The world's largest optical fiber manufacturer - Corning Inc. He said he has found a new way to increase the flexibility and flexibility of fiber optic cables, making them easy to deploy on high-rise buildings.

Corning has successfully developed a new type of fiber optic cable that is 100 times more flexible than standard cables, eliminating obstacles when cable providers pull to households.

New breakthrough in fiber optic technology images 1 " This is really a technological change for communications applications. We have developed fiber-optic cable that is as durable as copper cable but still ensures the bandwidth of fiber optic cable ," said Peter. Volanakis, president of Corning.

In the early 1970s, three Corning scientists invented optical cables that transmit voice, video and data signals at the speed of light, while ensuring the lowest level of data transfer. Optical fiber has been used to replace the entire copper cable in the telephone and television network in the US in the 1970s, and is the driving force for Internet development.

Current fiber optic cables cannot guarantee data transmission at the speed of light when bent at corners and follow the building's predetermined routes, making it difficult to deploy cables to businesses and families. Towel and expensive. Corning's new technology will help eliminate this barrier.
