Optical Fiber Update 2010
CommScope OM3 and OM4 fiber tested to BOTH DMD and EMBc
Others fight over which test method is more accurate
LazrSPEED cable attenuation has been 3.0 dB since 2002
Others matched only in 2006
Core Refraction
Cladding
• Light will always change speed and direction when it moves from one
substance (IOR) to another.
• The index of refraction for both core and cladding plus the angle of
incidence determines whether reflection or refraction occurs
Multimode Fiber has a
Graded Index Profile

gases
• Soot deposited on target “bait” rod – graphite or
alumina
• Vapors flow through burner
• Combustion produces water as a byproduct
• Other gases trapped
• Target rod removed
• Preform placed in a furnace for sintering (He, O2, Cl)
• Susceptible to center dip
There are Many Processes to Make Fiber,
and They are Not all the Same
MCVD OVD
Sinters layers at the time of Two step “wet” process
deposition
Suffers from germanium
Locks in germanium
concentrations migration
Good MM profile Difficult to maintain profile
Good at Single-mode fiber
PCVD
Utilizes the most number of
layers for multimode fiber VAD
Microwave heating Good for Single-mode fiber
Locks in germanium Best attenuation for low-
concentrations waterpeak fiber
Good MM profile

CommScope now has its fiber qualified to BOTH DMD and EMBc, so there is no
argument
CommScope developed HRDMD, the best measurement method, competition
promotes an inferior method
However, just to remove all arguments, CommScope evaluates to BOTH
procedures
If a fiber fails either one, it is not used in CommScope cable

CommScope ZWP ADVANTAGE
CommScope LS ZWP SM fiber has CommScope LS ZWP zero water
the tightest Mode Field Diameter peak advantage
tolerance in the industry – CommScope led the industry with
– Directly affects splice loss in zero water peak as its standard
mechanical and fusion splices offering
Ideal dispersion characteristics in – Corning and OFS have
new window followed, but still offer S-SMF
40% more DWDM channels – EXCEEDS ITU-T G.652d
– Wide spectrum provides opportunity requirements
for low cost solutions – BEST 1383-nm attenuation (even
Multiplies revenue per fiber after hydrogen aging)
– Allows cost-effective 10 Gbps – IMPROVED attenuation spec –
operation in the 1400 nm band 0.34 / 0.31 / 0.22 dB/km
– Enables the use of lower cost ZWP fibers should be backwards
components
– Expanded bandwidth provides more
compatible with legacy single-mode
services & cost savings

SM channel is >7x the cost of 10G-SR 10xLAG ⇒ huge market acceptance barrier
Note: 10G-SR channel costs would be ~1/3rd lower with SFP+ instead of X2 modules ⇒ ~11x factor
LAG can be deployed in >100m channels but necessitates the use of 10 ports per switch,
and management of 10 separate channels
XR offers >11x lower cost w/o increased port consumption or management !!
Cost comparison does not account for module density impact on line card cost,
which would amplify the illustrated XR cost factor and shrink the LAG cost factor
XR module can be physically the same size as SR10 100m module ⇒ no loss of density

Recommended Best Solution
Given the trends towards:
- multi-lane transmission (parallel & WDM)
- higher lane rates
- higher cost and power of SM solutions
And knowing:
InstaPATCH migrates directly to parallel applications
Low Loss is the standard for 360
LazrSPEED 550
supports broader wavelength spectrum, longer reaches,
and higher data rates
matches the OM4 standard specifications
is being adopted by leading applications
