OFS TeraWave SCUBA optical fiber enables 100-Gbps submarine networks
OFS used last week's OFC 2016 in Anaheim, CA, to launch TeraWave SCUBA Optical Fiber, a new fiber designed to support 100-Gbps optical transmission in submarine networks. The fiber offers what the company asserts is the largest effective area available, as well as "excellent" cabling performance in the C- and L-Bands and low attenuation.
