Corning Clear Track Hallway Fiber Pathway

Corning’s Clear Track Hallway Fiber Pathway is a surface-mounted, clear adhesive-backed conduit for distribution of optical fiber within multiple-dwelling and multitenant units (MDUs/MTUs). The pathway enables fast and easy installation with minimal disruption for tenants. The Clear Track Hallway Fiber Pathway enables quicker, less-invasive deployments than methods traditionally associated with installing fiber in MDU/MTU applications such as fishing above ceilings or behind walls. Proprietary adhesive backing on the pathway enables installation on practically any surface. Meanwhile, the improved aesthetics that derive from its near invisibility promotes greater building owner acceptance, speeding the process of contracting broadband service into new buildings.

Judge’s comment: “An attractive - or rather almost invisible - way to install fibers in interior hallways. Installing is as simple as removing the liner and applying the adhesive-backed surface to a wall near the ceiling.”
