NOVEMBER 29, 2006 -- Corning Cable Systems (search for Corning Cable Systems), part of Corning Inc.'s telecommunications segment, and Charles Industries Ltd. (search for Charles Industries), today announce the availability of Corning's OptiTect Premier Sealed Local Convergence Point (LCP) Enclosure in a custom-designed pedestal from Charles Industries.

According to the companies, the product is the result of their strategic relationship to provide best-in-class Telcordia-tested and RDUP-accepted fiber pedestal solutions. The collaboration allows Charles to provide its time-proven pedestal products, while Corning offers what it claims is state-of-the-art fiber connectivity within the unit.

The OptiTect Premier Sealed LCP Enclosure is a prestubbed, preconnectorized enclosure that provides the best protection from environmental conditions, say Corning representatives. It is designed to enable centralized splitting architectures to distribute up to 144 fibers in a sealed environment. It is now available in a Charles Industries pedestal that was specifically designed to house the sealed enclosure.

The feeder and distribution cables of the enclosure are sealed and tested in factory-controlled conditions, so no new personnel training or tools are required to ensure fast, simple, and reliable installation and re-entry, say the companies. It is designed to hold up to five 1x32 splitter modules with preterminated SC UPC or SC APC adapters. The enclosure is prestubbed and preconnectorized with a feeder cable and 144-, 96-, or 72-fiber distribution cable.

The OptiTect Premier Sealed Local Convergence Point Enclosure is part of Corning Cable Systems Evolant Solutions. Through its Evolant Solutions for FTTx Networks, Corning Cable Systems offers specialized portfolios of products and services that enable customers to deploy fiber in the last mile.
