Challenges in 5G Fronthaul: Signal Degradation and Dense Routing

The rapid deployment of 5G networks has brought about significant advancements in wireless communication, but it also presents new challenges, particularly in the fronthaul segment. One of the most critical issues is signal degradation, which can severely impact the performance and reliability of 5G networks. This degradation is often exacerbated by the need for dense routing in compact base stations, where space is at a premium.

Identifying the Root Cause: Poor Bending Performance and High Losses

Signal degradation in 5G fronthaul is primarily caused by poor bending performance and high losses in traditional fiber cables. When fibers are bent too tightly, they can experience macrobend losses, leading to a significant drop in signal strength. This is especially problematic in compact base stations where fibers must be routed through tight spaces and around corners. Additionally, the high density of connections in these environments increases the likelihood of mechanical stress on the fibers, further contributing to signal loss.

Addressing 5G Fronthaul Challenges with G.657.A2 Fiber Cables
