Ribbon slotted core cable with non-zero dispersion shifted optical fiber for WDM metropolitan network

摘要

A ribbon slotted core cable with newly developed non-zero dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) produced by expanding conventional DSF manufacturing technology and using an advanced VAD method, has been developed for implementing large capacity fiber optic networks operated in metropolitan areas. The newly developed NZ-DSF has a small chromatic dispersion slope with a large effective core area while maintaining superior bending performance.
