Description: Dispersion Compensating Fiber

The DCF38 dispersion compensating fiber has a dispersion between -49 and -30 ps/nm*km at 1550 nm to match and compensate Corning L1000 or SMF-28e+ fiber. It has a low dispersion slope and polarization mode dispersion. The fiber has a mode field diameter between 5.72 and 6.30 μm and attenuation below 0.265 dB/km to provide high optical stability and performance across the telecom spectrum.
