The global requirement for
communication and information
increases by the day. Data traffic
is growing at an explosive rate.
Transmission speeds need to
increase in line with these trends.
This calls for high performance
transmission media.The response
has been the adoption world-
wide of fiber-optic (FO) cables. These are classed according to application
as indoor, universal and outdoor cables. The latter can be further differenti-
ated into direct-burial and duct cables, aerial cables, sea and submarine
cables and also special-purpose cables.
If you need optical cables for direct burial in the ground or for placement
in cable ducts, the answer to the growing data transfer requirement is
FiberWay from Corning. For whatever applications you are planning, the
comprehensive FiberWay product range offers future-proof and flexible
solutions for high performance optical networks.

Depending on the require-
ments, we specify either standard
single-mode fibers (SSMF) conform-
ing to ITU-T G.652 or non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers (NZ-DSF) confirming
to ITU-T G.655.
Corning®SMF-28™ FiberProven Performance,Worldwide
The Standard for Performance
Corning® SMF-28™ single-mode fiber has set the standard for value
and performance in optical networks worldwide. Tried and tested around
the globe, it is widely deployed in telephony, cable television, and utility
networks for the transmission of voice, data, and video services.
Corning believes that SMF-28 fiber provides the best overall package
of optical, mechanical, and geometrical performance available today. Taking
advantage of today’s high capacity, low-cost transmission components
developed for the 1310 nm window, SMF-28 fiber features low dispersion
and is optimized for use in the 1310 nm wavelength region. SMF-28 fiber
also can be used effectively with TDM and WDM systems operating in the
1550 nm wavelength region.

Protection and Versatility
The mechanical and chemical properties of CPC 6 coating offer
a high degree of protection to SMF-28 fiber. Even under extreme environ-
mental conditions, neither the coating nor the glass is adversely affected
by the filling compound, water or temperature. The dual- layer UV cured
acrylic coating ensures outstanding strippability and a particularly low
sensitivity to microbending. The extremely precise application of CPC 6
coating (245 ± 5 mm) ensures that SMF-28 fiber exhibits uniform optical
characteristics during fiber coloring and fiber ribbon production processes.
Features and Benefits of SMF-28
• Is the most widely deployed fiber in the world
• Provides versatility in 1310 nm and 1550 nm applications
• Produces exceptional product consistency and reliability through OVD
manufacturing process
• Offers the industry’s best geometrical properties for low splice loss and
high splice yields

LEAF Optical Fiber
For Multi-Window Application
LEAF (Large Effective Area Fiber) fiber represents the latest gener-
ation of non-zero dispersion-shifted (NZ-DSF) optical fiber, outperforming
conventional NZ-DSF designs. Its low dispersion in the 1530 – 1565 nm
range makes this optical fiber ideal for transmission in high bit-rate WDM
applications over long distances requiring only a minimal amount of exter-
nal dispersion compensation.
The Large Effective Area Advantage
LEAF fiber’s large effective area design reduces the light intensity
which leads to non-linear distortion of signals in WDM transmission. These
non-linear effects include four wave mixing, self phase modulation and
cross phase modulation. LEAF fibre combines low attenuation and low
dispersion with an effective area typically 32 % larger than conventional
non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber.This allows more power to be pumped into
networks and greater distances to be spanned between regeneration sites.
Reduce Network Costs
In addition to outstanding performance, LEAF fiber also can provide
cost savings over the lifetime of a network. Systems using LEAF fiber
require fewer amplifiers and compensators than systems upgraded using
standard single-mode fiber. System upgrades can be accomplished effi-
ciently by adding wavelength channels as the data handling capacity of the
system increases.
Quality – Proven Millions of Times
LEAF fiber is manufactured using the OVD process, responsible for
greater volumes of fibre production than any other process.
Because LEAF fiber is specified beyond the requirements of inter-
national standards, better splicing is possible with lower splice loss and
higher splice yields.The CPC 6 coating provides excellent protection against
extreme environmental conditions.
F i b e r W a y - c a t a l o g e d i t i o n 1
15
The Next Generation
LEAF fiber can also be used in the 1565 – 1625 nm range (L-Band),
which will become ever more important in the future. In both C-Band (1530 –
1565 nm) and L-Band operation, LEAF fiber demonstrates superior trans-
mission performance over conventional NZ-DS fibres through its ability to
suppress non-linear distortions.
MetroCor Fiber
A dispersion shifted, single-mode fiber from Corning Incorpo-
rated optimized for high-speed metropolitan networks.
We use MetroCor fiber from Corning, the world’s largest manu-
facturer of optical fibers, for high-speed DWDM metropolitan networks. Its
dispersion-optimized design allows cost-effective transmission at speeds of
2.5 Gbps to 10 Gbps. This G.655 compliant, single-mode, negative disper-
sion fiber operates across the entire usable bandwidth from 1280 –1625 nm.
It is compatible with existing single-mode fibers making it ideal for trans-
mission in high-speed DWDM metro ring architectures where increased
optical path lengths can exceed the dispersion limit of standard single-
mode fiber. It allows you to reach distances in excess of 350 km using less
expensive lasers, without incurring the cost of dispersion compensation or
regeneration.
Impressive cost savings makes the difference.
MetroCor fiber offers impressive cost savings derived from the
ability to eliminate the optical to electrical to optical (O-E-O) conversions
required to overcome the dispersion limitation in standard single-mode
fiber DWDM networks. The fiber carries an optical signal longer distances,
using low-cost lasers without the need for dispersion compensation, which
reduces the amount of amplification equipment along the network path
thereby reducing costs of installing and maintaining the metro network.

A break in a fiber optic
cable network can result in sub-
stantial costs for the operator. To
avoid this, cables must meet high
mechanical requirements and be
resistant to environmental factors
such as extreme temperatures.
For this reason, our FiberWay duct
and buried fiber optic cables are designed to be especially robust.When the
appropriate cable is selected and it is installed correctly, the cable will retain
its optimal characteristics even when pulled into ducts or buried directly.
Fiber identification: UV coloring
All the optical fibers are colored with UV-cured acrylate color. This
is a state of art coloring that guarantees a uniformly smooth surface. For
identification of fibers in one tube a scheme of twelve colors is used:
1: blue 7: red
2: orange 8: black
3: green 9: yellow
4: brown 10: violet
5: gray 11: pink
6: white 12: turquoise
If there are more than 12 fibers in a tube, we use a fiber bundle tech-
nique, in which 12 fibers are held together with a colored binding yarn.
We can also offer cables with fiber ribbons. A special coating is used
to combine up to 24 fibers to form a fiber ribbon.
Tube identification:
The standard system for tube identification in stranded loose tube
cables is the “pilot-directional” one.The pilot tube is red, the directional one
green and all other tubes are natural colored. Other tube identification systems
according to prevailing national standards may be obtained on request.

Cable design: meeting every requirement
We distinguish three basic design types:
• Stranded tube cables: cables with stranded loose buffer tubes
around a central metallic or non-metallic (dielectric) strength member
• Central tube cables: cables with a central loose buffer tube and
strength elements partly embedded into the sheath
• Slotted core cables: cables which have a central member with
longitudinal slots within which the fibers are positioned
In each case, the optical fibers which lie in the loose tubes or slots,
are not under any tension.
High degree of water protection
Should water penetrate through a damaged point in the sheath, spe-
cial fillings prevent the water from migrating along the cable. This is
achieved by the use of a gel-type filling compound, or alternatively by
a dry swellable element. The advantage of this so-called “dry” cable is its
greater ease of installation. For additional protection against moisture, we
can offer cables with a laminated aluminum sheath.
Outer protection
Here we use an outer jacket of polyethylene (PE) which is resistant
to stress cracking and UV radiation. Where there are special requirements
in buildings, with respect to flame retardants and halogens, we use our spe-
cially-developed FRNC (Flame Retardant, Non-Corrosive) material.
Non-metallic: the advantage
Our non-metallic (dielectric) cables offer you the following advantages:
• No problems with grounding or potential equalization
• No lightning protection measures are required
• Buildings can be electrically isolated
C o r n i n g C a b l e S y s t e m s
18
Rodent protection: resistance to damage
Damage due to rodents can be a problem mainly with direct buried
cables, but also when they are laid in shafts and duct systems. Protection
against rodent damage can be offered in the form of either non-metallic
armoring and protective jackets or metallic armoring. Non-metallic protec-
tion has the advantages of a dielectric cable as described above.
Non-metallic armoring includes laminated glass-fiber yarns, which
serve also as strength elements. With these, the cable remains flexible, and
its diameter increases insignificantly compared to an unarmored cable.
Greater non-metallic protection is offered by a jacket of polyamide,
the hardest plastic used for sheathing cables. However, it makes the
cable slightly larger and less flexible than when glass-fiber yarns are used
for the armoring.
Metallic armoring is considered the most effective protection
against rodent damage.
Metallic armoring: optimal security for every purpose
Where high mechanical loads are involved, as is the case in direct
buried installations, an additional metallic armoring is recommended. For
our standard products we offer corrugated steel tape under the outer jacket.
A special coating is used to bond the outer jacket to the steel tape. Where
the mechanical loads are exceptionally high, a further inner jacket can be
inserted underneath the steel tape.

Fiber optic cables need
to exhibit a wide range of char-
acteristics. Apart from the general
design features already descri-
bed, they must also exhibit suit-
able values for tensile strength,
temperature cycling and bending characteristics, together with impact and
crush resistance, appropriate for the application and environmental condi-
tions. Our FiberWay standard product families cover the entire range of
applications in a logical way.
Stranded and central loose tube designs:
• For all standard applications of cable laying with a tensile load up
to 2700 N and environments with a temperature range from –30ºC to
+70ºC.
• Cable design with loose fibers in stranded or central tubes.
• Variations: non-metallic, moisture barrier, non-metallic rodent protection,
metallic armoring with or without inner jacket
Further details see page 22
Ribbon designs:
• For all standard applications of cable laying with a tensile load
up to 2700 N and environments with a temperature range from –30ºC to
+70ºC.
• Cable design with fiber ribbons in stranded tubes, central tubes or
slotted cores.
• Variations: non-metallic, metallic armoring with or without inner
jacket

Although our FiberWay product families
are designed for a wide range of applications,
sometimes there is a need to find solutions for
special applications. In doing so, we can call on
the appropriate expertise.
Furthermore our sophisticated manufacturing technology and tailor-
made machines enable us to meet your particular specifications.
In the context of specific projects, we have implemented cables
with particularly demanding requirements in relation to tensile strength
of 25000 N and more, as well as for extreme climatic conditions with a
temperature range of – 60ºC to +70ºC.
Our designers can also cater for special values for crush and impact
resistance or bending characteristics.

The FiberWay Ribbon Cable family includes cable designs with fiber
ribbons in stranded loose tubes up to 864 fibers, in central tube cables up
to 432 fibers and slotted core cables up to 1000 fibers. With a tensile
strength of 2 700 N, these are suitable for all methods of cable laying.Their
temperature range of – 30 ºC to +70 ºC also covers almost all climatic con-
ditions throughout the world.
Our fiber ribbons are very easy to split up into individual fibers (pee-
lable), too, so that there is no problem in connecting to interfaces of existing
networks which have individual fibers. It is possible to splice up to twelve
fibers simultaneously, reducing the time necessary for splicing.
The fiber ribbons are distinguishable from each other by a count num-
ber printed on them.
The cables are tested in accordance with IEC 60793-1 and 60794-1-2.

For the transition area between the access network and a building,
such as campus cabling or the cabling in a distribution station, our
FutureLink Multi-Purpose Cables (MPC) and Campus Backbone Cable
(CBC) are particularly suitable. Their mechanical properties have been spe-
cially adapted to meet the required conditions – primarily the tensile load
during laying. Their very small diameters are achieved by the use of
Corning’s central tube design.
Where there are special requirements for zero halogen and flame
retardance, the MPC cables are fitted with an FRNC (flame-retardant and
non-corrosive) jacket.
The cables are tested in accordance with IEC 60794-1and the MPC
cables also satisfy all the necessary standards for indoor cables, such as
IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034.

Wherever cables have to be
joined, branched, distributed or ter-
minated, Corning Cable Systems
has excellent solutions to offer. This
applies to the transmission of voice
and data over both copper and opti-
cal cable networks.
The product range extends
from main distribution systems in exchanges through to closures for all
types of network to the terminal distribution box or cross-connect. This
range of products makes Corning Cable Systems one of the world’s largest
cable system providers.
Some examples from the comprehensive product range being used
by traditional telecommunication companies and carriers worldwide:
• Closures for fiber optic cables
• Fiber splicers
• Distribution systems for fiber optic cables
• Fiber optic connectors
The full range of Corning’s prod-
ucts for fiber optic networks is
presented in our catalog entitled
“Accessories for fiber optic
networks”, order no. A45050-
W3093-R7-X-7600.

The closures from Corning
Cable Systems are universally deploy-
able in pressurized and unpressurized
cable networks for inline, branching
or terminating joints. They can be
installed mid-span, or on the poles of
aerial cable routes, in ducts or buried directly in the ground.
There are inline (tubular), dome and half-shell closure designs
available in different sizes to suit the various network types and levels.
All our modern closures can be opened and reclosed as often as
required without using power, consumable material or special tools. This is
achieved by the use of resilient materials in the closure sealing zones.
The cable entrances are sealed with a resilient sealing tape, silicone or heat-
shrink tubes according to the type.
Fiber management systems enable the same closure family to be
used not only for fiber optic cable links but also for copper.
For the various network architectures, such as backbone, branching
and access networks, a range of fiber management systems are available,
including single user (single circuit) requirements (for networks with highly
sensitive data traffic). Closures can accommodate in excess of 600 fibers.

Corning Cable Systems
provides a family of optical
splicers designed to meet the
different requirements of the
various networks.
There is a splicer to meet
the demand for low splice losses in the long-haul network and also a
special splicer for joining single- and multimode fibers in the LAN or CATV
networks. All the splicers can process fibers with different core diameters
and a wide variety of doping profiles.
For fiber ribbons there is also a Corning Cable Systems splicer
that can process single fibers and fiber ribbons with up to 12 single fibers.
The splicing processes are monitored and controlled with the patented
LID system (a through power system) or the L-PAS system (a video analysis
system) or both at the same time. The splicing process can be performed
in each case fully automatically. On completion of splicing, the losses
obtained are displayed on the monitor and can be stored.
Apart from the splicers, of course, all the necessary tools for
stripping and cleaving the fibers are also available.

The demands on fiber optic
distribution in the various cable net-
works and architectures do not dif-
fer significantly from each other.
The universal requirement is for
reliability, easy servicing and modu-
larity for future expansions and
modifications.
Corning Cable Systems provides a modular distribution system
based on either ETSI or 19’’ units capable of being deployed in all WAN,
MAN and LAN networks. The modules are incorporated in suitable cabi-
nets, racks or wall-mounted enclosures. The result is a product range
extending from unwired modules through to fully prewired distribution
cabinets with up to 1296 terminals. The modules, of course, support all
the popular connector standards.
For networks with highly sensitive data traffic there are also distrib-
ution components available providing high levels of fiber management and
individual user access (the systems employed in Corning Cable Systems
closures).

Fiber-optic connectors form the
interface between cable and transmis-
sion equipment and provide for termina-
tion and distribution in cable systems.
Unlike fusion splices, fiber optic connec-
tors offer a simple and effective method of connecting and reconnecting
fibers.They comprise of two plugs that are joined together by an adapter.
The critical factors are the insertion loss and the return loss. These factors
are determined by the type and quality of the fiber end face as well as by
the method of installation.
We offer both
• Field Mountable Connectors
• Factory Installed Connectors on single fiber and multi fiber cable.
These industry standard connector types meet the most exacting
of our customer specifications.

Total solutions are becoming
ever more important for communica-
tion networks. Of particular impor-
tance in this context are solutions for
local networks (LANs) for use on cus-
tomer premises, and in the carrier area
(e.g. telecommunication, CATV IP net-
works) because the future lies in the
integration of speech, image and data.
At the same time, as world-spanning information infrastructure
grows, also the quality requirements to be met by networked communica-
tion solutions are growing. This demands knowledge – knowledge that we
can pass on to you.
No-one can do everything – but everything can be learned
Techniques and products are subject to constant change.This makes
it essential to have staff trained to the highest levels, who know how to
utilize technical progress to your advantage. This can only be achieved by
continuous training.
Knowledge is precious – which is why we pass it on
As a leading manufacturer of communication cables and networks
we are working with our customers to build communication bridges for the
21st century.
We realize that the planning, installation and maintenance of cable
systems involves comprehensive knowledge – something we want to
share with you as part of a genuine partnership.

We do the training – you get the profit
Our worldwide knowledge in cable and network technology is
channeled into our Training Center. On the basis of this knowledge, we
develop diverse seminars for your staff.
Our training is aimed at all those who set up or operate carrier
or customer premise cable networks.
By undertaking training before starting on a project you will avoid
costly installation errors, and will put in place a critical prerequisite for the
successful implementation of your project.
Practical orientation, not theoretical dreams
The balance is critical: theory is necessary, but practicality dictates
what must be done. From their many years of practical experience, our
trainers know which knowledge and skills are required for each task, and
they are in constant contact with development, sales and projects
engineering at Corning Cable Systems.

For the selection of the
cable type the environmental
conditions for installation are
very important. Principly a dif-
ference is made between laying in ducts and direct burial.
Laying in ducts: Protection by tubes
Laying one or more duct cables in protective ducts, and variants
such as
• multiple duct systems made of HD PE
• 2/3/5-way multi duct systems made of PVC 100
• pre-inserted ducts
• concrete channels
provides a good mechanical protection of the cable.
Depending on location and size of the duct and the possibility
for sealing it, there is often danger of damage by rodents. By using proper
non-metallic or metallic rodent protection this can be prevented (see also
p.18 rodent protection).
Methods ofcable laying
F i b e r W a y - c a t a l o g e d i t i o n 1
63
Pulling-in or blowing-in
The classical method for pulling-in a cable is to use a cable grip and
a pull-off-resistant capping.Therefore the tensile load on the cable could be
up to 2700 N. An alternative technique is the blowing-in method.
The cable will be inserted with the aid of compressed air and a
lubricant.This substantially reduces the tensile load required (up to 1000 N).
A distinction is made between blowing-in with and without a piston. With
the pistonfree version, the cable can be designed with less tensile strength
because in this case, depending on this process used, higher tensile load
due to a re-pulling-in with a pulling rope cannot arise.
C o r n i n g C a b l e S y s t e m s
64
Direct burial:Protection by metallic armoring
In a typical cable trench the cable is laid in a sand bed. However not
all ground locations will support this. Using a metallic armoring (see also
p. 18 metallic armoring) will protect our buried cables against stones and
other mechanical loads.
Laying-in, pulling-in or plowing-in
• Laying-in means the cable is laid alongside the trench and lifted in over the
edge of the trench.
• Pulling-in means the cable is pulled into the trench lengthwise, over
rollers.
• Plowing-in means using a special plow. This digs a trench and in one
operation the cable is pulled in and the trench is refilled.
All 3 methods work with a tensile load of up to 2700 N.

Types of drum lagging
For shipping by plane or ship we use as a standard
protection a complete wooden lagging.
Lamiflex lagging is an alternative for shipping in containers
directly to the customer or when the drums must be stored
for a while on an unprotected area.
The type of lagging is decided on a case by case basis
and can be in accordance with national standards.

ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network. Data, speech and images are switched and transmitted through the network, via a connection point.
LAN Local Area Network. A local network for serial transmissions between independent items of terminal equipment.
Lay length The pitch of the stranding of loose buffer tubes.
Layer cable Transmission elements arranged in layers around a central member(see central member).
LID Local Injection and Detection. This system is used to effect a rapid and problem-free alignment of fibers; it consists of two bend-closures (a trans-mitter and a receiver); light is injected into the fiber from the transmitterside, and on the receiver side the light power transmitted is measured. The criterion for optimal positioning of the fibers is that this power is maximized.
