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.
