OFS TeraWave ULL fiber offers larger effective area, lower loss
Optical fiber developer OFS has introduced TeraWave Ultra Low Loss (ULL) fiber, targeted at terrestrial long-haul applications. The fiber offers 50% greater effective area than G.652.D fiber and ≤ 0.17 dB/km loss at 1550 nm, making it particularly useful as carriers deploy coherent optical transmission technology, OFS says.
