Abstract
Escalating bandwidth requirements (video, data, and voice) for residential customers has justified the fiber penetration into buildings and living units. To achieve efficient installations of fiber cables, many challenges in existing optical fiber design must be overcome. Macro-bend loss was identified as a major barrier for fiber deployment in such small, dense and tight scenarios, in which copper was typically the choice. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the requirements for macro-bend performance, and the results of field trails using revolutionary fiber technology.
