“Countdown” print indicates available cable remaining on
the reel providing easier inventory management
Stackable boxes make storage more manageable
Smaller reel offerings mean smaller cable lengths than
would normally be available
Cable cutting at Corning lowers operating expenses for
our distributors and end users
Reel in a Box is Corning’s innovative packaging solution
for small reels of fiber optic cable in all inside plant ap-
plications, such as collocation data centers and wireless
projects. This packaging solution provides features that
enable our customers greater efficiencies than before.
Corning zipcord cables are designed for interconnect
applications. Two 900 μm TBII
®
buffered fibers are
surrounded by aramid yarn strength members and a
flame-retardant jacket. This cable design offers mechan-
ical durability and flame resistance that meet the require-
ments of the National Electrical Code
®
(NEC) Article 770.
