Pirelli's new FreeLight EasySplice optical fiber helps operators cut costs by reducing signal attenuation from splice loss
February 25, 2003
MILAN, Italy -- Engineers at Pirelli’s optical fibre R&D unit in Milan have significantly enhanced the performance of its long-distance optical fibre to help operators cut costs by further reducing signal attenuation from splice loss.FreeLight™ EasySplice has been specially designed to deliver consistently good splice performance, ensuring optimum signal integrity and reducing the need for additional equipment such as amplifiers and repeaters to compensate for signal degradation.In long-haul networks spanning thousands of kilometres, even a fractional loss in integrity can substantially increase the financial burden on operators by necessitating the purchase, installation and maintenance of additional costly equipment. With the splice operation representing a major contributing factor in attenuation in all long-distance networks, reducing average splice loss has the power to substantially improve the quality of network throughput while cutting operational overheads.Pirelli’s original FreeLight™ Non Zero Dispersion G.655 terrestrial fibre was already in line with best-in-class performance. Now, with the launch of FreeLight™ EasySplice, the company has seized the market lead by producing a fibre that further reduces splice loss by a factor of at least 20% – a new standard in long-distance fibre performance.Pirelli Cables and Systems
