Corning Introduces Newest InfiniCor Multimode Fiber; Corning will host technical demonstration of newest product offering at 2005 Winter BICSI.CORNING, N.Y. -- Corning Incorporated Corning Incorporated NYSE: GLW is an American manufacturer of glass, ceramics and related materials, primarily for industrial and scientific applications. The company was known until 1989 as Corning Glass Works. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :GLW GLW Glasgow Airport (UK) GLW Gross Laden Weight GLW Good Lady Wife (Australia) ) announced today the availability of InfiniCor(R) eSX+ optical fiber, an extended reach, 10 Gigabit Ethernet-capable multimode fiber An optical fiber with a larger core than singlemode fiber. It is the most commonly used fiber for short distances such as LANs. Light can enter the core at different angles, making it easier to connect the light source to broader light sources such as LEDs. for premises networks. Corning will demonstrate the capabilities of this new fiber in a technical display at the 2005 Winter BICSI (Building Industry Consulting Service International, Tampa, FL, www.bicsi.org) An international telecommunications association providing education, registration and resources for professionals involved in the design and installation of low-voltage distribution systems in commercial and Conference in Orlando, Florida The city of Orlando is a major city in central Florida and is the county seat of Orange County, Florida. According to the 2000 census, the city population was 185,951. A 2006 U.S. , on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24. InfiniCor eSX+ fiber is a 50/125 micron multimode fiber enabling 10 Gb/s serial transmission over extended distances in the 850 nm wavelength window, where low-cost vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) enable a cost-effective, high-bandwidth solution. InfiniCor eSX+ fiber is ideally suited for local area networks, storage area networks and high-speed parallel interconnects for head ends, central offices and data centers. It is optimized for high-performance protocols, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. , and is also fully compatible with legacy enterprise and local area networks (LANs). "Our customers and channel partners have recently shown interest in a Corning-qualified extended reach, 10 Gigabit Ethernet-capable multimode fiber." said David Velasquez, global product line manager, multimode fiber. "At Corning we continue to focus our development efforts, manufacturing processes and measurement expertise on ensuring high-quality products that meet the needs of our customers, and that have proven functionality in system tests. After more than one year of functionality testing, we're confident that InfiniCor eSX+ fiber will meet those needs, while also meeting the Corning standard of performance. Now, all enterprise and premises network operators can extend the cost-saving opportunities of low-cost 850nm VCSELs into other areas of their network." Corning, a world-leading supplier of optical fiber, will conduct a live technical demonstration of error-free 10 Gb/s performance over 550 meters of cabled InfiniCor eSX+ fiber at the 2005 Winter BICSI Conference. This will be a demonstration of the capabilities of Corning's InfiniCor eSX+ fiber in real-world conditions with commercially-available 850 nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) Pronounced "vixel." A type of laser diode that emits light from its surface rather than its edge. A VCSEL's circular beam is easy to couple with a fiber, and due to its surface-emission architecture, can be tested transceivers, multiple connectors and length configurations. Corning will demonstrate the ability of InfiniCor eSX+ to offer greater flexibility and margin when planning for the ever-growing number of passive connections. The demonstration will be held on Sunday, Jan. 23, and Monday, Jan. 24, in Osceola 5 at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando.
