DSM and the Prysmian Group have signed a multi-year agreement, wherein the latter would deploy DSM?s optical fiber coating technology, DeSolite Supercoatings, in its line of bend-insensitive optical fiber products.
The agreement extends cooperation between the two companies, combining DeSolite Supercoatings with Prysmian Group?s BendBright-XS fiber technology to create high-performance fiber and cable solutions for enhanced deployment and network performance.
Prysmian Group?s BendBright-XS technology, in its regular 250-micron size as well as its miniaturised 200-micron form, is produced using DeSolite Supercoatings. DeSolite Supercoatings optimise optical fiber deployment in indoor and outdoor access environments, enabling increased stress tolerance as well as providing the highest levels of processing and field robustness.
Commenting on the development, Alain Bertaina, optical fiber product line manager, Prysmian Group said, ?The DeSolite Supercoatings that DSM supplies for the production of BendBright-XS bend-insensitive fibers are important components for the performance of these products. When combined with Prysmian Group?s advanced PCVD process technology, DeSolite Supercoating formulations help secure the enhanced bending attributes of BendBright-XS. We are pleased to extend our strategic supplier relationship with DSM on this key matter.?
