FTTR using 1550nm bend-insensitive fiber
This guide explains how to design and install indoor fiber for FTTH and FTTR projects using LSZH G. B3 bend-insensitive OS2 cables, so you meet safety, performance and aesthetic requirements in one shot. They have high proof strength, large Weibull modulus, and superior dynamic fatigu parameter to maintain high mechanical reliability (long lifetimes). PANDA PM Bend Insensitive R5 Specialty Optical Fiber is designed with significant improved bend performance down to 5 mm radius, suited to meet the needs of reduced packaging and high data rate, and to enable optical networks, datacom, data center densification. When stressed by bending, light in the outer part of the core is no longer guided in the core of the fiber so some is lost, coupled from the core into the cladding, creating a higher loss in the stressed section of the fiber.
