Bend intensive single mode fibers are attractive for fiber to the home (FTTH) applications because they can lower the installation cost and improve the system performance. For in home wiring applications, bend radii in the range of 5 mm are very common [7] and bending losses must be kept minimum. Bending losses of less than 0.1 db/turn will ensure robust network performance under practical bending conditions such as tight 900 corners, corners under the load, excesses cable storage in tightly confined spaces. There are several approaches in designing the fibers with improved bend performance.
