OFS invests in fiber manufacturing technology

May 17, 2004 Norcross, GA--OFS, designer, manufacturer, and supplier of fiber-optic products, today announced a multi-million dollar investment in fiber process technology at its Norcross fiber manufacturing facility.

"This next generation fiber manufacturing technology will enable best-in-class performance, quality and cost for our AllWave fiber offering," said Ruben Travieso, general manager, Norcross Fiber Manufacturing and Fiber R&D.

AllWave fiber, OFS' standard singlemode fiber for the last two years, offers the lowest loss of all commercially available low water peak fibers, spanning the entire wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1625 nm.

Phase one of the multi-million dollar investment will be made in 2004.
