TeraWave Single-Mode Optical Fiber features a 125 µm² effective area, very good cabling properties, and low loss to help 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 and splicing performance that is similar to conventional single-mode terrestrial fiber. These improvements allow system designers to increase distances between amplification and regeneration sites to help reduce overall system costs. TeraWave Single-Mode Optical Fiber supports longer un-regenerated reach than conventional G.652.D fiber for any coherent modulation format and using the same transmission equipment. The higher launch power limit of TeraWave Single-Mode Optical Fiber can also be leveraged to increase hut spacing without sacrificing signal quality.
TeraWave Single-Mode Optical Fiber is Fiber for the Long Haul network – for cost effective long haul applications today, and optimized to support the long term roadmap of ever increasing data rates to 400 Gb/s and beyond. TeraWave Single-Mode Optical Fiber is manufactured using Lightera’ patented ZWP process with a composition of high purity synthetic silica throughout both the core and cladding.

TeraWave Single-Mode Optical Fiber provides outstanding cable performance and design freedom for terrestrial long haul systems. The product provides lower system cost opportunities for coherent transmission by enabling reduced signal regeneration and/or longer spans between amplifiers.
TeraWave® Single-Mode Optical Fiber provides an effective areas that are 49% larger than G.652.D fibers combined with an average attenuation that is lower than most G.652 fibers. These properties are designed to support coherent transmission systems operating at 100 Gb/s and beyond in the C and L band.
TeraWave Fibers fall into the ITU-T G.654.E Category specifically developed for coherent terrestrial systems operating at 100G and beyond.
