Specialty fiber evaluation for in-building distribution of multiple-format OFDM radio signals

Optical fiber options for deployment within the home environment were investigated for distribution of triple-play services. Corning ClearCurve® ZBL single-mode bend-insensitive optical fiber permits installation over 200m reach compared to 50m with plastic multi-mode fiber.
