Corning Introduces New SMF-28® Ultra Optical Fiber
18 Marzo 2013 - 9:30PM
First to combine improved attenuation and bend performance
in one single-mode fiber
CORNING, N.Y., March 18,
2013 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today
announced its latest single-mode optical fiber innovation,
Corning®
SMF-28® Ultra fiber.
This new, premium single-mode optical fiber is the first in the
market to combine the benefits of industry-leading attenuation and
improved macrobend performance in one fiber.
Designed for high performance across the range of
long-haul, metro, access, and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network
applications, this new optical fiber is fully backward compatible
with the installed base of legacy single-mode optical fibers.
"SMF-28 Ultra fiber changes the game when it comes
to choosing the right single-mode fiber for your network.
Previously, network operators had to choose whether to improve the
attenuation or macrobend performance but now they can have both,"
said Barry Linchuck, division vice president and director,
Worldwide Marketing, Corning Optical Fiber. "This unique
combination is made possible through revolutionary process
innovations developed by Corning that deliver lower attenuation and
improved macrobend performance with no design trade-offs."
The improved attenuation of SMF-28 Ultra fiber
provides additional margin that can be used to extend spans,
lengthen the distance between regenerators, increase the allowable
number of cable-cuts, or allow for the broader use of
pre-connectorized solutions.
The improved macrobend performance provides
greater margins for bends that regularly occur in the field during
installation and maintenance, and allows for the design and
deployment of smaller and lighter cables which can improve duct
utilization, enable smaller enclosures, or reduce pole/tower
loading in aerial deployments. The macrobend performance is
delivered with a 9.2 µm mode-field diameter, which is equivalent to
the majority of standard single-mode fibers on the market today and
allows for seamless integration into existing networks.
As the inventor of the first low-loss optical
fiber more than 40 years ago, Corning's demonstrated leadership in
optical fiber innovation is unparalleled. As is the case with
Corning's entire family of SMF-28® fiber
products, this new single-mode optical fiber is built on Corning's
solid foundation of quality and proven long-term performance.
Corning will unveil and demonstrate the
performance of its new SMF-28 Ultra optical fiber March 19 - 21, at
the OFC/NFOC conference in Anaheim, Calif. Visit
