Introducing ColorLockXS
For quicker and
easier installation

Draka ColorLockXS | Value Innovation for all your singlemode ber needs
Value Innovation is a way of looking at the world. How we can help our customers do more, make more, save more, achieve more.
Take Draka ColorLockXS. An evolution of our trusted ColorLock optical-ber coating, ColorLockXS delivers never-before-seen
levels of value and performance. New, punchier colors make bers even easier to identify. A ten-fold improvement in micro-bending
tolerance ensures a higher transmission performance. Enhanced stripability speeds installation. Improved de-lamination resistance
enables aggressive cable designs. All of which means lower costs, less rework, less maintenance and a longer life expectancy for your
cables. And with ColorLockXS now available across the entire Draka Singlemode Fiber range, you get all these benets no matter
which singlemode ber you need. Thats Value Innovation in action.

Fiber Types

a complete line of singlemode, multimode & specialty bers

(Standard Singlemode, Enhanced Singlemode, TeraLight,
NZDSF-LA, BendBright and BendBrightXS, Standard 50/125
Multimode, MaxCap, HiCap, HiCapXS and Standard 62.5/125
Multimode, HiCap)

Draka offers a complete portfolio of optical ber products to support a variety of applications
and requirements. Singlemode bers include standard singlemode, Enhanced Singlemode (Low
Water Peak), TeraLight, NZDSF-LA, BendBright and BendBrightXS . Our newest singlemode
ber, BendBrightXS is optimized for enhanced low macrobending sensitivity. The multimode line
includes 50/125 in standard, MaxCap, HiCap, HiCapXS versions and 62.5/125 products in standard
and HiCap versions. All Draka bers are fully compliant with relevant industry standards including
ITU, TIA, ICEA, IEC, EIA, Telcordia and RUS. Thanks to unique processes developed in-house,
PCVDTM (Plasma-Activated Chemical Vapor Deposition) and APVD (Advanced Plasma Vapor
Deposition), as well as a strong commitment to R&D, Draka Communications Optical Fiber is well
positioned to provide customers with the right product for their needs, whether it be Datacom in a
LAN environment or Telecom, ranging from the rst mile right up to the high-speed international
backbone network.

BendBrightXS
Draka bers offer unmatched reliability and world-class optical and aging performance using
Drakas revolutionary ColorLock Coating System which incorporates color into the bers
secondary coating. This replaces the traditional method of surface application of thin layers of
ultraviolet (UV) curable inks by passing the ber through small dies. Coloring with inks after the
coating process can result in geometric uctuations, color variations and reduction in strength
through die abrasion. With Draka bers, coated geometry is guaranteed and ber color is always
vibrant and consistent, even with age. Most important, Draka ber is 100% proof-tested after
coloring to guarantee ber strength and durability. Fibers made by other manufacturers are only
proof-tested uncolored, leaving the impacts of coloring on the bers strength untested.

Draka is fully committed to developing ber and cable solutions that not only answer
todays bandwidth requirements, but also anticipate the needs and technologies of tomorrow.
