CommScope® TeraSPEED - a Zero Water Peak Singlemode (ZWP-SM) Fiber, designed to cost-effectively future-proof enterprise campus and metro backbones for next generation equipment.

	TeraSPEED ZWP-SM fiber is designed to operate over the entire wavelength range from 1280nm to 1625 nm - removing the water peaks (high attenuation) in the 1400 nm window -increasing the useable wavelength range over conventional singlemode fiber by more than 50%.
	TeraSPEED delivers a cost-effective upgrade path allowing up to 16 channels of CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing), the lowest-cost option to pack more channels on a single fiber, and up to 400 channels of DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing).
	With bandwidth requirements continuing to grow at exponential rates, the TeraSPEED Solution is ready to support enterprise campus and metro backbone migrations to higher speeds and multiple wavelengths.
	In addition, this full spectrum fiber provides customers with future proofing options: if optical electronics move to higher serial speeds or shift to an increased number of wavelengths, TeraSPEED provides complete support for both. TeraSPEED fibrer cables are ITU-T G.652.C compliant and support legacy transport equipment and applications.

The TeraSPEED ZWP-SM Solution follows the success of the CommScope LazrSPEED^® Solution, that overcame the limitations of conventional multimode fiber to offer guaranteed support for the lowest-cost 10 Gb/s option up to 300m for the enterprise building backbones. By overcoming the limitations of conventional singlemode fiber, the TeraSPEED ZWP-SM fiber Solution once again demonstrates that CommScope is committed to delivering optimal media solutions for lowest-cost future-proofing.

Laser-optimized multimode fiber optics provide an ideal pathway for photon travel. The additional bandwidth and geometry of these fibers eliminates the need for expensive, high-precision lasers, combiners, splitters, and filters. LazrSPEED fibers can transmit at 10 Gb/s using only a single VCSEL (vertical cavity surface-emitting laser) transceiver. The result has been shown to reduce total cost of ownership up to 30 ? 40 percent over conventional CWDM (coarse wavelength division multiplexing) systems requiring more elaborate opto-electronics.

To further reduce total cost of ownership, the LazrSPEED Solution is backward compatible with legacy LAN applications. Its standards compliant 50-micron core diameter allows you to continue running your existing Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, SONET, and Token Ring applications. LazrSPEED fiber also enables dual speed 1 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s ports, which allows disruption-free upgrading of your Ethernet networks to the new higher-speed 10 Gb/s standards.
