Types of Single-Mode Fiber Cable

✅ Enhanced Single-Mode Fiber (ESMF)
Description: Offers improved performance over standard single-mode fiber, with lower attenuation and higher bandwidth capabilities.
Usage: Ideal for high-speed, long-distance communication, especially in modern data networks.
✅ Dispersion-Shifted Fiber (DSF)
Description: Designed to minimize chromatic dispersion at a specific wavelength, usually 1550 nm.
Usage: Used in long-haul and metropolitan area networks to reduce signal distortion over long distances.
✅ Standard Single-Mode Fiber (SSMF)
Description: The most common type of single-mode fiber, optimized for 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.
Usage: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications and data centers.
✅ Non-Zero Dispersion-Shifted Fiber (NZDSF)
Description: Combines the benefits of dispersion-shifted and standard single-mode fibers, with slight dispersion to avoid nonlinear effects.
Usage: Ideal for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) applications in long-distance communication.
✅ Bend-Insensitive Fiber (BIF)
Description: Engineered to resist signal loss due to bending, making it more durable in tight spaces.
Usage: Perfect for installations in confined areas, such as in-building or fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments
