Greater Channel Capacity, Increased Transmission Speed

Overview

OFS' TrueWave® Submarine Reduced Slope (SRS) Fiber is specifically designed for maximum performance in undersea networks. TrueWave® SRS Fiber is the first reduced dispersion slope fiber of its kind in the industry, enabling network providers to dramatically increase the channel capacity and transmission speed of submarine networks. More channels at higher speeds over longer distances are possible with TrueWave® SRS Fiber because its reduced dispersion slope permits more uniform dispersion compensation across the entire EDFA spectrum.

Product Description

TrueWave® SRS Fiber is designed for use in submarine cables engineered specifically for regional ocean repeatered systems. Applications without repeaters, such as coastal festoons and deep-water crossings, can also take advantage of the fiber's high bandwidth capacity. For longer regional and trans-oceanic applications, TrueWave® SRS Fiber can be combined in spans with the large effective area TrueWave® XL Fibers and the positive dispersion of AllWave® Single-mode Ocean Fibers for optimal system performance.

Features/Benefits:
  • Low dispersion slope increases system bandwidth by enabling more channels with higher transmission speeds over longer distances
  • Low loss, non-zero, chromatic dispersion suppresses four wave mixing
  • Efficient operating window increases distances and achieves high speeds while optimizing amplifier performance
  • Proof tested to 200 kpsi to help ensure long term reliability under extreme conditions
  • D-Lux® Coating helps ensure world class environmental performance and long-term reliability
  • Engineered sets provide the cable manufacturer maximum efficiency
