Leading the way in Telecommunication
Covestro fiber optic coatings are built on 40 years of technical experience, research and development and close partnerships that enable the sustainable success of our customers. Our coatings protect fiber from environmental field stresses while ensuring signal reliability and they facilitate greater reliability and higher performing networks as measured through microbending* performance. Covestro fiber optic coatings enable optical design flexibility as well as a high quality ‘inking’ of the fiber and more consistent performance when producing the ribbon.
The optical fiber coatings applied to an optical fiber are a critical component of today’s high-speed fiber networks – ensuring the high performance and longevity needed to last for 20 to 30 years. This is precisely how high-speed internet became a reality. And we produce more than 50% of these coatings.
*Microbending is defined as a test method to show attenuation by inducing a microbending failure.
