High-density optical cable with ultra-low-loss, large effective area ITU-T G.654.E Optical fiber
This technical paper presents a new terrestrial optical fiber cable using the ITU-T G.654.E Corning TXF® fiber and describes its technical characteristics and applications. The cable features a very compact design, containing ultra-low attenuation G.654.E fiber (typically 0.166 dB/km at 1550 nm) and large effective area (typically 125 μm2 at 1550 nm), allowing 50% more light to be pumped into the fiber when compared with a ITU-T G.652.D single-mode fiber. The fiber’s large effective area helps mitigate undesirable non-linear effects like Cross Phase Modulation, Self-Phase Modulation or Four-Wave Mixing, therefore maintaining a higher SNR for data rates up to 800G, enabling longer transmission distances and higher capacity networks. The high-density cable designed by Ecotel features 96 fibers on a reduced cable diameter and weight compared to existing G.654 cable design, addressing customer needs for use in pre-existing micro-ducts, with limited right of way and space constraints. The high density of the cable required the use of colored and ring-marked fibers inside loose tubes for identification.
