Optical Fiber Types
A complete line of singlemode, multimode & specialty fibers.

Draka Communications cables are available with a complete line of Singlemode, Multimode & Specialty Fibers.  As the second largest supplier of optical fiber worldwide, Draka provides quality fiber that fits your real world applications - with more than 25 million miles of fiber deployed in North America.



Singlemode Fibers

ESMF Enhanced Singlemode
Provides improved performance across the entire 1260nm to 1625nm wavelenght spectrum, including low attenuation in the 1383nm water-peak region.
BendBright SingleMode
Low Macrobending Sensitive Single Mode Fiber
BendBrightXS
The new BendBrightXS single mode fibre is optimized for enhanced low macrobending sensitivity compared to the regular BendBright™
NZDSF TeraLight Ultra
Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber: G.655.E/g.656.  Uniquely optimized for effective area, chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope. This enables excellent distortion management, cost effective operation at 10 and 40 Gbps, tight channel spacing in C- and L-bands, compatibility with the future S-band.

Standard SMF
Standard Single Mode Fibre (SMF) provides optimum performance in both the 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength operating ranges (including the 1565-1625 nm L-band), with a low dispersion in the 1310nm window.
