BendBright™ A2 Bend Insensitive Single Mode Fiber

Prysmian BendBright™ A2 Fiber
Product description

BendBright™ A2 fiber delivers the extraordinary bend performance of a G.657.A2 fiber, while splicing seamlessly with G.652 and G.657.A1 fibers. This unique feature is achieved through an innovative core profile that has the same mode field diameter as a standard G.652 fiber. BendBright A2 provides exceptional bend performance for demanding applications where A1 or even A1+ fibers fall short. BendBright A2 fiber meets and exceeds the requirements of ITU G.657.A2 and G.652D and is rated for a minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm.

 

Features and Benefits 

  • Low bending losses
    • Specified down to a 7.5 mm bend radius; 1 turn loss ≤ 0.50 dB @ 1550 nm.
    • Allows a smaller bend radius with small diameter cables such as high density micro cables, patch cords and distribution cables.-Mitigates losses caused by improper installations.
    • Allows the use of smaller splice trays or closures.
    • Provides lower bending losses at higher wavelengths such as 1625 nm, which future proofs the network.
    • Improves long-term attenuation stability by reducing losses related to temperature cycling and mid-span buffer-tube storage.
  • Full backward ITU G.652.D SMF compatibility
  • Compliant with ITU G.652.D and IEC 60793-2-50 B-652.D low water peak SMF specifications.
  • Compatible with equipment designed for G.652 fibers; fully transparent from a transmission perspective.
  • Splice compatible with ITU G.652 SMF using standard single mode fiber machine settings.
  • Full 1260-1625 nm low water peak compliance.

 

Applicable Standards
