5. Conclusion
Two types of Ring-Core shaped PSCF with
Aeff of 112 m2 and 130 m2 were
designed to cover system reach of 4,000
km to 10,000 km, and ultra-low attenuation
of 0.154 dB/km at 1550 nm in average was
demonstrated successfully for the PSCFs
with good stability in a large quantity of
10,000 km over an extended period of 6
months on a mass-production basis.
Bending performance, environmental and
mechanical characteristics also were
confirmed to be normal. The two types of
PSCFs are thought to be able to contribute
to the dramatic capacity growth in
submarine systems.
