Comments
Standard 50 m MM fiber
Standard 50 m MM fiber,
HiCap: Enhanched range for 1 Gbit
Ethernet at 1300 nm
MaxCap 550. Range for 10Gbit
Ethernet at 850 nm: 550 m
MaxCap 300. Range for 10Gbit
Ethernet ved 850 nm: 300 m
Discontinued, use C01a
Special fibre for FTTH with specified
attenuation and bandwidth from 1240 nm
to 1550 nm
Standard 62.5 m fibre
HiCap: Extra long range for 1 Gbit
Ethernet at 1300 nm
Fulfils old requirements e.g. FDDI
Standard SM fibre
Telecom grade fibre with low attenuation
XS
BendBright : Fibre with greatly
reduced bend sensibility
BendBrightXS: Fibre with greatly
reduced bend sensibility. Special
selected fibre with tight physical
tolerances for connector mounting

BendBright : Special fibre reduced

macro bending sensitivity particularly at
1500 nm and 1625 nm
Special selected fibre with tight physical
tolerances for connector mounting,
supplied as standard for cables with tight
buffer.
Discontinued, use C06e
TeraLight Ultra: Non-zero dispersionshifted single mode fibre for ultra long
haul applications
TeraLight Metro: Non-zero dispersionshifted single mode fibre for metro
applications

*) Also G.652.D is fulfilled.
