With a line of low-smoke, no-halogen pre-terminated fibre assemblies and a high-density rack-mount fibre connectivity system, Belden has extended its range of data centre solutions. Designed to meet a wide range of data centre applications and densities, FiberExpress assemblies are claimed to provide faster multi-fibre connections and switch turnups along with optimum performance.

According to the company, while providing a migration path from 10 to 40G and beyond, the assemblies enable a 100% tested factory termination and lower insertion loss. While the FiberExpress Multi-fibre Push-On (MPO) Trunk Assemblies enable migration from 10 to 40 and 100G, the FiberExpress Hydra Assemblies and Patch Cords are suited to meet a wide range of today’s networking and SAN switching environments. Such environments include MPO to LC for distributing multi-fibre connectivity and traditional LC, SC and ST applications. Engineered for maximum performance, the FiberExpress Multi-Fiber Cable Assemblies offer configurability with a variety of fibre counts and connector types.

The FiberExpress Ultra High Density rack-mount fibre connectivity system includes a wide range of pre-terminated cassettes and field-terminated frames to support high-density fibre connectivity needs, while offering migration from current 10 to 40 and 100GbE applications. By using the system, it is possible to combine fibre, copper and multimedia connectivity in mixed media environments.

Andy Kuszczak product manager said: “In creating these products, we have applied Belden’s extensive industry know-how and experience to incorporate a significant number of features. This ensures that they deliver benefits that include faster installation and deployment, easier identification and better performance in terms of quality, protection and upgradeability.”
