Characteristics
The information you've provided includes details about fiber optic cables and their various performance specifications. Here's a breakdown of the key characteristics:
Fiber Types and Specifications:
-
G.652.D and G.655 are types of single-mode fiber with specific attenuation and dispersion characteristics, which are often used in various optical transmission systems.
- G.652.D is a standard single-mode fiber with lower attenuation, suitable for most general applications.
- G.655 is a non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber designed for long-haul, high-capacity transmission, especially where dispersion compensation is needed.
-
Multimode Fibers:
- 50/125 µm and 62.5/125 µm are the core/cladding diameters for multimode fibers, commonly used for short-distance data transmission (e.g., within buildings or campus environments).
Attenuation (Signal Loss):
Bandwidth (Signal Transmission Capacity):
- Multimode fibers:
- At 850 nm, 50/125 µm fiber has a bandwidth of ≥500 MHz·km, while 62.5/125 µm fiber has ≥200 MHz·km.
- At 1300 nm, 50/125 µm fiber has a bandwidth of ≥1000 MHz·km, while 62.5/125 µm fiber has ≥600 MHz·km.
Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD):
- Individual Fiber: Both G.652.D and G.655 fibers have a polarization mode dispersion value of ≤0.20 ps/√km.
- Design Link Value (M=20, Q=0.01%): Both G.652.D and G.655 fibers have a design link value of ≤0.1 ps/√km.
