Corning® LEAF® optical fiber

Products fiber spray

A backbone by LEAF® fiber provides network capacity and flexibility enabling future growth and compatibility with emerging network technologies. With its moderate dispersion and large effective area, LEAF fiber continues to be the fiber of choice for today’s high-data-rate and tomorrow’s all-optical long-haul and metropolitan networks.
