OFS' ALLWAVE® ZERO WATER PEAK (ZWP)

OFS' AllWave® Zero Water Peak (ZWP)

OFS’ AllWave® Zero Water Peak (ZWP) single-mode optical fiber is the industry’s first full-spectrum fiber designed for optical transmission systems operating over the entire wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1625 nm.

AllWave ZWP fiber sets the benchmark and maintains leadership with specifications that are fully compliant with ITU-T G.652 standards for single-mode optical fiber and even exceed requirements of the latest ITU-T G.652.D low water peak (LWP) fi ber standard.

Since the commercialization of AllWave ZWP fiber in 1998, the E-band (1400 nm window) is available to inexpensively expand the capacity of optical networks. This is due to an OFS patented manufacturing process that permanently removes the water peak defect to ensure low and stable loss performance in the 1400 nm band and over the lifetime of the cable. AllWave ZWP fiber offers the lowest loss of all commercial LWP fibers in the industry.

Features & Benefits:

  • Fully Compatible with all conventional singlemode fiber international standards- the addition of AllWave ZWP to an existing network will maximize the extended network performance
