transfer between fibers.

CSA: Abbreviation for CanadianStandards Association.

Decibel (dB): Standard unit used toexpress the magnitude of signal gainor loss.

Dielectric: Any non-metallic, non-conductive material.

Diffraction: Phenomenon that resultswhen light passes by an opaqueedge or through an opening,generating weaker secondarywavefronts. These secondarywavefronts interfere with the primarywavefronts, as well as with eachother, to form various patterns.

Digital: Data format that uses twophysical levels, ones and zeros, totransmit information.

Glossary

51

Dispersion: Spread of the signal delay inan optical waveguide. It consists ofvarious components: modaldispersion, material dispersion andwaveguide dispersion. As a result ofthe dispersion, an optical waveguideacts as a low-pass filter for thetransmitted signals.

Duplex: Referring to a type of datatransmission, either half or full. Halfduplex permits only one-waycommunication. Full duplex allowssimultaneous two-way transmission.
