Cisco Optics Podcast Ep 48. If single-mode fiber seems like magic to you, listen to this (5 of 8) Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Single-mode fiber transformed telecommunications in the 1970s and 1980s by raising the ceiling for communication bandwidth over transoceanic distances. It took years of R&D to get there though. Remember, we’re sending light through tens of kilometers of glass without regeneration. Imagine how pure the glass of an 80km thick window needs to be in order to see through it! In Episode 48, we continue our conversation with Roshene McCool, expert in fiber networks for telecommunications & scientific instrumentation at Corning Optical Communications. We continue with fiber density and bend resilience. – Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager Roshene McCool is the Senior Market and Technology Development Manager for Corning Optical Fiber and Cable, specialising in single-mode fiber and access networks.
