Bend Performance and Compatibility

nnnn

Corning® ClearCurve® ZBL Optical Fiber delivers the best macrobending performance in the industry

nnnn

while maintaining compatibility with current optical fibers, equipment, practices, and procedures. This

nnnn

full-spectrum single-mode optical fiber when subjected to smaller radii bends experiences virtually no

nnnn

signal loss. ClearCurve fiber exceeds the most stringent bend performance requirements of ITU-T

nnnn

Recommendations G.657.B3, while remaining fully compliant with ITU-T Recommendation G.652.D and

nnnn

the installed base of Corning® SMF-28e® and SMF-28e+® fiber. Now network planners and designers can

nnnn

design optical fiber into much more challenging installations and environments, and cable designers can

nnnn

offer optical cables with unmatched ruggedness for easier installation and handling.

The link design value is a term used to describe the

nnnn

PMD of concatenated lengths of fiber (also known as

nnnn

PMDQ). This value represents a statistical upper limit

nnnn

for total link PMD. Individual PMD values may change

nnnn

when fiber is cabled. Coming's fiber specification

supports emerging network design requirements for

nnnn

high-data-rate systems operating at 10 Gb/s or higher.
