Corning ActiFi® UTG40 Joins the Utility Grade Infrastructure Assurance Program

Utility Grade Infrastructure (UTG) is a smart building solution providing assurance of performance for new cabling technology that redefines the cabling infrastructure needed to provide truly future-ready commercial buildings.

UTG validates and assures performance of Class-3 hybrid composite fiber optic cable to provide guaranteed results for infrastructure supporting building subsystems, technologies and applications.

UTG40, a hybrid composite fiber optical cable, supports extended-reach applications for indoor and outdoor environments. These cables have both fiber and copper conductors under the same cable jacket to deliver data and power to the very edge of your enterprise network. Corning ActiFi® UTG40 is a Class-3 rated composite cable that supports low voltage (Class 2, 57 VDC/100 V) as well as bulk power solutions.

UTG40 Hybrid Composite Optical Fiber Cable Solution Brief

Where UTG10 and UTG20 redefined copper cabling to set beyond standards performance, Corning UTG40 hybrid composite fiber optical cable provides next generation extended reach applications.

Driving Data and Power to the Edge
Extended Distance
UTG40 hybrid cable can reach distances over 2,000 feet. This FTTE cabling choice is also ideal for long-reach or remote applications such as security cameras in a parking facility or outdoor campus-wide Wi-Fi.
Edge Devices
UTG40 hybrid cable can support devices directly or via a connection to an edge device such as a media converter or software-defined access node (SDAN).
Media Converter
The UTG40 hybrid cable connects with media converter solutions to support 90W PoE++ (HPoE) and is backwards compatible to support PoE, PoE+, PoE++ (60W) / 802.3bt. It supports 10G speeds and is backwards compatible to support 1G or 2.5G speed and is interoperable with existing manufacturers' switches.
Touchless and SD-LAN Networking
A self-provisioning fiber switch solution that leverages the UTG40 hybrid cable, harnessing a fiber- and power-deep architecture to enable simple, unmanaged applications in hard-to-reach places, with the capability for a seamless transition to a fully managed SD-LAN solution as needs evolve.
Powered Support
This cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), PoE+, and PoE++ standards, rated up to 300VAC, offering versatility in power delivery for various applications.
Indoor and Outdoor
ActiFi hybrid composite fiber optical cable supports extended reach applications for indoor and outdoor environments based on Class 2-3 zone architecture to drive data and power to the very edge of the commercial building and across longer distances for parking facilities and campus environments.
