Designed for 100 Gbps coherent transport in submarine systems for distances up to 12,000 km, TeraWave™ ULA Ocean Fiber has effective area of 153 µm² that reduces nonlinearities. This enables launch of higher signal power into span as well as low attenuation (0.176 dB/km at 1,550 nm) that reduces signal loss. Nonlinearity performance and spectral efficiency increase in shorter length applications. Along with LWP performance, fiber offers nominal PMD of 0.02 ps/√km at 1,550 nm.
