Corning® ClearCurve® Multimode Optical Fiber Product Information Bend Performance and Compatibility Corning® ClearCurve® ultra-bendable laser–optimized™ multimode optical fiber delivers the best macrobending performance in the industry while maintaining compatibility with current optical fibers, equipment, practices and procedures. ClearCurve OM2, OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber is designed to withstand tight bends and challenging cabling routes with substantially less signal loss than conventional multimode fiber. This new multimode optical fiber allows designers, installers and operators of enterprise networks (including local area networks, data centers and industrial networks) to use multimode optical fiber in a package that is easier to handle and install. With greater signal protection when subjected to tight bending, ClearCurve offers greater system security and reliability meaning maximized network up-time and lower associated maintenance costs. Building on the proven bandwidth capability of Corning’s InfiniCor® fibers, the world’s first laser-optimized™ multimode fibers, ClearCurve multimode fibers increase your capacity to succeed: • Industry leading macrobending performance below 10 mm radius • High performance minEMBc certified bandwidth to support 850 nm transmission at data rates up to 100 Gb/s • Higher data aggregation in the backbone, riser and high-speed parallel interconnects (HSPIs) • Fully backwards-compatible and ideally suited to current and future broad range of laser-based protocols and applications • Superior measurement technology and manufacturing control • Industry-leading CPC® coatings for superior microbend and environmental performance PI1468 | ISSUED: JANUARY 2011 | SUPERSEDES: DECEMBER 2010 | TL9000/ISO 9001 REGISTERED ClearCurve® OM4 fiber ClearCurve® OM3 fiber ClearCurve® OM2 fiber Optimized Data Rate over Distance 40/100 Gb/s over 170 m* 10 Gb/s over 550 m 1 Gb/s over 1100 m 40/100 Gb/s over 140 m* 10 Gb/s over 300 m 1 Gb/s over 1000 m Not included in the standard 10 Gb/s over 150 m 1 Gb/s over 750 m Standards Compliance ISO/IEC 11801 type OM4 fiber type OM3 fiber type OM2 fiber IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3 fiber type A1a.2 fiber type A1a.1 fiber TIA/EIA 492AAAD 492AAAC-B 492AAAB-A ITU ITU G651.1 ITU G651.1 ITU G651.1 * Distances specified in the 40G/100G per IEEE 802.3ba standard are 150m on OM4 and 100m on OM3; Corning fibers are manufactured to tighter dispersion specifications and thereby support the extended distances shown in the table (assuming cable attenuation 3.0 dB/km and same 1.0 dB of connector loss for OM3 that the standard requires for OM4).
