From a performance parameter perspective, Corning fiber's attenuation control is equally impressive.

FTTA patch cords based on this fiber achieve attenuation as low as 0.36 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.22 dB/km at 1550nm, paired with LC UPC connectors delivering insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB. This low-loss characteristic is particularly important in long-distance remote scenarios, effectively extending the unrepeated transmission distance of optical signals.
