Corning

Corning has been making glass since 1851, but its place in networking dates from 1970, when its researchers produced the first optical fibre clear enough to carry light far enough to be useful for telecommunications. That single result is what made long-distance optical transmission practical, and the company has stayed at the centre of the industry it started, supplying optical fibre, cable, connectors, hardware and the transceivers and assemblies that terminate them. Its products sit in carrier networks, data centres and in-building cabling worldwide. Tech-Star supplies new and refurbished Corning hardware including gigabit optical transceiver modules and optical assemblies. Refurbished Corning optics remain in demand because equipment of a given generation accepts the modules it recognises, so matching the original part is usually simpler than qualifying a newer substitute.
