Corning Long-Haul Optical Fibers Enable Extended Reach in 40G and 100G Networks

Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) will demonstrate the robust
performance and extended reach capability of its long-haul optical
fiber products in 40 gigabits per second (G) and 100G network
systems with Ciena Corporation at OFC/NFOEC, March 22-25 in San
Diego. Extended reach and the ability to construct longer spans
enables high-capacity transmission over long distances without
expensive regeneration. This thereby reduces capital expenses and
simplifies the construction and deployment of high-data-rate
terrestrial networks.
The 100G system travels a distance of 1,500 kilometers (km) and
consists of 12 spans, each 125 km. The configuration is possible
using Corning’s SMF-28® ULL optical fiber, the lowest attenuation
ITU-T G.652-compliant fiber, and Ciena’s 100G Adaptive Optical
Engine, both of which are commercially available today. The average
fiber attenuation of each span is at or below 0.17 decibels of loss
per kilometer (dB/km) at 1550 nanometers (nm). The ultra-low
attenuation of SMF-28 ULL fiber enables 30-35 percent longer system
reach compared to typical single-mode fibers.
“We are delighted to work with Ciena to show a 100G solution
with commercially available products,” said Martin J. Curran,
senior vice president and general manager, Corning Optical Fiber.
“We continue to improve our long-haul optical fiber products so
they deliver the robust performance our customers require today and
in the future. Low-loss optical fiber allows network operators to
extend optical reach at very high data rates and make their network
scalable for the higher capacities that will be required to meet
growing bandwidth demand.”
The companies will also demonstrate Ciena’s newly developed 40G
ultra long haul solution over an unregenerated distance of 3,100 km
using Corning long-haul optical fibers. Ciena’s 40G signal will be
transmitted through 1,600 km of Corning’s LEAF® fiber and 1,500 km
of SMF-28 ULL fiber, in a configuration representative of some of
the most challenging long-distance network designs.
Finally, the companies will also demonstrate 100G performance
over 800 km of Corning LEAF fiber, the most widely deployed
non-zero dispersion shifted fiber. LEAF fiber has the lowest
attenuation and largest effective area of any ITU-T
G.655-compatible optical fiber, enabling 20-25 percent greater
system reach compared to typical G.655 fiber. The average LEAF
fiber attenuation of each span is at or below 0.190 dB/km at 1,550
nm.
