Corning’s bend-insensitive “ClearCurve” optical fiber technology increases info center deployment speed by almost 35 p.c, according to the organization’s statement this week. ClearCurve noticeably reduces the impact of tight bends on networks due to challenging installations, fibers caught in cupboard doors or wire ties that are pulled too tight.
Through our new information center solution, we took the chance to mix our experience in wire, hardware and apparatus with our inventive ClearCurve bend-insensitive fiber to form an offering that maximises the advantages of a fiber solution, while also making new advantages in the areas of reduced installation time, improved info center layout and overall reliability,” Corning president and general manager Clark Kinlin announced in a press release. In a video demonstration, the new ClearCurve is firmly wound and knotted, showing minimal information interruption compared against a standard, 50-micron OM3 fiber.
ClearCurve comes in 2 varieties, a single-mode optical fiber and an OM3 / OM4 multi-mode fiber. The single-mode fiber is masses of times more bendable than standard single-mode fiber. Perfect for information centers and co. networks, the ClearCurve OM3 / OM4 multi-mode fiber is the first laser-optimized multi-mode fiber to bear tight bends at or below ten mm radius with significantly less signal loss than standard multi-mode fiber.
As information technology operatives continue to control their way thru info center projects and upgrades in today’s troublesome industrial environment, the new Corning solution is going to enable them to capture the functionality and potency advantages of optical fiber over unshielded twisted-pair copper wiring,” Kinlin announced.
ClearCurve will be showcased the week after next at the BICSI EU Meeting & Exhibition in Dublin, the DatacenterDynamics Meeting & Expo in Madrid, and the 2009 LANline Tech Forum, “Cabling, Network and Info Centre Infrastructure,” in Zurich.
