Corning Cable Systems launches low-loss Plug & Play System

Jan. 26, 2007
JANUARY 26, 2007-- With a maximum module loss of 0.5 dB and a total system link-loss of 1.0 dB, the system's performance will allow customers to meet the strict budgets demanded by today's systems, especially when working in 10-Gigabit environments, say company representatives.

JANUARY 26, 2007 -- Corning Cable Systems LLC (search for Corning Cable Systems), part of Corning Inc.'s Telecommunications segment, this week announced the availability of its new low-loss Plug & Play Universal System.

With a maximum module loss of 0.5 dB and a total system link-loss of 1.0 dB, the system's performance will allow customers to meet the strict budgets demanded by today's systems, especially when working in 10-Gigabit environments, say company representatives.

Corning Cable Systems Plug & Play Universal Low-Loss Systems are preterminated optical fiber cabling systems that streamline the process of deploying an optical network infrastructure in the premises environment, particularly in data-center applications. The low-loss system, consisting of modules, trunks and extender trucks, and harnesses and jumpers, features MTP to LC connector modules and harnesses with a maximum loss of 0.5 dB. The total link-loss for the complete module-trunk-module Plug & Play System is 1.0 dB.

The Universal System eliminates fiber polarity as a factor in system design, redesign, or installation through its value-added wiring solution, says Corning. Because of its innovative design, the Universal System has no special polarity components, avoiding the polarity problems caused by incorrect placement of modules and jumpers.

Plug & Play Universal Systems, part of Corning Cable Systems LANscape Pretium Solution, feature high-density ribbon cabling and MTP connector-based trunking for space saving and convenient fiber deployment. The systems also include a round, plenum-rated distribution cable with a smaller outer diameter that allows more room for trunk cables and easier routing in patch panels without preferential bend, contends the company. The factory-terminated systems offer improved system performance, component compatibility, and consistent quality.
