BERLIN, February 20 /PRNewswire/ --     Corning Cable Systems GmbH & Co KG, part of Corning Incorporated's
(NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, will demonstrate its leadership and
innovation in data centre solutions at the 2009 Data Centre World Exhibition
in London, Feb. 24-25.

The exhibit (booth #106) will feature Corning Cable Systems' Plug &
Play(TM) Universal Systems. Plug & Play Universal Systems address the unique
challenges of data centres with factory-terminated, modular components that
reduce the data centre footprint and promote air flow for lower cooling and
electrical costs. While offering one of the best bandwidth performances
available, connectivity is as simple as pulling in the cable assemblies,
mounting the hardware and plugging in the connectors.

The FutureCom(TM) EA system with the S500 Module will also be showcased
in the exhibit. The system provides a universal generic cabling solution for
the use of Ethernet, VoIP, telephone, TV and other services, and is specially
designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 100 meters. This latest addition
to Corning's 10 Gbps Ethernet copper cabling systems family offers high
network performance and security with alien cross talk protection that is
compliant with the Cat. 6A requirements. It also supports Power over Ethernet
and Power over Ethernet Plus.

The exhibit will also include:

- Pretium(R) Integrated Solutions Zero-U System, which features
pre-engineered optical harnesses that map directly to the line card ports
of major equipment vendor SAN directors. The Zero-U System includes
MTP(R) Connector brackets mounted into the cabinet's vertical manager to
facilitate patching instead of consuming valuable rack space as is
traditional, providing more room for data centre electronics. The Pretium
Integrated Solutions family also includes the U-Space System, which
provides the high-density benefits realized by the Zero-U System,
utilizing a traditional rack mount housing for the MTP Connector patching
area.

- Integrated Trunk Module (ITM), a factory-terminated, MTP
Connector trunk assembly integrated into a Plug & Play Universal Systems
module. The trunk cable stored within the module is easily deployed to an
exact length, so precise pre-planning of cable length is not required.

The ITM provides a quick and convenient method for deploying and/or
redeploying optical connectivity and is well-suited for zone distribution
architectures, from the zone distribution area to equipment cabinet(s).
Additionally, the ITM can be easily deployed between the data centre main
distribution area and individual cabinet locations.

- UniCam(R) Pretium Performance Connectors, which offer
industry-leading optical performance in a fast, easy field-termination
solution.
