As global demand for bandwidth continues to grow, smaller cables with more optical fibers are needed. The MiniXtend HD Cable features Corning SMF-28® Ultra 200 fiber, the industry's first 200-micron fiber with a 9.2-micron field-mode diameter (MFD), for seamless integration with existing networks.
The high-fiber-content, high-density micro cable offers up to 288 fibers in a stranded SZ tube that is up to 60 percent smaller, up to 70 percent lighter, and fully compliant with ITU-T Recommendation G.652 standards.
Corning's MiniXtend Cable with FastAccess Technology is an innovative SZ micro cable with a jacket that peels easily without sharp tools to reveal bondless protective tubing ready for immediate use. Together, these features reduce cable access time by 70 percent and significantly reduce the risk of damage.
Corning’s two newest optical cabling solutions feature the proven performance of Corning® SMF-28 Ultra fiber, with industry-leading attenuation and macro-bending response that exceeds the requirements of ITU-T G.657.A1 Recommendations. In addition, the fiber’s low loss improves signal reach by up to 10 percent over conventional ITU-T G.652 fiber types and increases coverage by up to 20 percent when served by a point of presence or central office.
