New Cabling Concepts for Computer Centres: Simple, flexible connections, using Dätwyler Cables´ pre-assembled Unilan trunk cabling solutions

Hannover (ots) - Copper and fibre optic cables are increasingly
laid in cable ducts and trays above the racks in server and computer
centres with air and water cooling realized via the double floor. To
ensure that these installations are as neat, flexible and economical
as possible, Dätwyler Cables not only offers pre-terminated fibre
optic trunk cables as part of its computer centre infrastructure
solutions, but has also recently added special copper trunk cables to
its product range. These consist of six bundled 1 and 10 Gigabit
Ethernet-compatible AWG 23 data cables or multiples thereof. The
cables are factory-labelled, come in custom-made lengths and are
equipped with different connectors as required; these include RJ45
modules, Cat.7/7A plugs (PS GG45 and PS TERA) or multiple-contact
plugs.

The new Dätwyler cabling solutions can be laid and installed
easily, and create a neat cabling arrangements, particularly in
computer centres. The copper and fibre optic trunk cables are far
easier to document and manage than many individual cables and are
better protected against damage. By making use of pre-assembled
bundles laid in cable trays and ducts, possible rearrangement, repair
work and extensions can be carried out by the user's own staff, i.e.
without commissioning an outside company.

As the distribution and termination of high-density fibre optic
cables in distributor boxes and on IT racks has up to now been a
complex and space intensive task, Dätwyler Cables now offers its
pre-terminated loose tube cables with between 48 and 144 fibres with
a new, two-stage FO distributor concept. This enables a simpler, more
compact installation, and far clearer cable routing.

Dätwyler's range of cable trays and cable support systems ensure
neat and orderly cabling. The cable trays can be attached directly on
top of the racks and cabinets or suspended from the ceiling. Where
suspension options are limited, extended cable trays with widely
spaced distances for attachment can be supplied. Not only are the
trays suitable for laying and inserting copper and fibre optic trunk
cables, they also have side rails for integrating Dätwyler's Ecobus
flat-cable safety system by means of flat-cable clamps, which allows
for a comprehensive, economical energy supply to the IT cabinets.
This obviates the need for additional, separate high-voltage cable
trays.

Patch panels and collection point boxes, a wide range of
pre-assembled racks and cabinets, as well as halogen-free safety
cables for general cabling of computer centres and the whole
periphery complete the computer centre infrastructure solution.
