Corning Optical Communications Optical Fiber SMF-28® ULL

Lowest loss of any terrestrial grade single-mode fiber Corning SMF-28® ULL optical fiber has the lowest loss of any terrestrial grade single-mode fiber with a maximum attenuation of 0.17 dB/km at 1550 nm. SMF-28 ULL fiber has been deployed around the world in some of the most challenging network applications, where ultra-low attenuation can be leveraged to extend network span lengths, skip amplification sites, upgrade to faster bit rates, add network components for improved flexibility, and lengthen the distance between regenerators. Ultra low-loss optical fiber allows network operators to extend optical reach at very high data rates and make networks scalable for higher capacities – important as the demand for bandwidth grows. In concert with advanced optical networking equipment, our latest ultra-low-loss optical fiber technology offers simplicity and reliability for operators. SMF-28 ULL fiber is making it possible for service providers to transmit information across longer distances with less equipment and lower installation, land acquisition, and maintenance costs.
