Corning® is quite possibly the most well-known optical fiber manufacturer in the world, having developed the first low-loss optical fiber in 1970. Since that time, they have continued to be an innovation leader in the area of optical fiber technology, offering a wide range of fibers for communications and other specialty applications. As of late 2015, more than 2 billion kilometers of Corning® optical fiber has been deployed throughout the world, due to the high quality and performance their fibers provide.
For communications and networking applications, Corning® offers a complete portfolio of both standard and specialty optical fibers, that meet and often exceed applicable industry standards.
