652: Known As Standard Single Mode Fiber. Its Zero Dispersion Point Is
infrastructure?
As we know, multimode fiber is usually divided into OM1, OM2, OM3, and
OM4. But, did you know that Single mode fibers have a classification too? And
each one has a particular characteristic.
There are two primary sources of the specification of single-mode optical fiber.
One is the ITU-T G.65x series, and the other is IEC 60793-2-50.
In this case, we are going to stablish the differences between G652 and G655
that belong to the ITU-T G.65x series. There are 19 different single-mode
optical fiber specifications defined by the ITU-T.
Each has its exclusive specification, which reflects the evolution of transmission
system technology from the earliest installation of single-mode optical fiber to
nowadays.
The more recent variants, G.652.C and G.652.D, feature a reduced water peak
that allows them to be used in the wavelength region between 1310 nm and
1550 nm supporting Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexed (CWDM)
transmission.
Differences g652 and g655
There are other types of cables in the G.65x series. Here is a little review of
each one of them:
G.657 as the latest standard for FTTH applications, along with G.652 is the
most commonly used in last drop fiber networks.
