Draka BendBright fiber encompasses all the feature of Enhanced Single-Mode ESMF fiber and provides high resistance to additional losses due to macro-bending, particularly in the 1600 nm wavelength region.

This fiber can be used in all cable constructions, including loose tube, tight buffered, ribbon, and central tube designs. It supports long-haul, metropolitan and in particular access and premises (FTTH) applications in telecommunications, CATV, utility and intelligent traffic networks.

Opening the transmission window up to the highest wavelength region in the L-band has challenged traditional fiber macro-bending performance. BendBright meets and exceeds the challenge.

Draka fibers are further enhanced with the proprietary ColorLock-XS coating. This coating enables optimum fiber performance, reliability and durability, even in harsh environments.

The fiber complies with or exceeds the ITU-T Recommendation G.652.D and G.657.A1, the IEC International Standard 60793-2-50 type B.1.3 and B.6.A Optical Fiber Specification, Telcordia GR-20-CORE, INSI/ICEA S-87-640 and RUS 7CFR 1755.900.

Features:
• Lower PMD of 0.06 ps/√km link design value
• Improved geometrical parameters
• Proprietary APVD™ manufacturing process
• Revolutionary ColorLock-XS coating process

Advantages:
• Extends the PMD distance performance, reducing regeneration costs
• Low splice loss and high splice yield
• Superior geometry, uniformity and purity
• Increased reliability, durability, and superior aging performance, resulting in lower maintenance and replacement costs. Makes color a component of the coating, thus enhancing fiber identification and colored fiber reliability. Consistent, vibrant color for easy-of-use and flexibility
