ENDLESS INNOVATION“ Today, vast amounts of information are running across the transmission

at extremely high speeds.”

WidePassTM

Low Water Peak Fiber

For several years, the optical fiber manufacturers have worked to minimize the water peak attenuation loss, allowing for proper transmission, even at wavelengths within the 1383 nm range. These reduced water peak fibers are considered full spectrum because the reduction of loss in the water absorption spectral region (the E band) allows transmission in this previously unusable portion of the spectrum.

BendfreeTM |Bendfree+TM

Bend Insensitive Fiber

When standard fiber is used, the fiber must be installed very carefully to ensure that no small bends along the fiber path to avoid loss. The bending requirement for deployment limits dimensions of hardware and imposes significant costs for FTTH installations.

Ultra BendfreeTM

Ultra Bend Insensitive Fiber

The strong needs for FTTH solutions are optimized for installation in-home. However, there are many challenges associated with the deployment indoor environment. For in-home wiring applications, bend radii in the range of 5 mm are very common due to restricted spaces, sharp corners, and the use of staplers to secure cables.

UltraPassTM

Non-zero Dispersion-shifted Fiber

Samsung's UltraPassTM fiber is suitable for the next generation networks such as high speed wide band, long haul system, etc. due to the large effective area compared with conventional NZ-DSF, it minimize the non-linear effects for high capacity system.
