Corning Cable Systems Introduces 100G Migration Patch Cord

Corning Cable Systems’ 100G Ready LANscape® Pretium® EDGE™ Solutions and Plug & Play™ Universal Systems easily migrate from 10G to 40G Ethernet by replacing the MTP to LC module with an MTP adapter and a 12-fiber MTP patch cord. Migration from 40G to 100G Ethernet can be achieved just as easily on the same 12-fiber system by replacing the 12-fiber MTP patch cord with the new dual 12-fiber MTP to 24-fiber MTP 100G Migration Patch Cord.

Corning Cable Systems 100G Migration Patch Cords feature a flexible round cable, small outer diameter and Corning® ClearCurve® multimode fiber. The 100G Migration Patch Cord offers enhanced bend performance, allowing tighter cable routing without negatively impacting system performance, while virtually eliminating preferential bend concerns that are normally associated with ribbon interconnect cable.

The ANSI/TIA-568-C.3-compliant 100G Migration Patch Cord provides convenient routing and patching for high-density connector populations and meets the polarity requirements of the pending IEEE 802.3ba, 40/100G Ethernet Standard. Corning Cable Systems’ MTP Connectors are FOCIS 5-compliant, ensuring compatibility with all MT-based transceivers. A full range of installation options is offered, including non-pinned-to-pinned patch cords for interconnects, and pinned-to-pinned patch cords for cross-connects.

Visit Corning Cable Systems’ exhibit at Interop Las Vegas (booth #1859) April 27-29 to see the 100G Migration Patch Cord.
