How to improve single-mode optical fibre?

Attributes that make a

difference

• Seamless splicing

• Good Macrobend

performance

• Lower loss

Annual Demand of G.657 fibres continue to grow

Europe is adopting these fibres

faster than the rest of the

world!

• World wide 8% of all

deployed fibre is G.657

• Europe 13% of all deployed

fibre is G.657 (over 60%

greater)

Operators have found many reasons

to deploy G.657 fibres

Improved reliability

Smaller more aesthetically

pleasing connectivity

Increased fibre density

Simplified installations

Why is Europe leading the way with Bend

insensitive Single-mode fibre offers?

• Congested ducts and high count cables

• Micro Cables can benefit from improved macrobend performance

• Smaller and more aesthetically pleasing connectivity

• Full Spectrum means low water peak and preserving 1625nm attenuation

AllWave + fibre - the first choice for outside plant FTTx, Access and metro applications

– Reliability for full spectrum

– Seamless splicing – fewer calls from the field

– Improved macrobend performance (benefit higher transmission wavelengths)

AllWave One fibre - for longer links where low loss is also required

– Reliability for full spectrum

– Seamless splicing – fewer calls from the field

– Improved macrobend performance (benefit higher transmission wavelengths)

– Lower loss


Summary

• Rapid growth in G.657 fibres

• Europe has adopted G.657 fibres faster than the rest of the

world

• Value of G.657.A1 fibres is not only in the access network

but also Metro and long haul networks

• Next major growth will be G.657.A1 fibres with 9.2 MFD and

when required lower loss.
