Corning's ClearCurve™ solution based on a revolutionary
nanoStructures™ fiber design finally allows installers and contractors to
bend cabled fiber around tight corners with virtually no signal loss. Given the
average apartment installation involves twelve 90° bends, Corning has clearly
introduced a landmark advancement for FTTH.
Microscopic development, massive breakthrough
There is no doubt that nanotechnology has changed the world we
live in. The telecommunications industry is now the latest to benefit from
innovation in this field. Corning scientists perfected nanoStructures™
technology, a way to optimize fiber design to prevent signal loss in tight
bends. Essentially, a mesh of nanometer-scale pockets are infused into the
cladding that surrounds the fiber and serve as a barrier to guide light back
into the core, even when the cable is bent at a 90-degree angle.
Bendable Makes News
Corning's nanoStructures™ fiber design was recently featured
in Fortune magazine and on CNBC TV.
