ITU-T Recommend G.654 fiber is a cut-off shifted single-mode optical fiber especially used for high bandwidth long distance transmission. The G. 654 fiber is a single mode optical fiber and cable which has the zero-dispersion
wavelengths around 1300nm, the fiber with loss minimized and cut-off wavelength shifted at around 1550nm. the fiber standard was firstly introduced in year 1988. The ITU-T G.654 Fiber could be applied in higher bandwidht submarine systems, back haul system.
Applications
- 100 Gb/s, 400 Gb/s, and 1 Tb/s using coherent modulation formats
- Dense wave-division multiplexing
- Long unrepeatered spans such as those encountered in remote regions
- Optically-routed mesh networks
- Terabit super-channels
- Ultra-long haul 10 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s
