Corning Cable Systems Reduces Cost and Complexity of Deploying Secure Networks
Hickory, North Carolina, March 29, 2005 - Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated�s telecommunication�s segment, will be highlighting its Optical PDS Solution at FOSE 2005, April 5-7 in Washington, D.C. The solution is designed for government or other facilities that require physical segregation of multiple classification networks.
The Optical PDS Solution, designed to meet National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security (NSTISSI) requirements as a protected distribution system, features cable assemblies with up to 48 fibers organized into easily identifiable 12-fiber ruggedized ribbons. These cable assemblies offer space and cost savings over traditional PDS installations, while also providing the benefits of optical fiber cables. The cable assemblies minimize deployment cost and complexity by reducing EMT (metal conduit) and encryption requirements, while also improving network performance.
Corning Cable Systems also offers Keyed MT-RJ Modules for government customers who, because of different security classifications, must run physically segregated networks to work areas. The modules prevent accidental or intentional connection to the wrong network by offsetting one of the existing MT-RJ alignment keys to four different positions. To identify the offset key positions, components are color-coded blue, green, red and yellow.
Corning Cable Systems will feature its solution for deploying secure networks in its booth (#3919) at FOSE 2005, April 5-7 in Washington, D.C.
