Welcome to the OFS Single-mode Optical Fiber Selection Guide for terrestrial applications including transcontinental, regional, metropolitan, home/business access, and in-building fiber optic systems. This document is a quick reference guide for general understanding OFS single-mode fiber types and applications. This guide describes several families of OFS fiber and provides recommendations for single-mode fibers used in Outside Plant (OSP) as well as Indoor (Premises, Enterprise) applications. Selecting the right fiber for your application can help lower system costs. Characteristics such as lower loss, larger effective area, optimized dispersion, and tight bend performance can provide economic benefits compared to using a standard G.652D single-mode fiber. Please contact OFS for more thorough explanations of the various fiber value propositions to assist with the selection process.
