For high bit rate DWDM systems in the Metro environment

General and application
Teralight Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fibre (NZDSF) has set the standard for high bit-rate, multi-wavelength transmission. Its unique optimization of effective area, chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope enables excellent distortion management, cost-effective operation at 10 and 40 Gbps, tight channel spacing in C and L bands, compatibility with future S band and provides full compliance with the new ITU G.656 recommendation. TeraLigth Metro is further optimized for metropolitan backbone applications. It supports 10 Gbps transmission without dispersion compensation for distances of about 200 km, resulting in cost savings compared to standard single mode fibre. For longer distances or 40 Gpbs operation, commercially available compensating devices can be used. The same fibre also supports short-length metro systems, providing additional cost savings.
