Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated's Telecommunications segment, has introduced its Plug & Play Universal System Integrated Trunk Module. A value-added addition to Corning Cable Systems' Plug & Play Universal System, the Integrated Trunk Module is a pre-terminated 12-fiber MTP Connector trunk assembly integrated into a Plug & Play Systems module. The trunk cable is stored in the module and pulled out and deployed to meet exact length requirements, so precise pre-planning of cable length is not required.
The Integrated Trunk Module provides a quick and convenient method for deploying and redeploying optical connectivity, and is ideal for small data centers (main distribution frame to the system equipment cabinet) or large data centers (zone distribution area to the system equipment cabinet). The module eliminates one mated pair in the channel link, resulting in a lower system link-loss.
The Integrated Trunk Module features a quick-release cable tray, which slides out and tilts for easy cable access. Excess cable slack is stored in the module for efficient cable management. The factory-terminated solution provides improved system performance, component compatibility and consistent quality.
The Plug & Play Universal System is a preterminated optical fiber cabling system that dramatically streamlines the process of deploying an optical network infrastructure in the premises environment, particularly in data center applications. The innovative system is able to be installed and operational in a fraction of the time when compared to conventional field-termination methods, significantly reducing installation cost.
Through a patented manufacturing process and innovative design, the Plug & Play Universal System has no special polarity components, avoiding the polarity problems caused by incorrect placement of modules and jumpers.
At DatacenterDynamics London, visitors will have the opportunity to evaluate the Plug & Play System at the Corning booth, as well as hear a technical presentation from Corning's Marty Anderson (Manager, Application Engineering and Field Support, EMEA and data centre solutions expert) which will highlight the three critical aspects of planning and operating a data centre from the cabling perspective, namely availability (security, redundancy and down-time); performance (bandwidth, power and cooling) and scalability (flexibility for moves, adds and changes).
DatacenterDynamics London (28-29 November) is the flagship event of the DatacenterDynamics Global Conference and Expo Series. Anticipating as many as 1,000 delegates, it will be the largest event in Europe designed specifically for those involved in the design, construction and management of data centres.
Over two days delegates are provided with a streamed choice of over 40 sessions covering a wide range of issues and technologies that affect data centre professionals. Now in their fifth year, DatacenterDynamics events are renowned for creating an environment where knowledge can be transferred and exchanged easily and memorably, and where delegates are able to learn in a practical and hands-on fashion.
