Attributed to its large effective area and lower attenuation performance, FarBand® fibre is the optimum choice that supports various applications such as Ethernet, Internet Protocol (IP), Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). FarBand® fibre enables high input power and minishes transmitted power distribution density because of its enlarged effective area, suppressing nonlinear effect, such as Brillouin scattering, self-phase modulation and cross phase modulation, thus it satisfys multi-channel DWDM system. Meanwhile FarBand® fibre provides low signal attenuation, which satisfys the optical fibre attenution requirement in long haul transmission, and provides more system redundancy.
FarBand® fibre complies with or even exceeds the ITU-T G.654.B/E recommendation and IEC 60793-2-50 B1.2 Optical Fibre Specification. YOFC tightens many parameters of fibre products.
• Designed for 40G/100G/ 100G beyond large capacity, long haul Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system operation over C band (1530-1565nm) and L band (1565-1625nm)
• Large effective area reduces nonlinear effect in the transmission process, ensuring good system performance
• Lower attenuation level, which meets the demand of extended long distance transmission
• Lower bending induced loss at 1550nm and more sensitive 1625 nm window.
