Corning Cable Systems' standard ALTOS(R), SST-Ribbon(TM) and SOLO(R) Cable families will be commercially available with Corning NexCor fiber beginning in March 2004. Earlier today, Corning announced the release of NexCor fiber, a state-of-the-art, single-mode fiber See singlemode fiber. , compliant with ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union recommendation G.652.D and optimized for converged voice, video and data services networks - also known as "triple play" networks. Corning NexCor fiber enables longer reach and higher split ratios, lowering the overall network cost per subscriber, by enabling twice the launch power compared with standard single-mode fibers. This higher power-handling capability is designed into the optical fiber itself through Corning-engineered MaxPower technology, which increases the stimulated Brillouin scattering Brillouin scattering occurs when light in a medium (such as water or a crystal) interacts with density variations and changes its path. The density variations may be due to acoustic modes, such as phonons, or temperature gradients. (SBS See Small Business Server. ) threshold of the fiber by 3 dB compared with other standard single-mode fibers.
