Corning’s Portfolio of Long-Reach Solutions

Corning’s portfolio of long-reach solutions includes the ActiFi® Hybrid Cable, the CIP (Corning Intelligent Power) Solution, and fiber-fed devices such as the 10G HPoE Media Converters or the end-to-end Touchless Networking Solution.

10G 90W HPoE Media Converter

The media converter provides a cost-effective solution to extend individual ports to devices at the edge, as it is interoperable with existing copper or fiber switches and is compatible with Corning’s end-to-end fiber, power hardware, and connectivity solutions.

Our New FMC features two dip switches on its face, introducing new functions. The “Watch Dog” dipswitch will reset the PoE power to the powered device (PD) if it stops transmitting data for more than 300 seconds. The “Link Fault Pass-Through” (LFP) dipswitch provides link down status to the switch for both local and remote FMCs. If both dipswitches are turned off, the Gen 2 FMC will perform just like the Gen 1 version.

ActiFi® Hybrid Cable Long-Reach Flexible Cable Infrastructure

Corning’s ActiFi Hybrid Cable delivers data and power to the very edge of your network by using both fiber and copper conductors. Reaching more than 2,000 ft, this cable is ideal for Long-Reach Solutions and remote powering needs for your network.

Corning Intelligent Power (CIP)

The Corning Intelligent Power Units are compact, scalable, low-voltage power supplies (Class 2, 57 VDC/100 W) that achieve ultimate port density to deliver more power with less space.

Touchless Networking 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.

Connectivity Vision: Bandwidth and Power Where You Need It

Visually intelligent, AI-integrated cameras are cutting-edge devices, promising a holistic approach to data-driven insights and operational continuity. But these cameras, with added sensors and intelligence, require high bandwidth and power over extended distances. Learn how Corning's Long-Reach Solutions offer unlimited bandwidth and power over 2,000 ft for a robust infrastructure that supports the camera’s advanced capabilities.
