Optical Fiber Specification

ITU-T G.652.D
DS-GG-00023-1-EN-REV-A
 AOF Zero Water Peak non-dispersion single-mode optical fiber is applicable to transmission system operating
over the entire wavelength from 1260 nm to 1625 nm, which maintains low dispersion at traditional window
1310 nm and low attenuation at 1383 nm, thus making full use of E-band (1360 nm ~ 1460 nm).
It optimizes attenuation and dispersion across the entire wavelength from 1260 nm ~ 1625 nm, reduces
bending loss at the wavelength of 1625 nm, provides bandwidth resources for trunk, metropolitan area and
access network and meets bandwidth demand from various circles of business, such as voice, imaging and
data service. AOF Zero Water Peak non-dispersion single mode optical fiber complies with or even raises
superior to standards of ITU-T G.652.D and IEC60973-2-50-B1.3.
Due to advanced VAD technique of optical preform manufacturing AOF optical fiber maintains stable refractive
index profile, accurate geometrical performance and low attenuation.

Features

Completely overcomes the attenuation of water peak at 1383 nm and can thereby operate over the entire

wavelength from 1260 nm to 1625 nm

Outstanding optical performance supports high-speed transmission requirement of DWDM and CWDM

Compatible with existing 1310 nm equipment

Accurate geometrical parameters ensures low splicing loss and high splicing efficiency

Excellent PMD performance supports high-speed and long repeater spacing transmission system
