To meet the demanding 3U requirements (Ultra-high speed, Ultra-large capacity, Ultra-long-haul) in future optical networks, fibers with reduced attenuation or expanded effective area are critical. GL FIBER’s FarBand® Ultra delivers both advantages in a single fiber, combining industry-leading low attenuation with an optimized large effective area for superior performance.

Standards

GL FIBER® Ultra fibre complies with or exceeds the ITU-T G.654.B/E recommendation and IEC 60793-2-50 B1.2 specification.

Advantages

OSNR is a critical factor in the performance of optical networks. G.654.E fiber has very low macro-bending loss and a large effective area, which improves OSNR by reducing transmission loss and allowing for higher launch power. A 1 dB improvement in OSNR can increase transmission distance by 25%, a 2 dB improvement by 60%, and a 3 dB improvement by up to 100%. Fig. 3 compares the performance of G.654.E fiber with other types.
  • Reduced Nonlinear Effects: A larger effective area minimizes nonlinear distortions, allowing higher signal power input for improved transmission performance.
  • Support for Higher Speeds & Wavelengths: Enables ultra-long-haul transmission with increased data capacity through multi-wavelength operation.
  • Lower Attenuation: Enhanced signal integrity over extended distances due to reduced signal loss.
  • Cost Efficiency: Fewer repeater units required, lowering both capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) expenditures.
  • Superior Bend Resistance: Reduced bending loss ensures reliable performance in complex cable layouts and tight installation environments.

Note *1: “90% of total” will be only applied to whole length of a purchase order with the total quantity of 4,000 km or more.
Note *2: Since PMD value may change when fiber is cabled, actual PMD values in a cable shall be confirmed by cable manufacturer. Under appropriate cable design, PureAdvance-125 specification supports network design requirements for a 0.20 ps/r-km of maximum cable PMD link design value recommended by ITU-T G.654.E.
