HFCL A2 Optical Fiber
Optical Fiber (OF) forms the core of any OFC product, and HFCL is proud to be one of the finest producers of high-quality and multi-configuration Optical Fiber. HFCL facility manufacturing Optical Fiber houses the latest cutting-edge machinery delivering premium products, enabling HFCL to maintain its leadership in this segment. Our in-house R&D teams ensure product superiority at each level of the manufacturing value chain.
HFCL A2 Optical Fiber is a single mode fiber that features superior bend insensitivity over the entire bandwidth range of 1260 nm to 1625 nm, which reduces the attenuation losses in bending to maintain high performance data transmission. The fiber has better macro-bend loss performance at sharper turn radii and low dispersion. The fiber is specifically suitable for access and FTTH applications.
This fiber complies or exceeds the ITU – T G.657.A2 standards.
