Corning Optical Communications Optical Fiber SMF-28® Ultra 200

Industry-leading attenuation, improved macrobend performance, and 9.2 µm mode field diameter, all in one fiber In 2015, we introduced the industry’s first 200-micron fiber which provides low loss, macrobend performance, and a 9.2 micron nominal MFD. SMF-28 Ultra 200 fiber helps solve one of the world’s toughest network challenges – increasing fiber capacity without taking up more space by providing all the benefits of SMF-28 Ultra fiber in a reduced diameter. The newest addition to our SMF-28 Ultra fiber portfolio, SMF-28 Ultra 200 fiber enables the design of smaller, lighter, fully backwards compatible high-fiber, high-density cables. By exceeding the standards requirements of ITU-T G.657.A1 and G.652.D, SMF-28 Ultra 200 fiber ensures full backwards compatibility with other fiber types that satisfy these requirements. With the problem of MFD compatibility eliminated, network operators have the freedom to deploy fiber-rich, 200-micron cables to address capacity and congestion – with the proven performance of SMF-28 Ultra fiber.
