Welcome To Twentsche (Nanjing) Fibre Optics Ltd. (for short: TFO)！
Based on the optimum RIP design, TFO LightBend? fibre is a full spectrum fibre with zero water peak, low
attenuation and excellent uniformity, low chromatic dispersion and PMD, excellent macrobending loss at
minimum radius 10mm, superior and stable geometrical size control level, this full spectrum fibre is
applicable to transmission system operating over the entire wavelength from 1260nm to 1625nm.
TFO LightBend? fibre meets or exceeds the ITU-T Recommendation G.657.A1 and IEC 60793-2-50 type 6.a1
Optical Fiber Specification. With the same mode field diameter as standard single mode fibre, this makes
TFO LightBend? fibre fully compatible with traditional ITU-T G.652.D and IEC 60793-2-50 type B1.3 fibre
and widely used in all types of optical cables.
