Introduction
Corning® LEAF® Optical Fiber is a leading solution for long-haul telecommunications networks, offering high-capacity and advanced technology since 1998. It is the first large effective area, non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) and is optimized for long-haul and high-data-rate metro networks.

Specifications
LEAF fiber complies with stringent industry standards such as ITU-T G.655, IEC 60793-2-50 Type B4, TIA/EIA 492-EA00, and Telcordia’s GR-20. It features low-water-peak attenuation, moderate dispersion, and large effective area, making it suitable for 10 Gb/s, Raman, and 40 Gb/s networks.

Technological Advantages
LEAF fiber offers a higher stimulated Brillioun scattering (SBS) threshold, allowing for higher optical powers in analog video transmission. Its low chromatic dispersion in the C-band reduces signal distortions, supporting longer distances and improved signal quality.

Next-Generation Solutions
Corning continues to innovate with LEAF fiber, ensuring consistent performance, excellent splicing, and longer uncompensated reach capabilities. The fiber is backed by Corning’s reputation for reliability and innovation.

Service and Product Advantages
Corning provides comprehensive customer service, including worldwide sales support, technical expertise, and extensive fiber delivery capabilities. The dual acrylate CPC® coatings offer excellent protection and are optimized for various cable designs.
