ClearCurve® VSDN optical fiber
	Corning® ClearCurve® VSDN® optical fiber is uniquely designed to support emerging high speed interconnects between computers and other consumer electronics devices. VSDN’s optimized design provides high bend performance, exhibits ultra-low bending loss, features superior mechanical reliability, and is capable of exceeding the bandwidth needs of consumer applications above 10 GB/s over 10's of meters. > More
ClearCurve® multimode optical fiber
	Corning® ClearCurve® multimode fiber delivers the best macrobending performance in the industry – up to 10x better than standard multimode fiber. Designed to withstand tight bends with substantially less signal loss in challenging cabling routes, this unique fiber meets the high bandwidth requirements for today’s enterprise networks. > More
ClearCurve® single-mode optical fiber
	Corning leads the industry in the bend-insensitive single-mode optical fiber category. Our ClearCurve® ZBL, LBL, and XB fibers are designed to meet a wide array of applications and deployment conditions, making it much easier for service providers to bring fiber closer to homes and businesses. > More
SMF-28e+® optical fiber
	Corning® SMF-28e+® optical fiber is the industry leader in comprehensive single-mode fiber performance for metro and access networks, including FTTH and CATV. This standard single-mode fiber is ITU-TG.652.D compliant and fully compatible with legacy single-mode fibers. > More
SMF-28e+® LL optical fiber
	Building on Corning’s low loss fiber technology to enable extended networking distances for long haul, metro, and access applications, Corning® SMF-28e+® LL optical fiber offers industry-leading specifications for attenuation and polarization mode dispersion values. This enhanced single-mode fiber provides a solid foundation for new network deployments and existing network upgrades. > More
SMF-28® Ultra optical fiber
	Corning® SMF-28® Ultra fiber combines the benefits of industry-leading attenuation and improved macrobend performance in a single fiber. Designed for use in long-haul, metro, access, and FTTH networks, Ultra is fully backward compatible with the installed base of legacy fibers. > More
SMF-28® ULL optical fiber
	Corning® SMF-28® ULL fiber has the lowest loss of any terrestrial grade fiber with maximum attenuation available between 0.17 and 0.18 dB/km at 1550 nm and the lowest PMD of any ITU-T G.652 compliant optical fiber. Combined, these features provide spare network margin that can be leveraged to extend network span lengths, skip amplification sites, upgrade to faster bit rates, add network components for improved flexibility, or lengthen the distance between regenerators. > More
LEAF® optical fiber
	The world’s most widely deployed non-zero dispersion shifted fiber, over 30 million kilometers of Corning® LEAF® optical fiber are deployed across six continents. LEAF fiber’s combination of large effective area, low dispersion, and low loss enables improved performance, flexibility, and compatibility with emerging network technologies. > More
Vascade® optical fibers
	Corning’s family of Vascade® optical fibers enable high-speed, high-capacity solutions that provide the performance and reliability required in all undersea networks up to transoceanic distances. These fibers enable cost-effective, advanced submarine transmission systems ranging from short unrepeatered to very long repeated transoceanic links. > More
