In April, 2011 Draka announced that it will begin shipping bend insensitive MM fiber in place of standard OM3 and OM4 fibers in their UC branded cabling solutions. They billed this as “…effectively a free bend-insensitive upgrade for our customers.” Based on some of the industry buzz and the questions many key players in the cable and connectivity markets still have, is this something everyone wants? Well, Draka must think so - and we know Corning made their ClearCurve® 50µm BIMMF a standard product in 2009.
