Install Faster with Corning® GlassWorks AI™ Solutions

The fact is, if the data isn’t flowing, your data center isn’t paying its way. But with skilled labor at a premium and networks growing more complex by the minute, how can you get your data center up and running fast? With GlassWorks AI™ Solutions. From connectors that reduce mis-porting to preterminated cabling that installs up to 4x faster, pre-loaded racks delivered direct to site, and hands-on training, our one-stop service for Artificial Intelligence data centers has what you need to reduce stress and get to ROI in a flash.

Top AI companies around the world rely on Corning to create customized networks for their unique needs. We’re here to help you, too.

Cables with Flow Ribbon Technology: Enabled by Corning® SMF-28® Contour fiber, this high-fiber-count ribbon cable for high-density environments is finger peelable with color-coded subunits that can be easily accessed and routed directly into hardware without furcation, reducing cable prep time by up to 30%.

EDGE™ Rapid Connect: This rugged, high-density cabling solution is optimized for completing data center interconnects up to 70% faster than traditional spliced interconnects. Its 2-inch diameter pulling grip lets you fit more cable in existing conduits with no special process or equipment.

Corning® GlassWorks AI™ solves your data center challenges with our solutions to maximize data center density.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What role do preterminated assemblies play in accelerating installation?

    Preterminated assemblies are factory-terminated to manage polarity, polish, and inter-mateability, simplifying cleaning and testing. This approach minimizes risks, reduces labor, and accelerates the installation timeline. Engineers benefit from a plug-and-play setup that ensures rapid deployment and consistent performance across high-density networks.

  • Are there specific cable designs that reduce installation time?

    Yes, Corning cables that feature our FastAccess® Technology jacket design allow installers to simply peel off jackets by hand, reducing access time by up to 60% per cable. Ribbon Cables offer an additional advantage by enabling mass splicing of 12 fibers at a time, compared to single-fiber splicing with loose tube cables. For example, splicing a 1,728-fiber Ribbon cable takes approximately 19 hours, while the same loose tube cable would require 115 hours, highlighting substantial time and labor savings.

  • What is Flow Ribbon Technology, and does it reduce cable installation time?

    Flow Ribbon Technology is Corning’s flexible fiber ribbon structure, which allows easy routing in splice trays and housings combined with efficient mass fusion splicing. Higher fiber count cables with Flow Ribbon Technology feature finger-peelable thin-film subunits that enable direct routing into hardware without furcation, reducing cable prep time by up to 30% while also improving fiber management efficiency.

  • How does changing the order of installation improve speed?

    Traditional installations require cabling and electronics to be installed simultaneously or sequentially. By reversing this order – installing cabling before electronics – data center operators can reduce overlap and delays. This shift enables faster project execution, allowing systems to be operational sooner and accelerating profitability timelines.

  • How do our solutions address labor shortages during installation?

    With preterminated cables and compact connectors, GlassWorks AI minimizes labor needs, reducing installation time by up to 70% and streamlining deployments.
