Corning Wilmington Plant Installs Siecor's MT-RJ Connectors.HICKORY Hickory, city, United States Hickory, city (1990 pop. 28,301), Burke and Catawba counties, W N.C., at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mts.; inc. 1870. It is a processing and trade center for an abundant agricultural region (grain, soybeans, poultry, hogs, , N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 1999-- Siecor's ( http://www.siecor.com ) new two-fiber MT-RJ connectors A fiber-optic cable connector that is very popular for small form factor devices due to its small size. Housing two fibers and mating together with locating pins on the plug, the MT-RJ comes from the MT connector, which can contain up to 12 fibers. are designed to provide premises network customers with more termination density at an affordable price. Corning Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of optical fiber for the telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. industry, recently deployed MT-RJ connectors at their Wilmington optical fiber manufacturing facility. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Regina Plowden, Corning Communication Systems Technician, "We chose the MT-RJ MT-RJ Mechanical Transfer - Registered Jack because of its higher port density. With Siecor's MT-RJ, there haven't been any issues with the cables or the ports," she said. "The MT-RJ's simple plug offers an easy installation without any twisting." Siecor is the developer of the MT-RJ UniCam(r) connector; a field-installable connector that houses two optical fibers inside one ferrule A ceramic, plastic or stainless steel part of a fiber-optic plug that holds the end of the fiber and precisely aligns it to the socket. The fiber is inserted into the ferrule and cemented with an epoxy or adhesive, which gives it long-term mechanical strength and prevents contamination . This multi-fiber single ferrule technology provides superior protection and performance. In addition, the RJ-style outer housing offers a familiar design for end users and installers that have worked with copper connectors. The MT-RJ is available in both multimode and single-mode configurations and is compatible with Siecor's new performance Gigabit Plus(TM) optical fiber cable containing Corning(r) InfiniCor(TM) 300 fiber. The MT-RJ UniCam connector uses the same reliable, proven no-epoxy, no-polish technology as Siecor's standard UniCam connector. With the MT-RJ UniCam connector two fibers can be terminated in two minutes in the field using the same installation tool and procedure as the standard single fiber UniCam connector. Siecor's MT-RJ UniCam connector is part of its LANscape(r)2 Solutions-complete fiber cabling solutions for premises networks. LANscape2 Solutions double the termination density using MT-RJ two-fiber connectivity, and provide solutions to laser-based 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. applications.
