 Telecommunications and electronics.

Faxes. Modems. Cable TV. Laptop Computers. All important tools in the information age. But these tools are useless without reliable cables to transmit information, circuitry and components. Owens Corning is helping the telecommunications and electronic industries rise meet the needs of today's markets and prepare for tomorrow's challenges.



Telecommunications

Owens Corning Systems for Telecommunications provide customer-driven solutions and high-performance reinforcements to meet the demanding performance and cost requirements of cable manufacturers and their customers.

Owens Corning glass fiber reinforcements, specifically design engineered for telecommunications applications, perform a variety of functions in both fiber optic and copper wire communications cables. Glass reinforcements uniquely meet the cable's critical needs for high tensile strength, high dielectric strength, corrosion resistance, temperature stability, flame resistance and superior processability.

Owens Corning Optic Cable Reinforcements and Central Strength Members are used inside fiber optic cables to protect the fragile optical fibers during installation, as well as against damage that can be caused by seasonal contraction and expansion.

Electronics

Glass fiber is used extensively in printed circuit boards made for the consumer electronics, transportation and telecommunications industries. The communications industry is constantly reducing the size of laptop computers, cellular phones, calculators and other electronic business products, while increasing their speed. As this trend of minituraization continues, Owens Corning will meet demand by producing and marketing high-quality fine yarns (small diameter filaments), which will eventually end up in circuit boards for these products.

Whichever communication device you're using, Owens Corning glass fibers will be there to help you make the connection.
