Sept. 6, 2001
Sept. 6, 2001--Agilent Technologies Inc. and Corning Cable Systems announced an agreement to provide the communications industry with a high-volume supply of new parallel-optics solutions.

Agilent Technologies Inc. and Corning Cable Systems announced an agreement to provide the communications industry with a high-volume supply of new parallel-optics solutions.

Under the terms of the agreement, Agilent and Corning Cable Systems will collaborate to advance the acceptance and adoption of parallel-optics technology. Both companies will work together to provide joint customers with strategic access to Corning Cable Systems' passive optical technologies and Agilent Technologies' active parallel-optics modules. In addition to aiding in the deployment of Corning InfiniCor multimode fiber and 30 Gb/s optical modules, Corning Cable Systems and Agilent will jointly market and support parallel-optics solutions.

Parallel-optics is targeted at high density interconnects for terabit switches and routers, server-to-server backplane interconnects, and low-cost SONET/SDH OC-192 very short reach (VSR) connections. Parallel-optics technology solves the data capacity and space problems inherent with copper interconnects and existing optical transceivers.

Both companies are currently shipping production volumes of their respective products.
