Graybar Makes Corning a VIP

April 29, 2003 |

ST. LOUIS -- Graybar, North America's largest distributor of telecommunications, networking and electrical products, is adding Corning Cable Systems to its VIP Fiber assurance program, the company announced today. The VIP Fiber program is the distribution industry's first, independent comprehensive laboratory test for multimode fiber optic cabling systems. VIP Fiber's impartial pass-fail data is designed to identify product failures, allowing Graybar to always offer customers only the best-performing solutions.

Corning Cable Systems, a leading Graybar supplier of fiber optic cable, including its LANscape® Solutions, has passed VIP Fiber's rigorous testing and certification procedures, which screen components for their performance and interoperability in advance of installation and deployment. "With the addition of Corning Cable Systems to the VIP Fiber roster of first-in-class suppliers, we can work with our customers to assure them of even greater performance reliability when purchasing and deploying multimode fiber for network offices and industrial facilities," said Dennis DeSousa, senior vice president, Comm./Data Business, Graybar.

"Corning Cable Systems' leadership in the fiber optics market gives Graybar's VIP Fiber program an even better competitive edge during this period of market growth - raising the bar for performance in providing cabling solutions for our customers deploying high-speed fiber networks," DeSousa added.
