Corning Receives Intel Certification for its underbolt Optical Cables Optical Cables by Corning launched as the first underbolt all-optical fiber cables

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, that its optical cables have been Thunderbolt certified by Intel Corporation. Thunderbolt Optical Cables by Corning are the first all-optical fiber cables for the Thunderbolt community.

Compatible with both Intel's Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 computer and peripheral connectivity protocols, Thunderbolt Optical Cables by Corning have successfully undergone a rigorous certification process that ensures they provide users with an optimal experience. In the coming weeks, Corning will make available varying lengths starting at 10 meters.

Thunderbolt Optical Cables by Corning are designed specifically for Thunderbolt technology and allow users to easily manage the demands of today's high-bandwidth applications. The electrically isolated, noise-reducing cables are up to 50 percent smaller in diameter and 80 percent lighter than comparable copper Thunderbolt cables.

Based on Intel's Thunderbolt protocol, Corning is providing a fast, innovative cabling solution designed for data-intensive connectivity, said Bernhard Deutsch, vice president, Product Line Management, Optical Connectivity Solutions, Corning Telecommunications. Thunderbolt Optical Cables by Corning empower users to quickly access and move data between devices at distances copper cables cannot.

Thunderbolt transforms the way users connect devices to their PCs, dramatically increasing data transfer rates, said Jason Ziller, director, Thunderbolt Marketing, Intel Corporation. Corning has built upon its proven innovation track record to develop a key addition to the Thunderbolt ecosystem. Corning's new optical fiber cables should help accelerate Thunderbolt adoption by enabling faster media capture, editing, and backup at distances beyond 10 meters.

Thunderbolt Optical Cables by Corning will be available in the coming months through distributors, select resellers, and online. Details on how to purchase the cables can be found on the Where To Buy section of the Optical Cables by Corning website, http://www.OpticalCablesByCorning.com.

Additionally, IDF attendees will be able to view live demonstrations related to the speed, flexibility and durability of Thunderbolt Optical Cables by Corning. These demonstrations can be seen at the Optical Cables by Corning booth #180, the Intel Advanced Technology Zone and in the IDF Thunderbolt community.

Thunderbolt is a trademark of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries.
