Abstract
A less conservative and more accurate prediction of the cabled-fiber cutoff wavelength was achieved by considering cabling-induced curvature effects (macrobend). Maximum cutoff wavelength shifts of 22 nm (depressed) and 50 nm (matched) were observed for common loose tube cable designs. A comparison between the simulated and measured cable cutoff wavelength (FOTP-170) shows good correlation
