TrueWave XL Ocean Optical Fiber is a high-strength, low-loss fiber, designed specifically to operate in the C-Band transmission window. The large effective area allows for higher amplifier launch power while maintaining non-zero chromatic dispersion, which minimizes four-wave mixing.
These two properties are important to facilitate dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) for very high capacity systems. Large core TrueWave XL Fibers, when used in combination with the reduced slope of TrueWave SRS Fiber and the positive dispersion of AllWave® Single-Mode Ocean Fibers, enable network providers to dramatically increase the capacity and transmission speed of transoceanic networks.

Lightera has the capability to color and splice ocean fibers to meet stringent cable requirements. Fibers are selected to meet customer specifications for number of fibers, colors, lengths, and transmission properties. They are then assembled into sets. Final measurements guarantee customer specified performance for all fibers in the set.
