Abstract
Dispersion is an important factor in determining the maximum obtainable bit rate*distance product. In installed fibers, thanks to chromatic dispersion management, it seems that polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) will be the main limiting factor, especially in the upgrade scenario from 2.5 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s.
