Based on the optimum coated layer design, TFO MiniTM LightBend Plus optical fibre keeps the cladding
diameter unchanged but with coated diameter dramatical reduction. This product still retains the same
and outstanding properties as ITU-T G.657.A2 and IEC 60793-2-50 type B6.a2 fibre with traditional coated
diameter 245μm. And with zero water peak, low attenuation and excellent uniformity, low chromatic dispersion
and PMD, excellent macrobending loss at minimum radius 7.5mm, superior and stable geometrical size control
level, this full spectrum fibre is applicable to transmission system operating over the entire wavelength from
1260nm to 1625nm.
TFO MiniTM LightBend Plus optical fibre supports higher density and smaller diameter cables which can
improve duct utilization and save resource, widely used in the applications of FTTH, high count fibre cable,
microcables. etc.
