When performance matters, loss matters.

When speed matters, loss matters.

When cost matters, loss matters.

Why choose Corning ultra-low-loss optical fiber? Because loss matters. Corning LEAF® fiber, SMF-28® Ultra fiber, SMF-28® ULL fiber, and TXF™ fiber enable high-purity transmissions over longer distances, minimizing your cost-per-bit. They reduce the need for costly amplifiers and signal regenerators. And they give your infrastructure the headroom it needs for future advances, like 200 and 400 Gb/s. At Corning, we’re making the possibilities of ultra-low-loss optical fiber for long-haul networks real.www.corning.com/opticalfiber | +44-1244-525-320
