The show floor was packed. As I made the long walk around the MGM Grand to the exhibit hall, a low roar started to build. This picture doesn't do the crowd justice. ![BICSI Fall Conference](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-15434886-jpg/images/img_0958_2.jpg) ## Corning's EDGE Corning was showing off the capabilites of [LANscape® Pretium EDGETM Solutions  ](http://www.corning.com/cablesystems/nafta/en/markets_applications/lanscape/pretiumedge.aspx)and it's applications in high density data center environments. EDGE brings 35% faster installs, improves MAC work by 25%, and allows 100% more density than traditional cabling systems. This booth was always packed. ![Corning EDGE](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-15436235-jpg/images/img_0966_2.jpg) ## Going Green with 17 Free General Cable drew the crowds with their 17 FREE Halogen-Free Riser Cables. By eliminating halogens from the jacketing, overall toxicity of the cable is reduced, creating a more "green" product. The high point at this booth was their [video comparing 17 FREE to traditional cables](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ctxshi2Hho). The burn test is pretty amazing. ![General Cable 17 Free Riser Cabl](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-15437146-jpg/images/img_0979_2.jpg) ## OneReach Is A Hit Berk-Tek pulled out all the stops with their launch of a new product: [OneReach](https://www.accu-tech.com/specs/berk-tek/). OneReach is a composite Copper/Fiber all-in-one control and communications security cable. The key here is it supports PoE to extended distances. A press conference was held earlier in the day for the official launch and was a huge hit with datacom and security contractors alike. ![berk-tek onereach copper/fiber composite cable](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-15436716-jpg/images/img_0975_2.jpg)   Stay tuned for more coverage of Day 1 and 2, there's a lot to cover.
