The ultimately flexible fiber.

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.
