This deformation causes light to leak from the core into the cladding, leading to attenuation. Many solutions for 100 Gbit/s Ethernet have proposed to use CWDM to carry the multiple lanes over separate wavelengths on a single fibre. Macrobending refers to signal loss from visible fiber bends with radii a few millimeters and larger. Microbending is less well known and results from microscopic pressure points or distortions, often invisible, yet capable of scattering light and degrading signal quality. As the radius of curvature decreases, transmission loss increases exponentially until at a certain critical radius o curvature when the loss becomes observable.
