The realization of the "super multicore" will develop new cable ~ ~ connection data centres of the world

Multi-fiber refers to "multicore".On as fine glass fiber as human hair, thin resin coated processing after forming around 0.25 mm outside diameter of fiber core, as stated earlier, the core according to the number of necessary stranded, durable plastic coated processing product is a cable.Obviously, if we can within the cable to receive a conductor with high density, can realize with large capacity.Past, fiber optic cable some conclusions to an average of 100 core level, even in Japan such multi-fiber in developed countries, usually use the biggest some also in around 1000 core.So far, we are committed to make finer cable diameter in some same process, realize the high density, and accumulated technology.The new group of customers to this, the fiber optic cable, its demand and past customers also completely different.Starting point is the winter of 2014.The current us market of optical communication business strategic stronghold SEL (SumitomoElectric Lightwave Corp.) the President of Syria, suzuki Japan at the time of the optical communication department to promote more core technology development and new type of optical fiber cable.Suzuki from SEL customer needs is the "data center needs, is to use the experience good multicore cable".At that time, the core cable up to 864 in the United States.

In introduce the research and development of the "3456" fiber cable, you first need to understand is the "ribbon fiber (also known as the Tape) core" and "continuous ribbon fiber"."Ribbon fiber core" means, parallel to optical fibers, package of coated conductor.Compared with the previous single core optical fiber core, actually put more outstanding, each strip can receive one-time melting optical fiber core, greatly shorten the melting operation time.Customers use, is to be outside the mainstream of 12 core ribbon fiber adding slit (gap), the new development of fiber ribbon.Promote the development with suzuki, is now as optical communication division technology minister amano turiaf.

"There was a technical issue, it is on the basis of maintaining transmission characteristics, how to in limited space, into the high density optical fiber.Joined the slit of the discontinuous ribbon fiber, while improves the flexibility, also implements the one-time ribbon fiber docking it neat.By adopting the continuous ribbon fiber and bending strengthening type optical fiber, and the center for bearing components (with laying, relieve the tension of fiber by) the height of the flexible tank type structure, and realize the leap ascension receive core density.Trial production, it is our continuous repeatedly to strong endurance and the fastest speed to complete the work.Finally, on the premise of the same diameter, achieved 2 times in the past some conclusions, that is 1.5 inches is 1728 core tube, 2.0 inch pipe for 3456 core a surprise some receive, more than the core of the world's highest level ".

In the process of development, we take the "unprecedented speed" played a accumulated manufacturing capabilities, namely the strength of the manufacturing site.In this way, the world's first 3456 core product delivery in early 2016.

Sumitomo electric group cable business, the past has always been based on domestic market as the object, so with the market matures, inevitably fell into the downturn.The development of the "super multicore cable" in this new development as well as foreign markets, is "cable" epoch-making, innovative achievements.Mentioned above in the optical communication minister, at the end of the career, in 3456 core receive cable proposal, with what customers say "crazy" remember this sentence.This is finished in a short time are surprised by high density optical cable and sigh, also is the highest praise.

Very large scale customers proposals to the United States, is the suzuki as President of SEL mentioned above.As head of business rules over the vice President of Barrett mills points out, is the very large scale companies in promoting the high-speed business.

"Now, through our and sumitomo electric deep relations of cooperation to develop products, can maintain the evolving product sophistication.However, we don't know what will happen after two years of customer needs and market changes.The customer's business is accelerating change.In this context, we must take more than the core of maintain certain prestige in the market.Therefore, in addition to more than the core, need to provide to the customer network, including optical fiber peripheral devices, a comprehensive solution.At the same time, I hope the relationship between the construction of the reinforcement and, in order to further improve the "for customer support system.

Sumitomo electric industries to develop "super multicore cable" field, then by other companies in the same industry to emulate, in fierce competition.In this context, in order to "maintain a certain sense," support the cloud society unceasingly, in order to create a new era of the sumitomo electric group as the target of new challenges.
