"Optimized for Terrestrial Long Haul"

Overview

TeraWave® ULL single-mode optical fiber is a 125 μm² large area, ultra low loss ITU-T G.654.B fiber designed for terrestrial optical networks. The fiber is optimized for long haul transmission in the C- and L-bands (1530 nm – 1625 nm) at 100 Gb/s, 400 Gb/s and beyond. It features a core with an effective area 50% greater than G.652.D single-mode fiber to reduce nonlinear effects that limit the reach of G.652.D fiber. As a result, TeraWave® ULL fiber supports greater distances between regeneration and amplification sites, helping to lower the overall cost of deploying coherent systems – now and in the future.

Product Description

TeraWave® ULL fiber features very good cabling properties, and an ultra low loss to provide superior optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) performance in optical links compared to low loss G.652.D fibers. The fiber takes the best aspects of highly engineered submarine fibers and combines them with cabling performance that is similar to conventional single-mode terrestrial fiber. These improvements allow system designers to increase distances between amplifi cation and regeneration sites to help reduce overall system costs..
