Sumitomo Electric Industries introduced a multi-core optical fiber featuring 8 cores in the standard 125-µm cladding suitable for optical interconnects.
Sumitomo said its MCF has optical characteristics comparable to the standard single-mode fiber (SSMF). The 125-µm cladding realizes the mechanical reliability equivalent to that of the standard optical fibers, and can utilize various technologies related to the standard optical fibers such as...
