BERLIN, September 24 /PRNewswire/ --

- Seminar attendees to get first-hand experience with LANscape(R)
Pretium(R) EDGE Solutions

Corning Cable Systems GmbH & Co KG, part of Corning Incorporated's
(NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, will feature its new LANscape(R)
Pretium(R) Evolved-Density, Growth-Enabled (EDGE) Solutions, high-density
preterminated optical solutions for the data centre environment, at the
Corning Data Centre Seminar in Eindhoven on September 29.

The conference in Eindhoven continues the 2009 Corning Data Centre
Seminar series, which will also visit the United Kingdom (London, Oct. 15).

The Eindhoven Corning Data Centre Seminar will gather professionals
involved in the design, operation and management of data centres. Corning
Cable Systems will be joined by other prominent vendors in a series of
presentations to address critical issues facing today's IT managers, from
next-generation data centre design to energy-efficient, future-proof
solutions for data centres.

In its interactive product fair, Corning Cable Systems will showcase its
Pretium EDGE Solutions, which allow for up to 35 percent faster deployment;
enable up to 25 percent faster moves, adds and changes (MACs); and offer up
to 100 percent more density than traditional preterminated solutions.

Enabled by Corning(R) ClearCurve(R) multimode fibre 
(http://www.corning.com/clearcurve/index.aspx), Pretium EDGE Solutions 
feature preterminated and tested multi-fibre assemblies, or trunks, with a 
minimum bend radius as small as five times the outer diameter of the cable, 
compared to 10 times in traditional trunks. Pretium EDGE Solutions trunks are 
an average of 30 percent smaller than traditional trunks.

The cable can be more tightly routed around corners and bends, and extra
slack can be coiled without causing attenuation that may adversely impact
system performance. Pretium EDGE Solutions interconnect cables offer a
minimum bend radius of up to eight times the outer diameter, meaning more
cables can be routed and stored in the same amount of space without
interfering with initial installation or MACs.

Pretium(R) EDGE Solutions Housings are available in both 1U and 4U sizes
and mount in 19-inch racks or cabinets. When combined with Pretium EDGE
Solutions trunks and jumpers, they provide an industry-leading LC connector
termination density of 576 fibres within a single 4U housing. Pretium EDGE
Solutions Housings contain 12 individually sliding trays that can accommodate
as many as four 12-fibre LC modules or four 24-fibre MTP(R) Connector panels
per tray. The trays allow for improved finger access of connectors and offer
individual access without compromising the optical connectivity of other
ports.
