Corning^® ClearCurve^® optical fiber

Corning^® ClearCurve^® optical fiber is the industry leader in macrobend performance and is compatible with current optical fibers, equipment, practices and procedures. ClearCurve fiber better maintains attenuation during smaller radii bends than legacy fiber products. This fiber meets and exceeds the bend performance in ITU-T G.657 Tables A and B while remaining fully compatible with ITU-T G.652.D and the installed base. This unique fiber design allows network planners to design optical fiber into much more challenging installations and environments.
