Corning® ClearCurve® VSDN® Optical Fiber Product Information Corning® ClearCurve® VSDN® optical fiber, a new alternative to plastic fiber, is uniquely designed for 850 nm VCSEL-based short distance network applications such as Active Optical Cables or those utilized in the consumer electronics industry for within-device and/or device-device data transfer. In this application space, ClearCurve VSDN fiber is designed to address the following requirements: • igher bend performances, exhibiting both ultra-low bending loss and superior H mechanical reliability to survive the “cable pinch test” • nables inexpensive connectivity solutions by allowing relaxed alignment tolerances E through a 80 µm core size and a high numerical aperture (0.29) • aintains high bandwidth at large alignment tolerances (DMD verified at 850 nm), M capable of exceeding bandwidth needs of consumer applications above 10 Gb/s over 10s of meters With its incredibly tough, bend-intensive design, ClearCurve VSDN fiber brings fiber-fast speeds to the consumer device market. It’s time to change the way you think about glass. Unlock the future of ultra-fast device connectivity with ClearCurve VSDN fiber.
