BERLIN, Germany, April 20 /PRNewswire/ --     Corning Cable Systems GmbH & Co KG, part of Corning
Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, will demonstrate its
leadership and innovation in Plug and Play(TM) Universal Low-Loss Systems at
the second 2009 Corning Customer Day at Berlin European Headquarters on Apr.
22.

Corning Cable Systems Plug & Play Universal Low-Loss Systems are
preterminated optical fibre cabling systems designed to dramatically improve
performance for the increasing demand for high speeds in the data centre,
enterprise building backbone and fibre-to-the-desk applications.

The factory-terminated solutions provide improved system performance,
ensure component compatibility and yield consistent quality. Plug & Play
Universal Low-Loss Systems components are simple to configure and can be
installed, connected and made operational in a fraction of the time when
compared to using conventional, field-termination methods. Universal wiring
provides a simple migration path between two-fibre and parallel applications,
and with the use of modular components, enables fast and simple networking
moves, adds and changes without concerns associated with special
polarity-compensating components.

Plug & Play Universal Low-Loss Systems, consisting of modules, trunks and
extender trunks, harnesses and jumpers, features MTP(R)-to-LC Connector and
MTP-to-SC Connector modules and harnesses with a maximum loss of 0.5 dB. The
system provides architecture design flexibility while providing additional
loss margin.

Corning Cable Systems Plug & Play Universal Systems are 100G Ethernet
ready, capable of reliably supporting transmission speeds up to 100G with
laser-optimized Corning(R) InfiniCor(R) 50 micrometres multimode (OM3) fibre.
The deployment of Plug & Play Universal Systems today will support the
migration path to 100G Ethernet in accordance with the IEEE 802.3ba Standard.
