Fiber Optic Cable | Corning

Spanning a broad range of end-to-end fiber solutions for communication networks, Corning Optical Communications forms the backbone that connects businesses, homes, and people around the globe.

The First Consideration with Fiber Optic Cable Is the Environment

Outdoor Fiber Optic Cables

Outdoor Fiber Optic Cables

Cables for outdoor applications are engineered to withstand the more demanding conditions seen outside, from environmental extremes to mechanical forces. Outdoor cables therefore feature rugged constructions to resist ultra-violet light and temperature fluctuations, and may include features to withstand the requirements of being installed outdoors.

These are cables that are designed to meet both the rigorous environment of the outdoors but also can be routed indoors, where flame rating requirements also apply. This type of cable eliminates the need for a “transition splice” to an indoor-rated cable when routing an outdoor cable into the building.

These cables are used exclusively within buildings and must have a flame-retardant jacket to fit this purpose. They may be deployed in duct (conduit) or cable tray.

MiniXtend Cables - Corning’s Micro Cabling Solution

MiniXtend Cables

Corning’s micro cabling solution solves the demand for today’s unlimited bandwidth capacity and addresses escalating network duct congestion.

Designed for installation in microduct systems using air-assisted installation methods, Corning’s MiniXtend® cables are up to 50 percent smaller than standard loose tube cables and offer high-fiber-counts in a small cable diameter footprint.

Corning’s innovative optical micro cabling solutions include the following:

MiniXtend HD Cable is our highest-density micro cable featuring Corning® SMF-28® Ultra 200 fiber and delivering fiber counts up to 288 fibers. Our MiniXtend HD cable is up to 20 percent smaller than standard micro cables.

MiniXtend Cable with Binderless* FastAccess® Technology has the same dimensions and fiber counts (12-144 fibers) as the original MiniXtend cable, but also features our time-saving binderless* FastAccess technology. This groundbreaking innovation in cable design eliminates the use of binder and waterblocking yarns and waterblocking tapes and enables up to 70 percent faster cable access and reduced risk of buffer tube damage.
