Manchester, NH April, 2009 - Hitachi Cable Manchester (HCM), a leading manufacturer of copper and fiber optic cables, announced today that it will accept orders for fiber optic cable built with the newly released Corning® multimode OM3 / OM4 ClearCurve® optical fiber, providing its customers with fiber optic cables that can withstand tighter bends, twists and turns than any other traditional fiber optic cable.
"We hope enterprise data center customers appreciate the new Corning® Clear Curve® 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.
Now Hitachi can provide customers with a bend-tolerant fiber optic cable that can withstand rugged installation conditions and still deliver high-speed connectivity for all their applications. With a 4X to 5X advantage over conventional multimode glass in bend performance, Corning® ClearCurve® cabling solution provides, the company can satisfy those requirements.
Currently, Hitachi offers four fiber optic glass options. Depending upon distance and speed requirements, customers can select among the following fiber: OM1, OM2, or OM3, which are suited for short distances under 300 meters and range from slow to fast signal strengths; and OS1 which provides for both high speed and long distances up to 1-50 Kms. Given the release of this OS1, OM3 and OM4, new Corning® Clear Curve® glass, available in both single-mode and multi-mode optical fiber, Hitachi can now provide customers with a new cabling solution to deliver longer distances with lower losses. We want our customers to consider Hitachi the resource for a Corning® Clear Curve® fiber optic solution for their next cable design,” adds Iamartino.
