What distinguishes Corning Specialty fiber from standard transmission fiber?
Corning Specialty Fiber differs from standard transmission fiber in that it is not typically used for simple point-to-point transport of optical signals contained in buried cable. Corning Specialty Fiber is more typically deployed in terminals, or used as a raw material of a component or assembly. Specialty fiber and transmission fiber operating conditions also differ greatly. The operating wavelengths, the core and cladding characteristics, and the bend radii in Specialty fiber are designed to facilitate a match to the components or assemblies in which the fiber is used.
