Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. (TOKYO:5802) (ISIN:JP3407400005), a leading global developer and manufacturer of optical fiber, cable and components as well as modules and subsystems for the information and communications industry, today announced that its PureAccess-R5 bending loss insensitive single mode optical fiber is fully compliant with the new ITU-T G.657.B3 recommended standard for macrobend at a 5-mm radius for efficiently routing optical drop cables and other applications inside the home and Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs). The fiber is also ideal for data center applications and central office (CO) routing. Demonstrating lower attenuation and bending loss at the 1550 and 1625 nm wavelengths and a higher proof stress level,PureAccess-R5 exceeds the requirements of the G.657.B3 standard.
