Utilising its core competencies in the manufacturing and cabling
of optical fibre, Prysmian produces optical fibre units specifically engineered for Blown Fibre
applications. The fibres are contained in a soft inner acrylate layer which cushions the fibres, an
outer harder layer which protects the fibre from damage and a low friction layer that assists in
improving blowing distance, which is typically in excess of 1000 meters. The Sirocco units are
available in a range of lengths up to 6000 meters.
Standard singlemode optical fibres are most suitable for the 1310nm wavelength
range, but can also be used at 1550nm. This allows singlemode fibre to be used with a variety of
sources, from LED's to lasers, offering a highly versatile fibre carrying high bit rates on
multiple channels. Prysmian singlemode fibre is compatible with other fibres and employed across
the world in optical systems.

- MagniLight Fibre
Low water peak singlemode fibre offers the possibility of extra bandwidth (65% more usable
wavelengths) by reducing the water peak around 1383 nm enabling it to be used with current and
emerging technologies that can reduce network costs by increasing transmission capacity.

- CasaLight Fibre
Bend insensitive fibre allowing installation of optical cables up to the final customer. In
FTTH application easy deployment of cables into buildings and eventually to the customer's flat
rely on the possibility to bend the optical fibres in very tight bends with very limited induced
attenuation. Prysmian CasaLight fibre is the perfect answer when deployment involves fibre bending
down to 10 mm radii (typically up to the building riser cables), while more extreme conditions
(drop cables, user cables) with down to 7.5 mm radii bending require CasaLight Plus.

- Multimode Fibre
The best solution for local applications. Multimode fibres are intended for all applications
where the distances covered are short, such as Local Area Networks (LAN) or all networks with a
small reach like campus, buildings or offices. A multimode fibre also enables connections for
backbone, riser and horizontal links. All these networks are characterised as having many points of
access to the fibre and the short distances covered. The index profile of multimode fibres is
specifically tuned to provide the optimum solution for these local applications. The range of
multimode fibres has been extended over the last few years in order to offer solutions for 10 Gbit
operation. Prysmian now manufactures Sirocco fibre bundles with four options of multimode fibre.
62.5/125 Fibre
50/125 Fibre
50/125 Enhanced Fibre
50/125 Enhanced Fibre (OM3)- Extended Range
Prysmian fibres are manufactured using Neon technology, where a coloured layer of acrylate is
applied to the fibre during drawing instead of adding an inked layer afterwards. The advantages
offered by this technology include:
• Improved watersoak performance, fibres have been immersed in water for almost 10-years with
no sign of degradation
• Better control of finished fibre dimensions, particularly valuable in ribbon fibres
• More lucid, vibrant colours for easy differentiation when splicing
