Vascade® Optical Fibers

Corning^® Vascade^® optical fibers provide the performance and reliability required in all undersea networks, up to transoceanic distances, enabling high-speed and high-capacity submarine solutions. Vascade fibers all share the fundamental characteristics of superior mechanical reliability and outstanding optical performance. When required, optical fiber coloring and high precision splicing occur in a clean room environment. 

Vascade EX3000 fiber is an ultra-low loss and very large area-effective silica core fiber optimized for high-bit-rate repeatered submarine systems; ITU-T Recommendation G.654.D compliant. 

Vascade EX2000 fiber is an ultra-low loss and large area-effective silica core fiber optimized for most submarine systems, including linear SDM systems; ITU-T Recommendation G.654.B and G.654.D compliant. It is now available in a smaller 200-micron nominal coating diameter.

Vascade fibers can be purchased natural or colored. Corning fibers with ColorPro™ identification technology, our coloring solution, enable cable manufacturers to reduce cost, minimize footprint, and leverage an enhanced product offering. Find more information about Corning ColorPro Identification Technology.

Corning Incorporated today announced a series of smaller, denser additions to its portfolio of long-haul fiber and cable innovations, including the world’s first submarine and terrestrial long-haul fibers in a 200-micron diameter.
