Product Description

1550 nm Select Cutoff

Single-Mode Fibers

Nufern’s 1550B-HP high-performance select cutoff bend insensitive single-mode fiber is optimized for use in small form

factor active and passive components requiring tight bend radii. With a bend loss considerably lower than SMF-28™, 1550B

HP is ideal for the video leg in FTTH CWDM and applications such as smaller form factor C and L-band components and low

NA planar waveguides.

Typical Applications

• FTTx components and modules

• Compact C and L-band components

• Low NA planar waveguides

• Metro components

Features & Benefits

• Optimized cutoff for 1550 nm wavelength — Extremely low bend loss

• Tight mechanical and optical tolerances — high yield component manufacturing

• Mode matched to SMF-28 — Low splice loss to standard fibers

• High proof test for tighter bends — Critical for long-term reliability in tight bend applications
