Abstract: 50 µm Fiber Q & A. Answers questions and concerns surrounding 50 µm fiber.
A Brief Premises Fiber Selection Guide
Abstract: This guide offers basic information on how to efficiently and effectively manage the fiber-purchasing decision process for premises networks.
Advantages of the Corning Optical Fiber Manufacturing Process
Abstract: Corning uses the outside vapor deposition process to manufacture optical fiber because of its process consistency, superior quality, and greater ability to scale to large volume.
Bit Error Rate (BER) Functionality Testing of Laser-Optimized Multimode Fibre: DMD-mask or minEMBc?
Abstract: The minEMBc (minimum calculated effective modal bandwidth) measurement method is used to certify the laser bandwidth of all Corning 50 micron InfiniCor multimode fibres. Corning has extensively studied minEMBc and other laser bandwidth techniques and has reported the superiority of the minEMBc laser bandwidth technique in several published articles and white papers.
Characterizing Bandwidth Length Uniformity in High Speed Data Communication Multimode Optical Fiber
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the work done by Corning Optical Fiber to ensure that every length of multimode fiber shipped meets bandwidth specifications, and that multimode fiber networks will function as designed 100% of the time.
Comparison of Mechanical Reliability Models for Optical Fibers
Abstract: The design life for optical fiber cables often is in excess of 25 years and it is not practical to conduct experiments to directly assess reliability on such time scales. In order to quantify reliability of the system, it is necessary to perform accelerated experiments in the laboratory and extrapolate these results to less sever in-service conditions.
Corning CPC Protective Coating - An Overview
Abstract: The ability of an optical fiber to perform in the field is determined in no small measure by the quality of the coating that covers it. This paper describes some of the key physical attributes that such a coating will require.
Corning Incorporated’s 40 Gb/s Demonstration at the 2008 Interop New York Exposition White Paper
Abstract: The need for speed. As bandwidth demand continues to increase, the need for higher speeds is also growing and the next generation standards are currently being developed.
Evolution of 50/125 µm Fiber Since the Publication of IEEE 802.3ae (Chinese)
Abstract: Since the publication of IEEE 802.3ae, the "10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) Standard", development work has continued on high-bandwidth 50 micron (µm) multimode optical fibers for enterprise networks.

InfiniCor Fiber Reference Sheet
Abstract: This sheet details product link lengths in common laser-based application standards.
Laser Bandwidth Measurements in Fiber Data Delivery for Corning® InfiniCor® Fibers
Abstract: In January 2006, Corning Optical Fiber announced that measured laser bandwidth values would be provided all Corning® InfiniCor® fibers shipped to strategic customers. Corning has led industry development of laser bandwidth metrics for multimode fiber, and since 1998 has been the only optical fiber manufacturer to specify both the standardized bandwidth measurement procedure and the pass/fail criteria for every laser-optimized™ multimode fiber shipped. With this announcement, Corning Optical Fiber extended their laser bandwidth leadership to become the only manufacturer providing factory measurements to customers in their Fiber Data Delivery (FDD).
