Products
Corning’s Specialty Fibers are used in a wide range of applications including fibers required for components in the well-established telecom and datacom markets to the fibers required in emerging markets like medical, aerospace and defense, sensing applications and beyond. We can design custom fibers to support entirely new applications where fibers will be an essential component.
Our strategy is to look at fiber — the actual glass core and cladding, and the protective coatings — in terms of a matrix where each or all can be rapidly customized at our customers direction. We can do this in terms of size, optical properties, temperature/environment resistance, bend insensitivity, operating wavelength, etc.
If you don’t see a particular fiber in our catalog that meets your needs, please contact us to discuss your unique requirements.
ClearCurve ultra-bendable, laser-optimized multimode fiber delivers superior macrobending performance and meets the highbandwidth requirements for today’s communications networks. It is designed to withstand tight bends with substantially less signal loss in challenging cabling routes. ClearCurve multimode fiber is fully standards compliant and backward compatible with the installed base.
Corning established the bend-insensitive single-mode fiber category with the introduction of ClearCurve fiber in 2007. We have continued that innovation with ClearCurve ZBL fiber, which offers virtually zero bend loss in most indoor applications
Corning’s SMF-28 Contour fiber portfolio offers exceptional density with improved bend resilience and 9.2-micron mode field diameter for installation efficiency. Low OD and low-loss options are available. These full-spectrum fibers are operational in regional, metro, access, and FTTH applications.
SMF-28e+ fiber is a comprehensive single-mode fiber for metro and access networks, including FTTH and CATV. This standard single-mode fiber is ITU-T G.652.D-compliant and fully compatible with legacy single-mode fibers. SMF-28e+ fiber is built on our solid foundation of quality and proven performance.
SMF-28 Ultra fiber is fully compliant to ITU-T G.652.D as well as ITU-T G.657.A1. This full-spectrum fiber has industry-leading attenuation and improved macrobend performance and is designed for use in metro, access, and FTTH networks. SMF-28 Ultra fiber maintains full backward compatibility with traditional standard single-mode fibers, which means no trade-offs and splice performance that is the same as the installed base of Corning SMF-28e+ fiber.
SMF-28 Ultra 200 fiber is a single-mode fiber, featuring a reducedcoating diameter of 200 µm that provides 100 percent ITU-T G.652.D backward compatibility and optical bending resilience that surpasses the requirements of the ITU-T G.657.A1 industry standard. This 200 µm fiber combines bend, loss, and compatibility in one convenient package.
Corning’s SMF-28 ULL optical fiber portfolio has the lowest-loss terrestrial-grade fibers available in the market – with millions of kilometers deployed worldwide. The newest addition, SMF-28 ULL fiber with advanced bend, is an ITU-T G.654.C-compliant fiber with best-in-class performance specifications. This evolutionary product provides ultra-low loss, with attenuation available down to 0.15 dB/ km at 1550 nm, lower latency, and meets the fiber macrobend loss requirements of the ITU-T G.657.A1 standard.
TXF fiber combines ultra-low-loss and a large effective area to allow reliable, high-data-rate transmission over longer spans – enabling the longest reach of any terrestrial-grade fiber. As a result, long-haul networks with TXF fiber can be designed more efficiently and cost effectively, reducing the need for amplification sites and signal regeneration, which is particularly important in remote territories and challenging terrains
LEAF fiber is the world’s most widely deployed non-zero dispersionshifted fiber. LEAF fiber’s combination of large effective area, low dispersion, and low loss enables improved performance, flexibility, and compatibility with emerging network technologies.
Corning submarine optical fibers, inclusive of SMF-28® ULL S+ fiber, Vascade® EX2000 fiber, and Vascade® EX2500 fiber, provide the performance required in all undersea networks and enable submarine solutions with high-transmission capacity. All fibers in our submarine portfolio share the fundamental characteristics of superior mechanical reliability and industry-leading optical performance. Our manufacturing processes deliver both volume and quality to meet growing industry needs.
Today’s fast-moving global economy requires your business to maximize production efficiency, cut costs, and simplify inventory management. That’s why Corning now offers colored and ringmarked fibers featuring ColorPro® identification technology. By taking the coloring step out of your process, ColorPro identification technology will put time back in your day and space back in your inventory. Ultimately, you’ll get your products to market faster.
