Building on a Solid Foundation

Corning SMF-28e ?ber has the same reliability, splicing performance and easily strippable coating that customers have trusted in Corning ?SMF-28??ber, the long-standing industry benchmark for quality and performance. SMF-28e ?ber offers enhanced capabilities and speci?cations, while providing full compati-bility and interoperability with legacy standard single-mode networks.

Our 30 years of experience are reflected in this evolution of standard single-mode ?ber, which not only meets and exceeds the highest industry standards, but also provides an excellent combination of optical,environmental, dimensional and mechanical speci?cations.

Con?dence for Today and the Future

SMF-28e fiber is optimized for metropolitan and access networks that support all broadband applica-tions. SMF-28e ?ber has been a quali?ed product offering since 2001 and has been successfully deployed in communications networks worldwide, proving its performance capabilities in diverse applications.

As the ideal ?ber choice for rapidly growing and dynamically changing metropolitan and access networks, SMF-28e ?ber provides immediate value to the customer. It is one of the easiest ?bers to handle and install because of its world-class geometry, CPC ?coating technology and bending speci-fications. Additionally, its full-spectrum capability enables flexible network designs, increases ?ber capacity and prepares network infrastructures for emerging technologies and architectures.

(m = 20, Q = 0.01%), September 2001.

The PMD link design value is a term used to describe the PMD of concatenated lengths of ?ber (also known as PMD Q ). This value repre-sents a statistical upper limit for total link PMD. Individual PMD val-ues may change when fiber is cabled. Corning’s ?ber speci?cation sup-ports network design requirements for a 0.20 ps/√km maximum PMD.
