The information provided focuses on **OFSCN® G.657 Optical Fiber** , which is a bend-insensitive single-mode fiber designed to overcome space constraints in high-density environments like FTTH and data centers.

### Technical Overview: OFSCN® G.657 Optical Fiber

This fiber is engineered to maintain high signal stability even when subjected to small bending radii, which would typically cause significant macro-bending loss in standard G.652.D fibers.

**Key Specifications:**

- **Fiber Type:** Bend-insensitive single-mode fiber (available in G.657.A2 and G.657.B3 standards).
- **Core Diameter:** 9 μm.
- **Cladding Diameter:** 125 μm.
- **Coating Diameter:** 255 μm.
- **Coating Material:** Polyacrylate.
- **Compatibility:** Fully backwards compatible with G.652.D networks.
