Properties of cable with standard Enhanced SM fibre

ESMF, low water peak single mode fibre G652D, OS2, Telecom
applications
General and application
The optical fibres are made of a high grade doped silica core surrounded by a silica cladding.
They are coated with a dual layer, UV cured acrylate based coating.
This enhanced single mode fibre provides improved performance across the entire 1260 nm to 1625 nm wavelength spectrum
due to its low attenuation in 1383 nm, the water-peak region.
