1550-nm Loss-Minimized Fiber

　　he ITU-T G.654 fiber is optimized for operation in the 1500-nm to 1600-nm region.

　　This fiber has a low loss in the 1550-nm band. Low loss is achieved by using a pure silica core. ITU-T G.654 fibers can handle higher power levels and have a larger core area. These fibers have a high chromatic dispersion at 1550 nm. The ITU G.654 fiber has been designed for extended long-haul undersea applications.
