Corning Vascade EX1000, EX3000, and Vascade LEAF
These are earlier generations of the Corning submarine fiber line. Vascade EX1000 and EX3000 preceded the current EX2000/EX2500 products; Vascade LEAF is the submarine variant of the LEAF (Large Effective Area Fiber) design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Corning Vascade LEAF the same as terrestrial LEAF?
No. Vascade LEAF is a submarine-specific design. Terrestrial Corning LEAF is a G.655.C NZ-DSF designed for DWDM long-haul land routes. The names share a heritage but the products are engineered for different environments — submarine fiber must pass much more stringent hydrogen aging and pressure testing than terrestrial fiber.
