Harsh Environment Network Solutions | Corning

To ensure our products are suitable for the extreme conditions and rigorous standards found in industrial applications, all of our Low-Smoke/Zero-Halogen™ (LSZH) Cables are independently tested to meet or exceed the requirements for tray-rated copper cabling with reliable and rugged performance.

Corning’s tray-rated cables provide advantages that not all cabling media can provide.

Our LSZH tray-rated cables are noise free, so no electronic noise can interfere with or disrupt data transmission. Additionally, customers are able to avoid the grounding requirements necessary with copper systems.

The glass in our optical cables is non-conductive, and our cables offer crush and impact resistance without the use of conductive armouring that requires grounding.

Installation of optical cable has continued to become easier, and our LSZH tray-rated cables can be deployed in an industrial network up to 50 percent faster than legacy methods.

In addition, our cables enable much longer cable runs than in copper-based networks; for example, our cables are guaranteed to provide one Gigabit Ethernet throughput for at least 1000 metres, so no repeaters or amplifiers are needed.

Our tray-rated cables were specifically designed for the unique requirements of industrial
applications.

This includes a higher fibre count per cable for greater flexibility, one product set for both indoor and outdoor applications to provide a single resource for an entire facility’s needs, multiple cable jacket types created to meet specific needs, and special print to designate a tray-rated product.
