Corning Cable Systems Continues Innovation in its LANscape Industrial Solutions Product Portfolio
Hickory, NC, March 20, 2009 – Corning Cable Systems LLC, part of Corning Incorporated’s (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, announces continued innovation in its LANscape® Industrial Solutions product line with the introduction of the Industrial Connector Housing (ICH) and the Industrial Splice Housing (ISH) families. Ideal for manufacturing and industrial applications, both housings are reliable and durable additions to Corning’s all-optical, tip-to-tip industrial solutions.
Corning Cable Systems’ ICH family is designed to accommodate conduit with either concentric knockouts (standard version) or rubber grommets (upgraded version), and both options accept standard LANscape Solutions connector panels and connector modules. Splicing is accomplished with the splice tray holding kit that may be ordered separately. The units have a padlock-capable outer door and a separate inner door that protects the provider side of the unit from unauthorized access. The inner door may also be locked by using an optional key lock.
The standard ICH is IEC IP64 rated, with a tough, baked-on, smooth black powder-coat finish. The upgraded ICH is IEC IP66, IP67 and IP69K rated, with a tough, baked-on, smooth silver-gray powder-coat finish and a reduction washer kit included.
Corning Cable Systems’ ISH family is wall-mountable for transition splicing between cable at the building entrance or pigtail splicing, providing storage and protection of fiber splices in individually accessible trays. The units have a padlock-capable outer door. The ISH is designed to accommodate conduit fittings with the provided plugs and reduction washer kit, and it accepts standard LANscape Solutions splice trays. The industrial splice housing is also compatible with upgraded Corning Cable Systems Industrial Connector Housings.
The ISH is IEC IP64, IP65, IP66, IP67 and IP69K rated, with a baked on silver-gray powder coat finish and may be used indoors or outdoors.
LANscape Industrial Solutions combine innovative products, including fiber optic cables, connectors, and hardware and test equipment, with award-winning 24-hour technical support and engineering services.
