Optical Fiber Types
A complete line of singlemode, multimode & specialty fibers.
Draka offers a complete portfolio of optical fiber products to support bandwidth intense applications. Singlemode fibers include Enhanced Singlemode (Low Water Peak), TeraLight, NZDSF-LA, and the BendBright family of bend-insensitive fiber. All Draka fibers are fully compliant with relevant industry standards including ITU, TIA, ICEA, IEC, SCTE, Telcordia and RUS. Draka's proprietary processes such as the PCVD (Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition) core preform process and the APVD (Advanced Plasma Vapor Deposition) over-cladding process combine with a strong commitment to research and development to well position Draka customers with the right fiber product for any network requirement.
Singlemode Fibers
BendBright-XS (BX)
The new BendBright-XS singlemode fiber is optimized for enhanced low macrobending sensitivity compared to the regular BendBright.
|
BendBright SingleMode (BB)
Low Macrobending Sensitive Single Mode Fiber
|
Enhanced Singlemode (ES)
Provides improved performance across the entire 1260nm to 1625nm wavelength spectrum, including low attenuation in the 1383nm water-peak region.
|
TeraLight Ultra Singlemode (TU)
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, compatible with the future S-band.
|
TeraLight Singlemode (TM)
Draka’s TeraLight Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber (NZDSF) has set the standard for high bit-rate, multi-wavelength transmission. Its unique optimization of effective area, chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope enables excellent distorsion management cost effective operation at 10 and 40 Gbps, tight channel spacing in C and L-bands, compatible with the future S-band.
|
NZDSF-LA Singlemode (LA)
Draka Communications Optical Fiber offers Large Area Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Cabled Fiber (NZDSF) for long-haul transmission. These designs have been developed for optimized dispersion characteristics in high-capacity, long-distance networks. Compliant to ITU-T G.655 and G.656 recommendations, these fibers support today's CWDM systems as well as tomorrows DWDM applications.

ColorLock-XS Fiber Coating
Unlike
other Singlemode fibers on the market that require an additional
process to color the fiber, ColorLock-XS uses a patented technology in
which the fibers are colored during the draw process. Draka fibers
offer unmatched reliability and worldclass optical and aging
performance using Draka’s revolutionary ColorLock-XS Coating System
which incorporates color into the fibers’ secondary coating. This
replaces the traditional method of surface application of thin layers
of ultraviolet (UV) curable inks by passing the fiber through small
dies. Coloring with inks after the coating process can result in
geometric fluctuations, color variations and reduction in strength
through die abrasion. With Draka fibers, coated geometry is guaranteed
and fiber color is always vibrant and consistent, even with age. Most
important, Draka fiber with ColorLock-XS is 100% proof-tested after
coloring to guarantee fiber strength and durability. Fibers made by
other manufacturers are only proof-tested uncolored, leaving the
impacts of coloring on the fibers’ strength untested.
