Frequently Asked Questions

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.

The OFS product portfolio includes TeraWave Optical Fibers, TrueWave Optical Fibers, AllWave Optical Fibers, AllWave FLEX and EZ-Bend Optical Fibers.

AllWave FLEX and EZ-Bend Optical Fibers are ITU-T G.657 Bend insensitive single-mode fibers that have a fiber bend radius down to 10 mm, providing more flexibility in installation and use.

TeraWave Optical Fibers are ITU-T G.654 long haul fiber with optimized large effective area designed especially to support coherent systems, while TrueWave Optical Fibers are ITU-T G.655 and/ or G.656 Non-Zero Dispersion fibers (NZDF) that have reduced chromatic dispersion characteristics to simplify dispersion compensation.

It is a quick reference guide for general understanding OFS single-mode fiber types and applications for terrestrial applications including transcontinental, regional, metropolitan, home/business access, and in-building fiber optic systems.
