Abstract
The letter is concerned with length dependence of the transmission characteristics of a low-loss silicone-clad silica fibre (up to 5 km). It is observed that a quasi-steady-state condition (fibre characteristics independent of launching conditions) is obtained at 100 m long before true equilibrium (bandwidth proportional to L¿1/2) attained at 2.5 km.
