As pure silica glass with no impurities is used as a core for the compound-glass-fiber-compatible fiber, attenuation is less than half that with the compound-glass fiber, enabling data transmission with improved system margin and higher reliability.
Use of pure silica glass instead of inherently weak compound glass and reinforcement with hard polymer cladding result in mechanically strong, reliable fiber cords and cables.
Highly accurate connector attachment is possible with no cumbersome and skill-requiring polishing process (only cleaving with the special cutter is required).
