:: Proper Selection of Buffer Tube Fan Out Kit in Fiber Optic Systems This Application note provides information and guidelines for the proper selection and application of Indoor/Outdoor Buffer Tube Fan-Out kits in fiber optic systems. The following topics are examined below: Function of fan-out kits Differences in indoor and outdoor versions Guidelines and importance of selecting the correct kit :: Function of Fan-out Kits Fan-out kits are used in field and factory applications to break out and provide protection for fibers when terminating cables. Although 250um connectors are available, directly terminating 250um fibers is not recommended due to the

1. General 1.1 This procedure describes the recommended installation procedure for Corning Cable Systems Spider Fan-Out Kits (Plus) for non-armored cables containing up to 24 fibers (Figure 1). Fan-Outs permit the branching of fibers contained in an optical cable into individual cables, which can then be connectorized or terminated per system interface requirements. 1.2 Two sizes of Spider Fan-Out kits are available for MIC® cables; one unit accommodates 4 to 12 fibers, a larger unit has a 14 – 24 fiber capacity. The larger Fan-Out body is also used for all loose tube cable applications. Both units are available in

Since the past several years, the fiber optic industry has been rapidly shifting from traditional single-mode fibers to new "Full Spectrum" single-mode fibers meeting the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) G.652D specification. :: Low water peak: standards definition The fiber optic industry has defined and established standards for water-peak performance of optical fiber in the latest single-mode standards, ITU-T G.652D, and IEC B1.3. Since 1310 nm attenuation is the transmission limiting wavelength of low or zero water peak fibers, as shown in the spectral attenuation plot in Figure 1, the standards require that the “water peak” attenuation at 1383 nm (after
