Bending insensitive single-mode optical fiber (G.657.A2) bears the entire characteristics of dispersion-unshifted single-mode optical fiber and superior bending performance. It is applicable to transmission over the entire wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1625 nm. Under long-wavelength bending conditions, the bending radius can be as small as 7.5 mm with induced attenuation as low as 1 dB at 1625 nm.
