Corning Announces Multimode Version of ClearCurve® Optical Fiber
13 Janeiro 2009 - 11:30AM
Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced a new
ClearCurve� ultra-bendable multimode optical fiber for use in data
centers and enterprise networks. Corning ClearCurve multimode fiber
is the world�s first laser-optimized multimode fiber to withstand
tight bends at or below 10 mm radius with substantially less signal
loss than traditional multimode fiber. This new fiber allows
designers, installers and operators of enterprise networks --
including local area networks, data centers and industrial networks
-- to deploy optical fiber in more places by delivering all of the
bandwidth benefits of optical fiber in a package that is easier to
handle and install than copper.
Traditionally, when an optical cable experiences very tight
bends, as is common in constrained enterprise network spaces like
telecommunications closets and data center racks, it can result in
signal loss and costly down time. ClearCurve multimode fiber�s
improved bend performance minimizes signal loss and enables faster
and more efficient optical cable pathways, routing and
installation.
ClearCurve 50-micron multimode fiber meets or exceeds the OM3
industry standard for high-bandwidth, laser-optimized multimode
fibers, as well as the proposed OM4 standard. Laser-optimized
multimode fibers are the fibers of choice for bandwidth-intensive
companies such as financial institutions, hospitals, high-tech
manufacturing firms and universities.
�Multimode optical fiber is the most cost-effective,
future-proof solution for enterprise networks,� said Martin J.
Curran, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Optical
Fiber. �With Corning ClearCurve multimode fiber, our customers can
maintain the benefits of multimode fiber while maximizing system
reliability, minimizing downtime, and realizing overall space
savings and reduced cost.�
Multimode optical fiber has many modes of light traveling
through the fiber. The outer mode groups are particularly sensitive
to bend. Corning�s new multimode optical fiber is designed to
confine these outer mode groups to the fiber core and maintain the
integrity of the optical signal.
ClearCurve OM3 multimode optical fiber is the latest optical
fiber innovation from Corning, which invented the first low-loss
optical fiber nearly 40 years ago. Since then, Corning has
revolutionized telecommunications by developing fiber innovations
such as the first dispersion-shifted fibers, large effective area
fibers, and ultra-low-loss fiber for long-haul and high-data rate
transmission; the first laser-optimized multimode fibers for
enterprise networks; and the first G.652.D compatible SBS-enhanced
fibers and bend-insensitive single-mode fibers for access and
broadband applications.
ClearCurve multimode fiber is the newest member of the Corning
ClearCurve fiber family. In 2007, Corning introduced its
award-winning ClearCurve single-mode fiber which solved the
technical and physical challenges faced by telecommunications
carriers installing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks, particularly
in multi-dwelling units. Now, with ClearCurve multimode fiber,
Corning takes the benefits of bend-insensitive optical fiber into
data centers and enterprise networks, which face similar space
constraints and installation challenges.
Corning will unveil and demonstrate the performance of its new
multimode optical fiber Jan. 18-21, 2009, at the Winter BICSI
Conference in Orlando, Fla. Visit www.corning.com/clearcurve for
