White Paper: Optical Fiber & Optical Power Loss
The need for bandwidth is constantly changing. Today’s tech-driven businesses demand more connectivity to support customer interactions as well as internal operations. Fiber backbones provide the critical link for enterprises to access Cloud Providers, Data Centers and 5G broadband services.
Prysmian Group’s partnership with Bandwidth IG is leading the world in the commercialization of Bend-Insensitive Fiber (BIF), which is dramatically less sensitive to both macro and micro bending than conventional Single Mode fibers using FlexRibbon™ Technology.
As the demand for network speeds increase, enterprise network operators are demanding lower loss budgets, even on relatively short links. Due to this new technology, customers experience improvements to cabled fiber performance and drastically reduced stress on the fibers leading to less optical (degradation of signal) loss.
“Our customers have increasingly strict requirements on loss budgets to accommodate the enormous bandwidth demands on their networks. We deployed the Prysmian product through-out our network to ensure we were able to meet and exceed these needs.”

Vice President of Operations for Bandwidth IG
