G.657 (Optical Fibers)

G.657 is a technical standard for specialized optical fibers used in telecommunications. These fibers are designed to allow for closer splicing and installation in tight spaces without compromising performance. They’re more flexible around bends and have lower loss when bent sharply, making them ideal for urban environments, inside buildings, or underground setups where space is limited. G.657 fibers help improve the reliability and capacity of fiber optic networks, enabling high-speed data transfer with minimal signal degradation, and are crucial for expanding modern internet and communication infrastructure efficiently.
