1550nm bend insensitive PANDA (R7.5mm)

FTTH (Fiber to the Home) is the hottest topic in Today's telecommunication industry. For compact storage in tight space of a building, Fujikura has developed FutureGuide®-SR15E, allowing smaller fiber bending radius compared to the standard G652 fiber without reducing the signal. FutureGuide®-SR15E is suitable for aerial drop cable, indoor cable, patch cord or any FTTx application cable.

Optical fiber networks in urban areas demand more effective utilization of available space by installing high density and more fiber-count cables underground. Especially, such demand is increasing in access network. Employing our innovative fiber coating technology in FutureGuide®-SR15E we launch a new ITU-T G.657.A1 fiber with 200μm coating diameter named FutureGuide®-SR15E-200. The fiber has drastically reduced coating diameter, while keeping microbend characteristics equivalent to conventional fibers. The 200μm coating diameter with tolerable microbend performance allows around 40% reduction of cable cross-section area. This new fiber strongly contributes to not only more effective utilization of available space but also saves costs of manufacture, transportation and installation of cables.

Fujikura PANDA fibers have a superior optical property in polarization-maintaining because of the symmetrical accuracy in cross section and the uniform constitution of stress applying parts. Based on Fujikura's fiber technology, PANDA fibers have a universal quality with not only low polarization-crosstalk and low attenuation but also the broad suitability for fusion-splice or optical connector.

As the number of channels increases with DWDM, the higher intensity of light in a fiber induces various non-linear effect of light, causing signal distortion in a long span. Fujikura have developed FutureGuide®-LA, which is designed for inhibiting non-linear effect with non-zero dispersion characteristic at 1530-1565nm region and with large effective area, offering for long distance DWDM transmission in C and L bands.
