CORNING Vascade® Optical Fibers

nnnn

Customized Solutions for Maximum Performance and Reliability

nnnn

The Corning® Vascade® family of submarine optical fibers provide high-speed, high-capacity solutions for

nnnn

transoceanic and short-haul submarine networks, guaranteeing the performance and reliability necessary in the

nnnn

harsh undersea environment.

nnnn

Submarine systems, from unrepeatered networks spanning a few hundred kilometers to repeatered networks

nnnn

spanning the world's oceans, demand the most advanced optical technologies. Each Vascade fiber type has

nnnn

a unique optical profile to allow customized system solutions, however, they all share the fundamental

nnnn

characteristics inherent to Coming's submarine fibers: high mechanical reliability, high optical stability, and

nnnn

matched and managed optical properties.

nnnn

In addition to individual Vascade fibers, Corning also offers customized Vascade fiber solutions with coloring

nnnn

and splicing options.

nnnn

High Mechanical Reliability

nnnn

Submarine fiber-optic cables experience high tension during deployment and recovery from the ocean floor.

nnnn

With this in mind, every Vascade fiber is subjected to a 1.38 GN/m2 (200 kpsi) proof test, double that of the

nnnn

typical terrestrial fiber. In addition, Corning has dedicated manufacturing lines reserved especially for Vascade

nnnn

fibers. Coming's patented manufacturing process ensures high-quality fibers that offer maximum performance

nnnn

and economic advantage for your network. Vascade fibers are colored and spliced in a clean room environment

nnnn

and receive additional strength testing to ensure the fiber's long-term reliability.

nnnn

Comprehensive Fiber Data

nnnn

Corning Vascade fibers come with an unparalleled wealth of measured data. Coming's state-of-the-art

nnnn

measurement systems allow us to provide comprehensive fiber data packages for every spool of fiber.

nnnn

Coloring Options

nnnn

To meet the unique requirements of each submarine network, all Vascade fibers can be supplied

nnnn

in different colors.
