Corning SMF-LS Optical Bare Fiber 4.5 km CPC6 is a single-mode fiber engineered for long-haul telecommunications and networking systems demanding minimal signal loss and exceptional optical performance. The CPC6 variant features Corning’s dual-layer acrylate coating—245 µm nominal outside diameter, mechanically strippable—providing durable fiber protection and technician-friendly handling. Manufactured via Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD), this ultra-pure fiber delivers consistent geometric properties, high strength, and low attenuation across demanding network infrastructures.
