Contour optical fiber is Corning’s platform for density, combining a 190 µm outer diameter with superior bend resilience to enable smaller, lighter, more sustainable optical solutions. This high performance, wide spectrum fiber delivers on all the features needed to increase network efficiency for today and tomorrow, with attenuation, bend, and mode field diameter selections available to meet specific requirements.
Contour fiber is ideal for challenging conditions in hyperscale data centers and can also be used in enterprise networks and fiber-to-the-home, providing bend-protected connectivity in tight spaces. Contour fiber is compliant with Recommendation ITU-T G.652 and G.657.A1 and aligns with G.657.A2 at 7.5 mm and 10 mm bend radii; full G.657.A2 compliance is optionally available.
