Mercury’s LWPF is designed to provide improved performance across the full wavelength region form 1265 to 1625nm.
Mercury’s LWPF fully meets ITU-T G.652 and is available for use in loose tube cable, ribbon and other cable designs. Mercury use ultra-pure materials based on silica, so this optical fiber has excellent optical and mechanical performance.
