Fiber Optic Cable Optical fibers from a choice of major cable manufacturers are available in several grades to manage the bandwidth requirements of today's voice, data and video networks. Single Mode Enhanced single mode (ESMF) features improved attenuation and optical loss performance. Now the standard offering for long haul, metro/campus applications, Fiber-to-the-home (FTTh) and premise networks. Low and Zero Water Peak (better performance across all wavelengths), Non-Zero Dispersion-Shifted (NZDF) and bendinsensitive versions are available. Used in all constructions including loose tube, tight buffer, ribbon and central tube designs. Multimode Multimode fiber (MM) provides superior performance for many short distance and premise networks with demanding bandwidth applications and Gigabit transmission speeds. Standard grade 62.5 FDDI to Laster-optimized 50µm versions are available. Many constructions are available to meet the needs for all outdoor and indoor applications. Gel Free Manufacture defines "gel free" fiber optic cables as cables with no water blocking gel between or in the buffer tubes. Cables with no water blocking gel between the buffer tubes only are described as dry.
