Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today unveiled a new single-mode
optical fiber with Corning� ultra-low-loss technology. This fiber
has world-class specifications for low attenuation and low
polarization mode dispersion (PMD), enabling greater system reach
and longer span lengths in long-haul and regional terrestrial
networks. This fiber, fully compatible with the installed base of
single-mode fibers, has the lowest loss of any terrestrial-grade
fiber with maximum attenuation available between 0.17 and 0.18
dB/km at 1550 nm. Additionally, the fiber has the lowest PMD of any
ITU-T G.652 compliant optical fiber featuring a ? 0.04 ps/?km PMDQ
link design specification. Combined, these features provide spare
network margin that can be leveraged to extend network span
lengths, skip amplification sites, upgrade to faster bit rates, add
network components for improved flexibility or lengthen the
distance between regenerators. �Extended fiber reach brings
significant value to our carrier customers and is especially useful
in constructing and planning new networks which must span difficult
terrain,� said Eric Musser, senior vice president and general
manager, Corning Optical Fiber. "With Corning ultra-low-loss fiber
technology, the world�s network operators will have flexible design
options that can result in significant cost savings upon
installation and over the lifetime of the network." Corning is the
first optical fiber manufacturer to offer this unique combination
of ultra-low attenuation levels and low PMD levels in a
G.652-compliant product. This is the second Corning optical fiber
product to be commercialized featuring Corning ultra-low-loss fiber
technology. Corning introduced a submarine product, Vascade� EX1000
fiber, with ultra-low-loss technology in 2006. Corning�s new
terrestrial single-mode fiber with ultra-low-loss technology will
premiere March 27-29 at the OFC/NFOEC 2007 conference in Anaheim,
Calif. For more information on Corning optical fiber, please visit
