EDGE™ Rapid Connect Solutions

Install Trunk Cables up to 70% Faster

Install Trunk Cables up to 70% Faster

Corning’s EDGE™ Rapid Connect is a rugged, high-density cabling solution optimized for fast, reliable interconnections.

It’s designed to accelerate data center interconnect (DCI) deployments with ultra‑high fiber counts and is now available in lower counts (144F–288F) too. Whether you’re linking data halls or deploying point-to-point connections in challenging environments, the compact, plug-and-play design delivers across a range of applications.

EDGE™ Rapid Connect combines a compact, rugged pulling grip with staggered, preterminated MTP®-brand MPO-style connectors  to simplify installations. The pulling grip lets cable bundles move easily through tight conduits, and once removed, the connectors plug directly into hardware for fast deployment. Designed for versatility, the solution supports outdoor, indoor/outdoor, and indoor environments.

Let Corning help design an EDGE™ Rapid Connect Solution that is right for you!
