Cables using EZ-Bend Optical Fiber can be routed around corners and deployed using traditional fast and easy copper wire installation processes with negligible signal loss. Ideal for aggressive routing environment where space is at a premium, EZ-Bend Fiber offers reliable support for MDU and in-home wiring applications.
EZ-Bend Fiber features solid synthetic glass construction that enables uniform macrobending loss axially and in all bending planes. This results in easy splicing to G.652.D fibers with existing core and clad alignment splicers and standard termination using conventional optical connectors and polishing techniques.
EZ-Bend Fiber retains full spectrum performance due to Lightera’ patented fiber manufacturing process, which eliminates hydrogen-aging defects. Its ultra-low fiber Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) enables speed and distance upgrades.

EZ-Bend Fiber provides outstanding bend performance and design freedom for fiber management systems in:
EZ-Bend Single-Mode Optical Fiber offers outstanding bend performance to a 2.5 mm radius for the most challenging in-residence and MDU applications. The fiber, developed using Lightera’ groundbreaking EZ-Bend Optical Technology, provides at least three times’ lower loss at tight bends than comparable products. Compatible with the installed base of conventional G.652.D single-mode fibers, the fiber meets and exceeds ITU-T G.657.B3 recommendations.
