UltraWave® IDF®/SLA Ocean Fibers

UltraWave® Ocean Fiber are the latest innovation from OFS, designed for very long transoceanic networks. The combination of UltraWave SLA and IDF® Fibers deliver more than 3 times the bandwidth over longer distances than ever before. Matched dispersion slope fiber sets using UltraWave Fiber will permit more channels per fiber pair over the extreme distances required.

AllWave® ZWP Ocean Fiber

OFS’ zero water peak non-dispersion shifted single-mode fibers are also available for ocean applications. Prooftested to 200 kspi, these fibers are available as uncolored fiber or in engineered, colored and spliced sets.

AllWave® ZWP Fiber offers ocean customers industry-leading performance specifications, superior reliability, and unsurpassed quality.  It is an excellent solution for dispersion compensation in ocean systems utilizing TrueWave SRS and TrueWave XL fibers. AllWave® FLEX ZWP Fiber is the first Zero Water Peak G.652D fiber to offer outstanding bend performance. It is an excellent choice for ocean riser applications or for cable designs that require a highly bend-resistant fiber.
