Prysmian Group has introduced a bend insensitive single-mode optical fiber with 180µm outer diameter. Prysmian’s BendBrightXS 180µm will enable an unprecedented level of cable miniaturization and confirms Prysmian commitment to support the evolution of high-density optical networks.
BendBrightXS 180 µm diameter fiber will enable new cable systems with extreme fiber density and smaller diameter. In 2009, Prysmian introduced BendBrightXS 200µm, the first-ever commercialized bend insensitive single-mode optical fiber, especially designed for high density access networks. Since then, reduced diameter fibers have opened an innovative gateway for many new cable systems applicable to a variety of network configurations.
With its advanced ColorLock-XS coating system, BendBrightXS 180 µm ensures excellent bending performance and mechanical reliability.
