Press Release
Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. achieves a groundbreaking milestone by successfully realising the world’s first mass-production of ultra-low loss, multi-core fiber “2C Z-PLUS Fiber™ ULL,” and will launch its sales in October 2023.
Optical fiber is an essential infrastructure supporting today’s information and telecommunications network society. With the widespread of bandwidth-hungry network services including 5G mobile communications and global traffic between large-scale datacenters, it is essential to increase the capacity of optical communication systems. In order to expand transmission capacities further, multi-core fiber (MCF) that has plural cores in a single fiber has been actively studied and highly anticipated as a next-generation fiber.
