Abstract
An optical fiber cable for bi-directional communication of optical signals is disclosed. The optical fiber cable has a primary multimode optical fiber with an alpha value of α and is concatenated to a compensating fiber with an alpha value α, wherein 1.2≤(α'−α)≤−0.1. The optical fiber cable has a reach between 50 m and 800 m. Modules that employ a plurality of concatenated primary and compensating optical fibers are also disclosed. A bi-directional optical fiber communications system that operates at two different wavelengths is also disclosed.
