Hickory, North Carolina, January 8, 2008 - HICKORY, N.C. Corning Cable Systems LLC, part of Corning Incorporated’s (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, is featuring its Plug and Play™ AnyLAN™ Systems at the 2008 BICSI Winter Conference in Orlando, Fla. The all-encompassing preterminated fiber optic cabling solution can be deployed in both inside and outside plant local area network (LAN) applications.
Plug & Play AnyLAN Systems feature a multimode or single-mode optical cable pre-installed with network access points at customer-specified intervals and a tethered, environmentally hardened MT connector. Once distance measurements for network access point locations are obtained, the preterminated system is manufactured and tested. The entire system is then packaged and shipped to the customer on a cable reel for immediate deployment in the desired indoor or outdoor application.
Plug & Play AnyLAN Systems for Inside Plant Applications is compatible with 2-in duct for riser applications and factory floor environments. Plug & Play AnyLAN Systems for Outside Plant Applications is compatible with both buried (direct-buried, 1.25-in and 2-in duct) and aerial (overlash, dedicated messenger, and self-supporting) installations. The comprehensive solution is ideal for indoor and outdoor installations with multifiber drops to multiple locations.
Corning Cable Systems Plug & Play AnyLAN Systems allows network installations to be completed much more efficiently at speeds up to 50 percent faster than traditional field installations. The system provides end-users with significant cost savings due to few cable pulls and less connectorization in the field.
Plug & Play AnyLAN Systems is a Corning Cable Systems LANscape® Solutions product. Corning Cable Systems will be featuring the system and other LANscape Solutions products in its booth (#2017) at the 2008 BICSI Winter Conference, Jan. 14-17 in Orlando, Fla.
