Sumitomo Electric Japan will develop high-capacity optical fibers

On March 25, Japan's Sumitomo Electric announced that the company will develop a new optical fiber
that meets the requirements of long-distance large-capacity information communication.
Internally, four optical fiber signal transmission paths will be adopted to improve multi-core fiber
.
The optical fiber transmission line, which is practical for signal loss, is controlled
by a high-performance component of a single-mode fiber.
At this point, the original optical fiber transmission capacity will be increased by about
4 times.

Now, with the spread of smartphones around the world and the development of data centers, the amount of information communication will continue to expand
.
The developed product will record the world's lowest transmission loss
by spatially segmenting optical fibers for multiple communications such as multi-core products.
In order to achieve large-capacity transmission, new optical fiber products are expected to be favored
.
In addition, the diameter of this product is 125 microns, which is the same as the
original product.
Fiber optic cable products that have been designed are highly anticipated
.

The company has been producing pure quartz fiber since the early 80s, and has been working on the pioneering research and development of multicore fiber since 09
.
So far, we will combine various research results to develop this product
.
In the future, the company will continue to focus on performance evaluation and mass production technology that is close to actual use
.
