 Softbend           

 

 

The FibreOptica’s SoftBend single mode optical fiber is ITU-T G.657A compliant and fully compatible with other standard single mode fibers complying with ITU-T G.652, thus ensuring excellent splicing performance and compatibility with legacy networks. The SoftBend fiber's less bend-sensitivity is beneficial for use in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), enterprise networks or other applications where a small bend radius may be encountered. It maintains low bending loss across the full usable spectrum of wavelengths between 1260nm and 1625nm. SoftBend fiber assemblies can improve reliability of some critical services such as triple-play by significantly reducing the bending loss compared to conventional single mode fibers, and offer better service reliability, which can increase subscriber’s satisfaction and retention, and revenue opportunities. Due to reduced bend radius, it enables tighter routing and higher fiber density for device design in CO/CPE equipment and backplane solutions.
