: KAS-SMFOCWA-E1

This specification covers the design requirements and performance standard for the supply of optical fiber cable.

1.1

Cable Description

Loose tube cable is a design that has high tensile strength and flexibility in a compact cable size. Loose tube cable provides excellent optical transmission and physical performance.

1.2

Quality

Kyung An ensure a continuing level of quality in our cable products through several quality control programs including ISO 9001.

1.3

Reliability

Kyung An ensure product reliability through rigorous qualification testing of each product family. Both initial and periodic qualification testing are performed to assure the cable's performance and durability in the field environments.

1.4 CODE AND STANDARDS

IEC 60793, 60794. ITU-T G 650, G 652D,

OPTICAL FIBER

2.1

Single Mode Fiber

TAIHAN offers single mode fiber manufactured by the vapour axial deposition (VAD) process to produce the highest quality glass with excellent geometry, high strength characteristics, and attenuation that approaches theoretical minimum.

The single mode fiber is fully compatible with other commercially available single mode fibers and has the zero dispersion wavelength around 1310nm. The main operating wavelength region of the fiber is around 1310nm and 1550nm.

2.2

General Design

Its optical properties are achieved through a germanium doped silica based core with a pure silica cladding. An acrylate protective coating is applied over glass cladding to provide the necessary maximum fiber lifetime.
