By: Reichle & De-Massari “In today's data center, agility is key and any new cabling solution should simplify the job of the data center administrator rather than complicate it. We have identified that space savings, ease of assembly and the ability of the system to scale up to even 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet standards are now seen as essential criteria for physical infrastructure solutions. The newly developed HD MPO system satisfies all these requirements,” The core product is the HD MPO Module, a tray for coupling multi-fiber connections. The system facilitates the setup of high-density cabling systems for top-performance data networks with parallel-optical connection technology. Consequently, data centers can introduce 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or even 40 and 100 GbE as a bandwidth to connect the fastest servers and switches to each other. The components, particularly the HD MPO Module, are installed using rapid assembly techniques. No tools are required to insert them into the subracks. With MPO Modules, as many as 96 fibers can be connected in a single height unit in a 19" rack and as many as 288 fibers in three height units. In addition, R&M carries adapter plates that serve as compact patch panels to accommodate as many as 1152 fiber connections in one 19" height unit. In extreme cases, the new solution from R&M needs up to 96 percent less space than conventional cabling systems. That means data centers can make more intensive use of their valuable operating space. R&M has devised a totally new method for light guidance in a cabling link. It renders complicated polarity reversal in connectors superfluous. Network planning becomes easier as a result. The times needed for installation are also reduced. The only task required for upgrading the cabling to operate 40/100 GbE is to replace the modules with adapter plates in the rack. The trunk cabling remains lying in the raised floor or in the cable run and is then simply plugged in again. The Swiss cabling specialist supplies the modules, the trunk cables and the patch cords pre-terminated if need be. A data center can configure them in accordance with its own individual plans and fit them with different plugs and adapters. A typical configuration involves LC Duplex connectors on the front side for patch cabling and MPO ports for multifiber connectors on the trunk side. R&M subjects pre-terminated components and especially multifiber connectors to tough quality checks employing the strictest parameters in the world.
