Prysmian announces CasaLightTM Plus - an Enhanced Performance Bend Insensitive Optical Fibre

Milan, May 13th, 2008 - Following the launch last year of CasaLightTM, the ITU G657 compliant bend insensitive fibre, Prysmian announces the arrival of CasaLightTM Plus, an enhanced performance design which further reduces the minimum working bend radius, exceeding the recommendations of G657.B

Thus whilst CasaLightTM maintains its role as Prysmian's standard fibre choice for FTTH applications, the availability of CasaLightTM Plus for extreme bend applications further strengthens Prysmian's overall system offering

CasaLightTM Plus maintains its full compliance with standard equipment, connectors and fibre already installed in accordance with ITU Recommendation G 652.

Furthermore Prysmian has maintained its commitment to the environment with a fluorine free production process for CasaLightTM Plus as with all of its other fibre products

CasaLightTM Plus optical fibre is now fully available in all of Prysmian's extensive range of FTTH cable products ensuring maximum levels of performance under the most demanding of installation scenarios.
