Abstract
A fiber optic jumper assembly comprising at least one bend performance optical fiber comprising a core region and a cladding region surrounding the core region, the cladding region comprising an annular hole-containing region comprised of non-periodically disposed holes, a protective covering positioned over the at least one bend performance optical fiber, and at least one connector mounted upon each end of the at least one bend performance optical fiber. A preconnectorized fiber optic jumper assembly comprising a microstructured fiber having a delta attenuation of 0.00 dB at 5 wraps about a 6 mm diameter at a reference wavelength of 1625 nm.
Claims5
A preconnectorized fiber optic jumper assembly comprising:
- a microstructured fiber having a hole-free inner annular cladding region surrounding the core region, an annular hole-containing cladding region surrounding the inner annular cladding region and comprised of non periodically disposed holes, and an outer hole-free cladding region surrounding the annular hole-containing cladding region, wherein the core region has a radius R1 in the range from 1 μm to 5 μm, the inner annular cladding region has a radius R2 in the range between 10 μm and 20 μm, and the annular hole-containing cladding region has an annular width W23 in the range from 0.5 μm to 20 μm;
- at least one connector mounted upon each end of the at least one microstructured fiber;
- and
- wherein the microstructure fiber has a delta attenuation of 0.00 dB at 5 wraps about a 6 mm diameter at a reference wavelength of 1625 nm.
