OFS to Debut TeraWave Optical Fiber [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) OFS, a designer, manufacturer and supplier of fiber optic network products, has introduced TeraWave fiber, an ITU-T G.654B single- mode fiber designed for 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s coherent transport and beyond in terrestrial long haul systems. In a release, David DiGiovanni, Chief Technology Officer of OFS, said, "The longer optical reach enabled by TeraWave fiber means fewer regeneration sites helping to save capital cost, rack space in huts, and power consumption. Furthermore, increased capacity through higher spectral efficiency has always been the driver of long haul economics, and TeraWave fiber supports this increase through optimized fiber properties. This achievement will have increasing value as transmission technology approaches the 'non-linear Shannon limit.' TeraWave fiber increases the practical capacity of optical fiber to better support future bandwidth demands."
