最基本的是, an optical fiber is a glass thread, which can transmit messages modulated onto light waves. 有 2种主要类型 光纤, 单模(SM)光纤, 哪个只有一条路径, through a much smaller core, 多模光纤, which has a large core 和 allows for multiple paths through the fiber.
Single-Mode 光纤
The Fiber is the Network™
OFS is a world-leader in the design 和 manufacture of single-mode optical fiber for 应用程序 including transcontinental, 区域, 大都会, 家庭/企业访问, in-building fiber optic systems.
的OFS Single-mode 光纤 Selection Guide for terrestrial 应用程序 is a quick reference guide for a general underst和ing of OFS single-mode fiber types 和 应用程序. This guide describes several families of OFS fiber 和 provides recommendations for 单模光纤 中使用的 室外厂房(OSP) 以及 Indoor (前提, Enterprise) 应用程序.
Selecting the right fiber for your application can help lower system costs. Characteristics such as lower loss, 更大的有效面积, 优化色散, tight bend performance can provide economic benefits compared to using a st和ard G.652D单模光纤. Please contact OFS for a more thorough explanation of the various fiber value propositions to assist in the selection process.
的OFS single-mode product portfolio single-mode product portfolio includes the following families of optical fiber:
- TeraWave®- ITU-T G.654 long haul fiber with an optimized large effective area designed especially to support coherent systems.
- TrueWave®- ITU-T G.655和/或G.656 Non-Zero Dispersion fibers (NZDF) that have optimum chromatic dispersion characteristics to simplify 和 reduce the cost of dispersion compensation.
- AllWave®- ITU-T G.652.D st和ard 单模光纤. AllWave Zero Water Peak (ZWP) Fibers provide seamless splicing 和 can be used everywhere from long haul to shorter reach in-building 应用程序. Some of these fibers are also G.657兼容的.
