Utilized to connect two or more buildings together, it is a recommended UTG best practice to install single-mode optical fiber for inter-building environments.
Corning is proud to join Anixter as a convergence partner within its Utility Grade Infrastructure (UTG) program!
Corning’s UTG solutions provide a common infrastructure platform optimized for operational technology and high-performance applications. As part of the UTG connected architecture, the following convergence zones identify the most common environments fiber will be utilized within and around the building:
Inter-Building Convergence Zone (Building-to-Building)
Inter-Building Convergence Zone (Building-to-Building)
Intra-Building Convergence Zone (Floor-To-Floor)
Intra-Building Convergence Zone (Floor-To-Floor)
Utilized to connect two or more areas or floors within a building, it is a recommended UTG best practice to install laser-optimized multimode optical fiber for intra-building environments.
Extended Edge Convergence Zone (Powered)
Extended Edge Convergence Zone (Powered)
Utilized to extend the distances of devices on the network beyond the standard distances of traditional cabling solutions. It is a recommended UTG best practice to install combined optical fibers for connectivity and copper conductors for power as a common cable.
