Manufacturing Zero Water Peak Single-Mode Fiber

OFS single-mode optical fiber helps end users meet the growing demand for voice, data, and video transmission at ever-faster speeds.
OFS single-mode optical fiber helps end users meet the growing demand for voice, data, and video transmission at ever-faster speeds.
A new generation of single-mode fibers with a smaller 200 micron coating dimension are now on the market. This paper, brought to you by OFS, shows how they enable novel compact cable designs that give telecom providers new options for their optical network.
OFS, a developer of fibre-optic cable and connectivity products, has expanded its range of totally dry optical cables with a new microcable product line.
OFS' totally dry MiDia Dry FX microcable is based on an entirely dry cable technology, which replaces the gel-based filling and flooding compounds traditionally used to prevent the spread of water in outside plant cables.
