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.

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.

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.
