Fiber Optic Connectivity and Media Conversion Leaders Serve Up
Portfolio of Products to Help Data Centers Integrate Copper and
Fiber Optics Into Networks MINNEAPOLIS and HICKORY, N.C., March 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning
Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, and the
conversion technology and switching expert, Transition Networks
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications Systems, Inc.,
today announced the addition of Gigabit Ethernet copper-to-fiber
media converters to Corning's portfolio of Plug & Play(TM)
Universal System products. The Plug & Play Universal Systems
Media Converter Module is the highest- density media converter on
the market, enabling network cabling managers to seamlessly and
cost-effectively leverage existing copper electronics while taking
advantage of the data transport properties of Corning Cable
Systems' high-density Plug & Play Optical Fiber Systems.
Corning Cable Systems offers the broadest range of end-to-end fiber
optic product solutions for customers' telecommunications networks,
and the company pioneered pre-terminated solutions for enterprise
networks with its Plug & Play Factory-Terminated Systems.
Transition Networks makes conversion between disparate media types
possible by providing conversion technology solutions that offer
the necessary adaptations without affecting the performance, nature
or appearance of the network. Together, the two companies provide
large data centers with a full suite of customer-focused solutions
that touch all aspects of the network, enabling network managers to
quickly transport data to various destinations with ease and speed,
without compromising the quality of the data signal. "Large data
centers have a continuous need to upgrade their networks to ensure
the effective transport and quality of high volumes of data," said
Bill Schultz, vice president of marketing at Transition Networks.
"Corning leads the market and is offering a portfolio of solutions
that feature high-density ribbon cabling and MTP connector-based
trunking for space-saving and convenient fiber deployment. The
addition of our media conversion technology to the Plug & Play
Universal Systems product line offers more versatility to help
organizations optimize the connectivity infrastructure in their
data centers." "The addition of the Media Converter Module to
Corning's product portfolio allows customers to gain all the
benefits of a pre-terminated, modular solution, while using the
low-cost legacy copper electronics that are available today," said
Doug Winders, vice president of sales and marketing for Corning
Cable Systems Private Networks. "We are pleased to be working with
Transition Networks on this exciting endeavor." Product
Configuration The Media Converter Module is a Gigabit Ethernet
media conversion solution in a Plug & Play Universal Systems
footprint. The Media Converter Module, with 12 RJ-45 copper ports
on the front and two 12-fiber MTP(R) Connector ports at the rear,
is the highest-density media conversion solution on the market
today. Just like traditional Plug & Play Systems modules, the
12-port Media Converter Module fits into Corning Cable Systems
hardware. Up to two Media Converter Modules can be placed into the
1-rack-unit (1U) housing, offering 24-copper-port density, and up
to eight modules can be placed into the 4-rack- unit (4U) housing
for 96-copper-port density. The Media Converter Housing, while
offering the same footprint as a standard Corning Pretium(TM) Rack-
Mountable Housing, offers additional features for the Media
Converter Modules, including a specially designed area for the
power supply units and easy routing of the power cords. For
continuous uptime, the solution offers front- mounted redundant
power supplies. Corning's Plug & Play Universal Systems allows
customers to use less space for their cabling and eliminate heat
and air flow problems that copper cabling can generate. Because the
components of the system are modular, moves, adds and changes are
fast and simple, enabling pay-as-you-grow scalability and lowering
the total cost of network ownership. For more information on the
