Corning Announces Availability of USB 3.Optical(TM) Cables by Corning
15 Abril 2014 - 9:30AM
CORNING, N.Y., April
15, 2014 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today
announced the availability of its USB 3.Optical(TM) Cables by
Corning, capable of sending up to 5 gigabits per second of data at
distances up to 30 meters.
Compatible with most USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices*,
USB 3.Optical Cables by Corning quickly and easily extend data
transmission beyond the 3-meter limitation of comparable copper
cable.
Optical Cables by Corning were introduced in
January 2013 and are now available for sale through select consumer
electronic retail channels.
Enabled by Corning® ClearCurve® VSDN® optical
fiber, the USB 3.Optical Cables by Corning are up to 50 percent
thinner and up to 80 percent lighter than comparable copper cables,
qualities that enable convenient transport. With a "zero-bend"
radius, they can withstand bending, squeezing, and tangling without
damage or loss of function, making them ideal for routing through
the harsh environment of a crowded workspace.
"With longer, thinner, and lighter cables, USB
3.Optical Cables by Corning give users the freedom to max out data
connection speeds for a more enjoyable creative workflow," said
Bernhard Deutsch, vice president, product line management, Optical
Connectivity Solutions for Corning Optical Communications. "Imagine
having your computer at your workstation and the whir of back-up
hard drives, printers, and other noisy peripherals in an entirely
different room - and still benefiting from unbelievable
transmission speeds."
USB 3.Optical Cables by Corning are ideal for
connecting today's USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices, including digital
cameras and camcorders; storage drives; digital signage and
point-of-sale systems at retail locations; zero-client computing;
smart boards in educational institutions; and remote consoles in
healthcare and industrial automation settings.
"Our cables aren't just for the creative
community," Deutsch said. "There are a host of commercial
applications that can benefit from the increased length, strength
and flexibility of USB 3.Optical Cables by Corning."
"For example, restaurants can connect order-entry
stations to USB-equipped printers located in both the bar and
kitchen areas. The system then splits out the orders, printing food
tickets in the kitchen and drink orders at the bar, resulting in
faster service and happier customers."
USB 3.Optical Cables by Corning currently
come in lengths of 10 meters with "A-to-receptacle-A"
connectors for maximum flexibility to connect devices with
different USB connector form factors, such as B or Micro B with
short adapters. They are now available online through Accu-Tech
(www.eaccu-tech.com/usb-3-optical-cables/) and Amazon
(www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JOJRF6K), starting at $129. They will
also be available in cable lengths of 15 and 30 meters later this
year.
*This cable is designed to be compatible with
devices using USB 3.0 and 2.0 interfaces, however, the USB-IF has
not yet developed a specification for optical fiber
transmission.
