Latin America. More optical fibers, less wiring work is the watchword of Reichle & De-Massari, R&M, which expands its range of multifiber cable assemblies for data centers and building backbones in line with this principle.
The company now introduces an expanded cable splitter for up to 288 fibers, the D29 Big Divider, which complements the Netscale family of assemblies. Netscale is the world's highest fiber optic and port density fiber distribution platform for 100GbE networks.
R&M solves a current dilemma with the D29 Big Divider. Network technicians and installers urgently need to increase the density of fiber optic cabling. They have to accommodate more and more cables and fibers in racks, distributors and gutters. This is the only way to keep pace with the growth of data transmission. Space, time and budget remain limited.
Pre-terminated, compact multifiber cables for backbone networks help solve the dilemma. They make the most of the available space and are quick to install. The decisive factor is to divide the fibers reliably in the place where they leave the cable harness. To this end, R&M has developed a new cable divider for up to 288 fibers. Doubles the capacity compared to the previous high-end model. The cross section of the coating has been increased by only six millimeters.
Just one more cable
With the D29 Big Divider, users can create twice as many links in a single operation in the same time as before. Now you just have to introduce a cable where before two multifiber cables with a splitter were needed.
R&M offers the D29 for all types of Netscale assemblies, whether harness or trunk cables, with all the usual connector types and combinations. Customers specify cable types, connector types and fan lengths to suit their needs. R&M factories finish and test multifiber cables in optimal conditions, according to the company's strict standards. The sets are available ready for use worldwide.
The D29 Big Divider is suitable for backbone and harness wiring in racks with high-density Netscale distributors. The D29 assemblies can be combined with operational R&M platforms already installed and fit into commercially available 19" racks. By default, the maximum traction force in the fan box is greater than 600 Newtons. The D29 has an installation length of about 133 millimeters, of which about 52 millimeters are flexible stress relief sleeves. The range of cables meets the requirements of the CPR Cca fire protection classification.
The slim form factor with a compact screw attachment means that use is possible in many areas. This includes edge and colocation data centers, as well as industrial, campus, and building networks. Multifiber cable assemblies with the D29 Big Divider also contribute to fiber density and efficient use of space at major distributors of telecommunications and Internet providers.
