Corning Cable Systems Introduces Low-loss, Bend-Tolerant Jumpers for Enterprise Applications

Corning Cable Systems LLC, part of Corning Incorporated�s
(NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, introduces its Pretium�
Low-loss OM3 Jumpers with ultra-bend performance. Local area
network (LAN) and data center applications can benefit from the
improved bend tolerance of these new OM3 (high-bandwidth,
laser-optimized) cable assemblies with Corning� ClearCurve�
multimode fiber.
Corning Cable Systems Pretium Low-loss OM3 Jumpers with
ultra-bend performance can greatly reduce outages and degradation
in systems caused by severe bending problems. Even when installers
use best practices, mistakes may occur that result in kinked cables
and cables bent beyond the recommended minimum bend radius found in
today�s typical jumpers.
As network transmission speeds increase, available margins
tighten and become more sensitive to loss associated with a number
of factors including bends. Attenuation loss impacts associated
with inadvertent macro-bending events may be reduced by more than
50 percent when using Pretium Low-loss OM3 Jumpers with ultra-bend
performance in place of traditional 50 �m jumpers. Some severe
bending problems that could typically result in a system outage
become a non-event when the Pretium Low-loss OM3 Jumpers with
ultra-bend performance are deployed in the network.
Enabled by Corning ClearCurve multimode fiber, Pretium Low-loss
OM3 Jumpers with ultra-bend performance are able to accommodate a
minimum bend radius of 8 mm (1.6 mm cable) to 10 mm (2.0 mm cable)
with minimal bend-induced attenuation loss.
Multimode fibers have many modes of light traveling through the
core of the fiber. These modes have a tendency to leak from the
core under tight bending conditions. The resulting additional
signal loss can cause system downtime or reduced network
efficiency. Corning ClearCurve multimode fiber is designed to
confine these modes within the fiber�s core; the result is a
virtually undiminished optical signal and a reduced risk of network
downtime.
Visit the Corning Cable Systems exhibit (booth #115) at the 2009
BICSI Spring Conference & Exhibition May 10-13, in Baltimore
for a demonstration of the optimized bend performance of the
Pretium Low-loss OM3 Jumpers with ultra-bend performance.
