Corning Cable Systems Introduces Best-in-Class Optical Fusion Splicer



JUNE 2, 2006

Feature-rich OptiSplice(TM) Premier M90i Fusion Splicer includes CDS, LID-SYSTEM® Unit technology

HICKORY, N.C.- Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, introduces the OptiSplice(TM) Premier M90i Fusion Splicer, a feature-rich optical splicer with the lowest field-splice loss commercially available.

The OptiSplice Premier M90i Fusion Splicer replaces Corning Cable Systems' OptiSplice Premier iLID and M90 Fusion Splicers, combining all the features into one unit. The M90i Splicer includes core detection system (CDS) technology for fast video core alignment, while the LID-SYSTEM® Unit (a local injection and detection system) monitors light injected into the core of the fibers for precise core alignment, real-time splice optimization during fusion and extremely accurate splice loss evaluation.

The Corning Cable Systems M90i Fusion Splicer is the most advanced machine in the industry, with features such as on-board training videos, remote service capabilities via the Internet, buttonless splice process operation, an ultra-fast heat-shrink oven and graphical user interface with touchscreen.

The splicer also contains precise and durable (P&D) electrodes, which are maintenance-free, worry-free, and can reduce the average splice loss up to 50 percent when compared to standard electrodes. Permanently attached arc stabilizers guarantee both high precision and long-term durability.

The OptiSplice Premier iLID Fusion Splicer is the ideal machine for networks where
low-loss performance and high-end accuracy are critical.
