Features

PureBand™ | G.652.D

Low Water Peak Single-Mode Optical Fibre
  • The standard single-mode fibre in compliance with ITU-T G.652.D, one of the industry-leading products
  • A proof-stress level of 1.2% (120 kpsi) enables customers to benefit from robust cabling with higher resistance to fibre breakage and long-term reliability: peace of mind from a market-leading reliability
  • Widely used for backbone, core, metro, access, FTTH, delivering high versatility

PureBand™ [LL] | G.652.D

Low Water Peak Single-Mode Optical Fibre
  • This higher grade of “PureBand™”has improved attenuation in compliance with ITU-T G.652.D
  • The versatility and robustness of PureBand™, combined with low-loss in 1260–1625nm (1550nm: ≤ 0.18 dB/km) provide the optimum, low-loss choice for high performance terrestrial applications

PureBand™ PLUS | G.652.D / G.657.A1

Bend Insensitive Single-Mode Optical Fibre
  • This higher grade of “PureBand™” improves bend insensitivity in compliance with ITU-T G.657.A1 and G.652.D
  • The versatility and robustness of PureBand™, together with superior bending performance of ≤10mm allow more compact cabling construction for access and FTTH applications
  • A similar MFD to conventional SMF delivering excellent splicing-loss
  • A reduced 200μm coating diameter is available to achieve:
    – Higher fibre density of cable and smaller outer cable diameter
    – More effective use of existing, limited space

PureBand™ R | G.652.D / G.657.A1

Bend Insensitive Single-Mode Optical Fibre
  • The upper model of “PureBand™” improved the bend insensitivity in compliance with ITU-T G.657.A1 and G.652.D
  • The versatility and robustness of PureBand™, together with superior bending performance of ≤10mm enable a more compact cabling construction for access and FTTH applications
  • The same MFD as conventional SMF delivering excellent splice-loss and a seamless network
  • A reduced 200μm coating diameter is available to obtain:
    – Higher fibre density of cable and smaller outer cable diameter
    – More effective use of existing limited space

PureBand™ R [LL] | G.652.D / G.657.A1

Bend Insensitive Single-Mode Optical Fibre
