Single mode fibres still account for the great majority, by volume, of fibre installed every
year in the world.
• High Bandwidth
Single mode optical fibres are best suited for the 1310 nm wavelength range, but can also be
used around 1550 nm. To this purpose, SM Light is fully characterized through to 1625 nm,
permitting the transmission of multiple channels over long distances.
• Compatibility
Single mode optical fibres are at the core of the majority of installations throughout the
world. A vast database has been accumulated over time that shows this fibre to be a truly
compatible product, both with other fibres and with optical systems employed globally.
• PMD Excellence
SM Light still sets the PMD world standard for ITU-T G.652 fibres, a parameter where only
true excellence allows achieving such low value.
• Fibre Coating
SM Light is also available with the latest generation coating: Neon™Plus. Neon™Plus is an
evolution of the highly acclaimed Neon™ coating used by Prysmian worldwide for well over 10 years.
This coating offers increased resistance to bending and improved performances against temperature
variation and mechanical disturbances.
