For data center managers, deploying a fiber system that can easily be upgraded to future high-density network demands is the first thing that should be considered, because network reconfiguration would spend lots of time and money. So it is essential to deploy a fiber network which is easier to upgrade to the higher data rates […]
MTP/MPO Cable
MTP-8 Solution: Future-Proof Connectivity in Data Center
In most data centers, MTP cable is widely used for high density application. MTP-12 connectivity and MTP-24 connectivity are the two common types of cabling connections, which use links based on increments of 12 and 24, such as 12-fiber trunk cables and 24-fiber trunk cables. In addition to MTP-12 and MTP-24, there is another MTP […]
Basis of Pre-terminated Trunk Cable Assemblies
Pre-terminated trunk cable assemblies provide an ideal plug-and-play solution for links between switches, servers, patch panels, and zone distribution areas in the data center. Compared with field-terminated cabling, the pre-terminated cable assemblies can accelerate the process, reduce costs and errors, and can help bring your data center online in less time. This article will tell […]
24-Fiber Trunk Cabling – A Better Solution for 10-40-100G Migration
In the data centers, tremendous amount of business data needs to be transmitted, processed and stored. Fiber optic links are vital for providing the bandwidth and speed needed to transmit huge amounts of data to and from a large number of sources. Transmission speeds at core switches are increasing and backbone infrastructures are experiencing a […]
Introduction to Polarity Methods for MTP/MPO Systems
In any installation, it is essential to ensure that the optical transmitter at one end is connected to the optical receiver at the other. This matching of the transmit signal (Tx) to the receive equipment (Rx) at both ends of the fiber optic link is referred to as polarity. For traditional cabling systems using single […]
Introduction to High-density Modular System and Cabling Options
Data center and telecommunications rooms are rapidly outgrowing their footprints to meet increasing network demands. Keeping costs low and getting higher density are always the goals of data center managers. The modular system allows for rapid deployment of high density data center infrastructure as well as improved troubleshooting and re-configuration during moves, adds and changes. […]
