This opens the door to the very demanding cable designs required for increased density and smaller footprint for easier installation even in urban congested rights-of-way or rural aerial installations, as well as component architectures not previously achievable. This feature also secures all transmission bands, including the upper L- and U-bands which present the highest exposure to micro-bending effects 7 . Finally, the mode field diameter and other optical characteristics of such bend-immune G.652.D fibres, as well as their splice compatibility with any equipment available, make them totally compatible with legacy G.652.D fibres for installation and commissioning. In summary, such fibres are 100% compliant with the most stringent G.652.D recommendations. They are fully backward-compatible and future proof – no compromise on main transmission parameters – and their record-high macro- and micro-bending performances yield a bend-insensitivity reduction of x100, for drastically improved security against tapping, compared to G.652.D single-mode optical fibre. All thanks to a trench-based glass design with lowered refractive index in the cladding area, preventing the optical field escaping even under tight bends. Such fibre can safely transmit optical signals and can cope with any of the higher bit rates, higher wavelength operations andWDM transmission demands (in all standardised bands) that next-generation FTTH systems will bring. 100% compliant with the most stringent G.652.D recommendations Fully backward- compatible and future proof 100% More than 100 million kilometres of BendBright TM XS fibre have been deployed in over 70 countries so far worldwide since its 2006 launch.
