Compliant to the latest ITU-T G.652 A – D requirements, AllWave ZWP Fiber offers dramatically improved performance in almost every characteristic over conventional single-mode fiber, including increased available spectrum, low optical loss, superior macrobend performance and ultra-low polarization mode dispersion (PMD). By using the industry’s tightest geometric controls and tight mode field control during manufacture, AllWave ZWP Fiber enables consistently low loss splices and improved connectorization performance.
Combined with complete backward compatibility with the embedded G.652 single-mode fiber base, these features provide ultimate network design flexibility and enable cost-effective solutions to help maximize return on investment.

AllWave ZWP Fiber provides outstanding performance and design freedom for fiber management systems in:
Award-winning AllWave Zero Water Peak (ZWP) Single-Mode Fiber provides low optical loss across the entire wavelength spectrum from 1260 nm to 1625 nm. A patented manufacturing process permanently removes the water peak defect for a fiber that offers the lowest loss of all commercial low water peak (LWP) fibers in the industry.
