AllWave FLEX ZWP Ocean Fiber maintains very low bending loss while ensuring long-term fiber strength and reliability. It can be coiled into a 20 mm diameter loop with a <0.5 dB incurred loss at 1625 nm and <0.2 dB incurred loss at 1550 nm – five times better bending performance than conventional single-mode and leading low water peak (LWP) fibers.
The fiber enables more compact designs and protects the network against excessive loss resulting from inadvertent fiber bends. It is less susceptible to physical disturbances from cable flexing, pulling, and crushing. The optimized bend characteristics of AllWave FLEX ZWP Ocean Fiber improve cable performance in demanding high-stress and lowtemperature environments by providing double the microbend protection of conventional single-mode fiber.
