Corning® ClearCurve® Optical Fiber

Next Generation Optical Fiber with Improved Bend Radius

Corning®'s ClearCurve® Cable is the next generation (OM3+/OM4) of Optical Fiber with the best macrobending performance available in the industry. The ClearCurve® fiber delivers improved bending without sacrificing critical bandwidth capabilty or requiring any adjustments to standard field installations.

Basic Features of ClearCurve® Glass Fibers

• World's First Laser-Optimized Multimode Fiber at Bend Radii Below 10mm
• Withstands Tight Bends and Challenging Cabling Routes with Substantially Less Signal Loss Than Traditional Multimode Fiber Optic Cables
• Full Spectrum Singlemode Optical Fiber Experiences Virtually No Signal Loss, when Subjected to Smaller Radii Bends
• Lower Attenuation
• Lower Chromatic Dispersion
• Exceeds Bend Performance Requirements of ITU-T Recommendations G.657.A, G.657.B and G.652.D and the Installed Base of Corning® SMF-28e and SMF-28e+ Fiber

"We hope enterprise data center customers appreciate the new Corning® ClearCurve® optical fiber. Due to its revolutionary design, it allows the cable to be bent and wrapped tighter than ever before possible. With attenuation budgets shrinking with higher speed applications, a 10 to 20% improvement in loss performance can make the difference between a link working or not", explained Joseph Iamartino, the Director of New Business Development at Hitachi Cable Manchester.
