TFO Mini (G.657.A2 200µm)

Based on the optimum coated layer design, TFO MiniTM LightBend Plus optical fibre keeps the cladding 

diameter unchanged but with coated diameter dramatical reduction. This product still retains the  same

and outstanding properties as ITU-T G.657.A2 and IEC 60793-2-50 type B6.a2 fibre with  traditional coated

diameter 245μm. And with zero water peak, low attenuation and excellent  uniformity, low chromatic dispersion

and PMD, excellent macrobending loss at minimum radius  7.5mm, superior and stable geometrical size control 

level, this full spectrum fibre is applicable to  transmission system operating over the entire wavelength from

1260nm to 1625nm.

 

TFO MiniTM  LightBend Plus optical fibre supports higher density and smaller diameter cables which can

improve  duct utilization and save resource, widely used in the applications of FTTH, high count fibre cable, 

microcables. etc.
