Security cameras across a parking area, blanket Wi-Fi throughout a campus, and access controls around a perimeter are just a few examples of technologies that test the 100-meter distance limitation of Category cable networks. These network limitations lead to maxed-out pathways, space constraints, and costly local power outlets. Enabling these seemingly simple devices often takes a network deployment that can be quite complex.
Corning’s portfolio of unmanaged, long-reach solutions can provide the cost-effective, “set it and forget it” connectivity you need at the edge. We provide two unmanaged solutions: 10G HPoE Media Converters and an end-to-end Touchless Networking Solution.
Enable remote applications beyond 2,000 ft.
10G 90W HPoE Media Converter
Corning’s new 1-port media converter solution is the industry’s first cost-effective media converter to support both 10G speeds and provide HPoE. It is compatible with Corning’s end-to-end fiber, power hardware, and connectivity solutions and is also interoperable with existing copper or fiber switches. This cost-effective solution reduces network deployment costs by 45% compared to alternate media converter solutions.
Key Specs
- Supports 90W PoE++ (HPoE) and is backwards compatible to support PoE, PoE+, PoE++ (60W) / 802.3bt.
- Supports 10G speeds and is backwards compatible to support 1G or 2.5G speeds
- Allows for deployment flexibility with DIN-rail mounting and small form factor
- Interoperable with existing copper or fiber switches

Touchless Networking Solution
Corning Touchless Networking is a self-provisioning network that leverages the benefits of a fiber- and power-deep architecture to enable simple, unmanaged applications in hard-to-reach places.
Touchless Networking is ideal for projects with phased budgets or future technology needs because it can seamlessly upgrade to a fully-managed software-defined LAN (SD-LAN) solution without rip-and-replacing the network. Simply activate the platform-as-a-service to turn this “set it and forget it” network into a fully-managed SD-LAN solution that can adapt to more complex networks like WLAN (multiple SSIDs) or audio/visual applications.
Our touchless networking solution creates a simple to deploy optical based network by combining our ActiFi® Composite Cable, Intelligent Power Solutions, Optical Switches into and easy to deploy kitted solution
Case Study
A sports stadium needed to connect 48 remote, outdoor security cameras but had limited local power options. They leveraged Touchless Networking and saved 50% on their network deployment compared to a legacy Category network. With this future-ready capability in place, they can seamlessly upgrade to a fully-managed SD-LAN solution to add day-two applications such as outdoor Wi-Fi.
