AllWave ZWP Fiber

(Zero Water Peak)

A Furukawa Company

The industrys first zero water peak single-mode fiber for reliable full-spectrum performance.

Overview
AllWave Zero Water Peak (ZWP) Single-Mode Optical Fiber is a full-spectrum ber designed for optical transmission systems operating over the entire wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1625 nm. Developed by OFS, the ber is made with a patented manufacturing process that permanently removes the water peak defect to ensure low and stable loss performance in the 1400 nm band and over the lifetime of the cable. AllWave ZWP Fiber offers the lowest loss of all commercial low water peak bers in the industry for access and FTTX networks.

Features/Benefits:
Low optical loss across the entire spectrum from 1260 1625 nm, providing a 50 percent increase in usable spectrum, enabling 16-channel CWDM as well as DWDM support A patented manufacturing technology that permanently removes the water peak defect for low, stable loss performance in the 1400 nm band Long-term attenuation reliability due to the use of high purity synthetic silica Ultra-low ber PMD allows speed and distance upgrades The industrys tightest geometric control for lowest splice loss and improved connectorization performance Macrobend performance superior to the G.652D standard

With the availability of electronics throughout the spectrum, including the previously unused 1360 1460 nm E band, AllWave ZWP Fiber provides additional capacity in the network.

Product Description
AllWave ZWP Fiber is ideally designed for use in metropolitan, local, and access networks due to its superior specications low optical loss across the entire wavelength range from 1260 to 1625 nm, tightest available geometry, low splice loss, and low polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Combined with complete compatibility with embedded ber base, these features provide ultimate network design exibility and enable cost-effective solutions to help maximize return on investment. OFS ensures the reliability of AllWave ZWP Fiber by using a patented manufacturing process that minimizes attenuation across the full spectrum, providing low and stable loss throughout the life of the cable, even when exposed to hydrogen. Stable loss over the bers lifetime is ensured through the use of high purity synthetic silica glass. AllWave ZWP Fiber features OFS high performance DLux coating for excellent environmental protection and long-term reliability. This robust dual coating system is applied over the cladding to protect the ber but can be easily removed for splicing and connectorization. OFS ultra-low and stable PMD performance supports future high-speed upgrades. The excellent geometrical properties and tight mode eld control of AllWave ZWP Fiber enables consistently low loss splices when matched either to itself or other leading G.652 bers. This helps eliminate splice remakes in the eld, lowering the cost of deploying ber.
