Abstract

This paper presents the current advances in the development of materials in the field of telecommunication wiring together with the background which created the need for the new technologies. The background is somewhat unique to the current socio-economical situation of Japan. The key technical areas, which are addressed in this paper, are; (1) fibers for transmission of over 1 Tbps by utilizing WDM (wavelength division multiplexing), (2) fibers for fiber amplifiers to replace repeaters within trunk lines, (3) high density cables with over 1000 fiber counts, (4) ABF (air blown fiber) for access system, (5) plastic optical fibers wiring in premises or offices operating at the transmission speed of over 200 Mbps.
