Symbol for impedance.

In single-mode fiber, the chromatic dispersion slope at the fiber

In single-mode fiber, the wavelength where waveguide dispersion cancels out material dispersion and total chromatic dispersion is zero.

In an optical fiber of a given refractive index, the narrow range of wavelengths within which all wavelengths travel at approximately the same speed. The zero-dispersion point is useful in reducing chromatic dispersion in single-mode fiber.

Duplex fiber optic interconnect cable consisting of two tight-buffered fibers with outer jackets bonded together, resembling electrical wiring used in lamps and small appliances.

Zultys is a manufacturer of telephone equipment and the leads are specific to that equipment.
