Bend-Insensitive 850 nm Laser-Optimized 50 3m MaxCap-OM4-Plus Multimode Fibre for 40 and 100 Gb/s applications.

A new Draka 850 nm laser-optimized 50 3m bend-insensitive MaxCap-OM4-Plus multimode fibre has been designed on top of Draka’s already robust OM4 multimode fibre family. This fibre further optimizes the overall dispersion in VCSEL launched multimode fibre systems, not only taking care of traditional modal dispersion, but also compensating chromatic dispersion introduced by selective coupling of transverse VCSEL modes (operating at different wavelength) into fibre modes. So far IEEE does not take care of this Modal and Chromatic Dispersion Interaction (MCDI), but with increasing line speeds (e.g. to 25 Gb/s) and longer distances (>150m), this interaction cannot be ignored anymore. The overall dispersion behaviour of this new fibre is defined by a new parameter: EB (Effective Bandwidth), a combination of modal bandwidth (EMB) and chromatic bandwidth, see: D. Molin, et al., “Chromatic Dispersion Compensated Multimode Fibres for Data Communications”, ECOC 2011.

The outstanding bending performance of this bend-insensitive fibre combines improved fibre and cable management with superior bandwidth for 40 Gb/s and (future) 100 Gb/s system applications (e.g. 25 Gb/s line speeds) for extended reach.

Standards references: The MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres entirely comply with or exceed IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3 Optical Fibre Specification, ISO/IEC 11801 OM4 specification, TIA/EIA-492AAAD detail specification and Telcordia GR-20-CORE and GR-409- CORE specifications.

Features:
• MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres optimize both modal as well as chromatic dispersion
• MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres show very low bending sensitivity
• MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres are characterized by the well known EMB parameter for modal dispersion and a new EB parameter for combined chromatic and modal dispersion
• MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres are coated with the dual layer UV Acrylate

Advantages:
• For higher bit rate and longer distances chromatic dispersion cannot be ignored anymore. MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres offer the unique advantage in optimizing modal and chromatic dispersion influences when used with typical 850nm VCSEL sources
• MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres allow the use of smaller, high density fibre management systems in space limited data centres, computer rooms and LANs, improving overall system network reliability (uptime)
• MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres offer increased robustness for higher speed links (e.g. 25 Gb/s) and longer reach (e.g. increasing the max. distance with several tens of metres)
• MaxCap-BB-OM4-Plus multimode fibres show excellent microbending behaviour, which results in easy cabling and installation, supporting a max. cabled attenuation of 3.0 dB/km at 850 nm
