The object
Pushkar Tandon co-invented bend-insensitive ClearCurve optical fiber for high-density installations. ClearCurve fiber was engineered to keep signals intact when sharply bent, reducing installation constraints for fiber-to-the-home and other high-density network hardware. That flexibility matters when installers work in cramped buildings.
