Reduced Bend Radius Fiber

Reduced bend radius fiber products are making their presence felt across the fiber-optic telecommunication industry. The main benefit of these new fibers is their ability to bend more tightly than their traditional counterparts with no discernable increase in attenuation. This characteristic enables easier fiber installation, particularly inside structures, promising many new applications for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) architectures. These fibers will likely have the most dramatic affect within the multiple dwelling unit (MDU) environments | Reduced Bend Radius Fiber Deploying in MDU Environments Deploying Reduced Bend Radius fiber in MDU Environments Reduced bend radius fiber products are making their presence felt across the fiber-optic telecommunication industry. The main benefit of these new fibers is their ability to bend more tightly than their traditional counterparts with no discernable increase in attenuation. This characteristic enables easier fiber installation particularly inside structures promising many new applications for fiber-to-the-home FTTH architectures. These fibers will likely have the most dramatic affect within the multiple dwelling unit MDU environments. MDUs pose significant challenges to network installers who must run fiber through multiple living units on multiple floors. The fiber cable must be deployed along walls and through microducts where there is much more sensitivity to the issue of aesthetics. For example a common practice is to hide the fiber behind crown moldings and through existing ductwork to keep it out of sight. Obviously the bend radius of any fiber is pushed to the limit in these types of applications. This makes the promise of reduced bend radius fiber extremely welcome among service providers eyeing the revenue-generating MDU environment. Their rapid emergence is also creating many misconceptions about properly handling and managing these fibers sometimes referred to as bend resistant or bend insensitive. As much as the installer might like to believe the hype that touts reduced bend radius fiber as being virtually indestructible nothing could be further from the truth. Despite their improved bend radius characteristics these fibers require the same careful handling temperature considerations and good routing practices as traditional fibers. Service providers simply cannot afford the potential network issues that may result from a technician or installer who decides that fiber cable management is no longer a necessity.
