Corning Clearcurve OM3/OM4 Multimode Optical Fibre

Features

Corning ClearCurve Multimode Fibre Delivers up to 10x Better Bend Performance

The existing multimode bend standard is based on a 37.5 mm radius mandrel. There is also a proposed multimode bend standard in IEC that requires testing around a 15 mm radius mandrel. ClearCurve multimode fibre outperforms standard multimode fibre by up to 10x at both of these radii.

After studying enterprise network designs and limitations and talking to experts in the field, it quickly became apparent that there was a need to accommodate tighter bends than what is specified in the current (and proposed) standards. Therefore, much of Corning’s testing to date on ClearCurve multimode fibre has been focused on bend radii between 5 mm and 10 mm. The final specification is still to be determined but the chart below shows the performance of ClearCurve versus standard OM3 multimode fibre for various bend radii.

Benefits

Incredible Innovation. Remarkable Reliability. Corning ClearCurve OM3/OM4 Multimode Fibre ClearCurve multimode fibre maximizes system reliability, minimizes system downtime and provides opportunities for cost reduction. In addition, cablers and system integrators can take advantage of the improved bend in smaller and lighter cable, hardware and equipment designs. These new designs will enable smaller, denser, more “green”, and easier to install data centres and enterprise networks.

Top Needs of Enterprise Network Operators Addressed by ClearCurve®

Multimode Fibre

ClearCurve multimode fibre delivers performance you can count on in an innovative design. Multimode continues to be the fibre of choice for enterprise networks (with typical link lengths up to 600 m) as compared to single-mode fibre. Corning ClearCurve multimode fibre makes the choice even clearer.

Specifications

Performance and Specifications

Corning ClearCurve OM3/OM4 multimode fibre meets all the requirements of the existing OM3 multimode fibre standard as well as the proposed OM4 multimode fibre standard. It is fully backward compatible with standard 50 μm fibres. It also provides additional benefits such as lower attenuation and lower chromatic dispersion as compared to Corning’s existing InfiniCor® SX+ (OM3) and InfiniCor® eSX+ (OM3+/OM4) fibres.
