Description:
GL FIBER® Plus bending insensitive single-mode fibre combines two attractive features: excellent low macro-bending sensitivity and low water-peak level. It is comprehensively optimized for use in O-E-S-C-L band (1260 -1625 nm). The GL FIBER® Plus's bending insensitive feature not only guarantees L-band applications but also allows for easy installation without excessive care when storing the fibre especially for FTTH networks application. Bending radii in fibre guidance ports can be reduced as well as minimum bend radii in wall and corner mountings.
Application:
• All types of fibre cables with different structures
• High performance optical network operating in O-E-S-C-L band
• High speed optical routes for Fibre-to-the-Home networks
• Cables with extreme low bending requirements
• Small-sized fibre cable and optical component
Feature Characteristics:
1. Extremely high bending loss resistance in the 7.5 to 15 mm bending radius range
2. Full compatibility with all G.652 fibres for any applications
3. Low attenuation satisfying the operation demand in O-E-S-C-L band
4. Low PMD satisfying high bit-rate and long distance transmission requirements
5. Low bending loss for highly demanding cable designs including ribbons
6. Accurate geometrical parameters that insure low splicing loss and high splicing efficiency
7. High nd-value satisfying long operational lifetime in minimum bend radius
