The compact and flexible cable design improves handling and in conjunction with bend-optimised fiber, provides a significantly reduced bend radius. This simplifies the installation process and greatly reduces the space consumption within fiber containment and equipment cabinets. MTP link assemblies longer than 10 m are supplied on a packaging reel which allows the cable to be directly installed without special equipment or re-reeling on site. Packing density without limitations In high density applications where access to the MTP connector is limited or obscured, HUBER+SUHNER recommends using a retrofittable «push-pull» clip with a built-in extension finger at the rear (see page 55). 12 HUBER+SUHNER Data center MTP® 12 fiber link assembly MTP-12 female to MTP-12 female, link assembly, elite, polarity A Length, m Item no.

They generally make the final connection to active equipment ports. A standard 1 m tail length can be used as a generic solution for all 19 inch horizontal blades. Ruggedised fan-outs offer a much cleaner presentation of fibers in high density switching environments and because of their compact size and construction, they reduce the possibility of blocking airflow to equipment. Short length assemblies (for direct connections to equipment) are configured with a male MTP connector because they are connected to a female backbone/horizontal cable. However, in some cases, it may be preferable to eliminate this connection and harness a longer assembly directly back to the MDA. In this case, a female MTP connector is used to correspond with the male connector positioned in the MDA. Long length assemblies reduce some of the overall flexibility but offer the user increased headroom across the complete link. The integrated mounting slot facilitates easy and robust fixation of the furcation housing either under or to one side of the equipment.

The cables are constructed with either 12 fiber sub-unitised ruggedised bundles or, on demand, 24 fiber depending on the MTP connector that is applied. This construction of cable is extremely strong because each sub-unitised bundle is strain-relieved with kevlar and then jacketed. The sub-units are not only strong but extremely flexible too and this is an advantage when connecting this type of cable system directly to multi-fiber transceivers in equipment racks. The MTP SMARTLINE optipack also benefits from an integrated ripcord that can be used to lengthen the furcation length on-site. This can be a useful function depending on the type of rack and the height position of the equipment being connected. 22 HUBER+SUHNER Data center SMARTLINE optipack 48 fiber (female 4 × 12 fiber) MTP-12 female to MTP-12 female, elite, polarity A, fan-out length 2 m Length, m Item no.

Due to the extremely compact micro cable design, this cable system is at least 40 % more space efficient than conventional cable systems. In conjunction with bend-optimised fibers, the MTP MASTERLINE is flexible and well-suited to tight working conditions and rack spaces. In addition to high-performance fiber types, the MTP MASTERLINE system benefits from MTP elite connectivity across the range. All cable systems are supplied on robust plastic (zero debris) cable reels which not only prevent contamination of equipment but also speed up and simplify the installation process dramatically. Furcation tails are protected with a flexible pulling sleeve which aids installation and prevents any on-site damage to connections. The protection sleeve also offers long-term protection in cases where the MASTERLINE is stored under computer floors prior to use. For advice on how to install MASTERLINE systems into our HUBER+SUHNER fiber management portfolio or advice on different tail length possibilities, please contact your local HUBER+SUHNER representative.

Our aim is to produce patch cords that add value to our customers either by reducing the cable size, enhancing performance or improving the overall usability. In high density applications, customers can choose the innovative LC-XD connector that reduces cable bulk and speeds up the patching and re-patching process. Our unique «push-pull» LC design was the first major step in revolutionising the standard LC. With this major advancement, customers no longer need to limit their cabling designs to the restrictions of standard connectivity. LC-XD uniboot The LC-XD uniboot is designed to be used for the highest packing density. The connector has an innovative push-pull mechanism which allows efficient handling even in the smallest of spaces. Another feature is the ability of adjusting polarity without having to use any tools. LC-Classic The LC classic connector from HUBER+SUHNER is on the industry standard simplex or duplex LC which has a clip on the top face of the shroud for engaging the connector key mechanism. Unlike the XD type, the classic requires full finger access to the clip and subsequently is not optimised for environments where high packing density is required. 28 HUBER+SUHNER Data center Duplex patch cord Duplex patch cord, LC Classic to LC Classic, UPC, duplex cable 2 × 1.8 mm Length, m Item no.

The standard polarity of patch cords supplied by HUBER+SUHNER is «A–B/B–A» because although the cable is straight, the position of the fibers in the duplex connector is different at each end. When designing an array based link using 12-fiber ribbon cables, it is important to note that a pair-wise flip has to be integrated at one end of the link. However, if the link is designed using the HUBER+SUHNER cross-connect racks then it will not be necessary to use two different types of patch cords. In this instance, a A–B/B–A patch cord can be used everywhere (i.e. within the crossconnect rack and also at each end of the link). Please contact HUBER+SUHNER if you require A–A/B–B patch cords. 30 HUBER+SUHNER Data center MTP® patch cords Characteristics • Ready to use «plug & play» cable system • Round cable construction • Small outer diameter of 3 mm for 12 fibers (3.6 mm for 24 fibers) • Low smoke and free of halogen (LSFH™) • MTP high-performance connectivity • All fiber types and performances available • 12 fiber MTP and 24 fiber MTP connectors • Packaged on installed-ready reel for lengths > 10 m • Retrofittable «push-pull» clip for high packing density (see page 55) • Low space consumption in racks • Easy handling and routing • Fast traceability with colour coded jacket (OM4 heather violet, OM3 aqua, SM yellow) • Highest performance singlemode and multimode MTP elite connectivity • Scalable for regular moves, adds and changes Upgrading to 40G and 100G data rates MTP patch cords are used as an upgrade path from 1G and 10G legacy systems to 40G and 100G data rates. The female to male gender configuration allows the MTP patch cord to be connected at one end to active equipment (female connector) and at the other end (male connector) to a pre-existing patch panel or transition module. By removing the pre-existing MTP to LC module and replacing it with a MTP to MTP transition module, the pre-existing backbone cable systems can be utilised. 1G and 10G systems generally use a 12 fiber MTP cable system transitioning to LC connectivity at the front of the panel. However, 40G and 100G links require an 8 fiber and 20 fiber MTP connector respectively. The MTP transition module allows 12 fiber MTP links to be transitioned to either 8 fiber of 20 fiber MTPs within the module. For lengths longer than 10 m, patch cords are packaged on an installed-ready reel. For longer length equipment to equipment links, customers should choose an MTP link assembly as shown on page 12.

Incoming cables can either be fusion-spliced to pigtails inside the tray or alternatively pre-terminated MTP fan-outs can be factory installed for instant «plug & play» connectivity. This flexibility matches the fluid nature of data centers, offering the highest performance on the one hand and speed and flexibility on the other. The patch tray can be used for topologies that are in the process of migrating from LC connectivity to MTP connectivity. This product is therefore suitable in data centers moving away from 1G and 10G serial transmissions to 40G and 100G parallel optics. Centralised connectivity In its simplest form, each fiber tray inside the ODR represents a link to a remote area or zone in the data center. By connecting patch cords from one fiber tray to another fiber tray inside the same ODR, users can benefit from one centralised connectivity area. This is a much more structured approach to cabling than spontaneously running duplex patch cords from equipment rack to equipment rack. The fiber tray is available in eight colours so customers can allocate different areas in the network by colour which offers a uniquely high level of identification and traceability. 42 HUBER+SUHNER Data center Order code Singlemode Description Item no. 2-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-12 male – standard class, 12 LC duplex ports – standard class, yellow, TIA code, polarity A 84088536 2-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-12 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – standard class, yellow, TIA code, polarity A 84116087 1-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-24 male – standard class, 12 LC duplex ports – standard class, yellow, TIA code, polarity A 85019034 1-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-24 male – elite class,12 LC duplex ports – standard class, yellow, TIA code, polarity A 85019035 3-way MTP tray, 36 fiber MTP-12 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – standard class, yellow, TIA code, polarity A 85019037 Yellow tray, 12 duplex adapters, 24 pigtails, TIA colour code, heat shrink comb with protectors 1.5 × 40 mm 85019039 Order code Multimode OM3 Description Item no. 2-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-12 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – standard class, turquoise, TIA code, polarity A 84132645 3-way MTP tray, 36 fiber MTP-12 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – standard class, turquoise, TIA code, polarity A 85011331 1-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-24 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – standard class, turquoise, TIA code, polarity A 85018179 Turquoise tray, 12 duplex adapters, 24 pigtails, TIA colour code, heat shrink comb with protectors 1.5 × 40 mm 85018939 Order code Multimode OM4 Description Item no. 2-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-12 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – low-loss class, heather violet, TIA code, polarity A 84132648 3-way MTP tray, 36 fiber MTP-12 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – low-loss class, heather violet, TIA code, polarity A 85017721 1-way MTP tray, 24 fiber MTP-24 male – elite class, 12 LC duplex ports – low-loss class, heather violet, TIA code, polarity A 85017536 Heather violet tray, 12 duplex adapters, 24 pigtails, TIA colour code, heat shrink comb with protectors 1.5 × 40 mm 85019038 Order code patching tray Description Item no.

This allows adapter plates, modules and blind plates to be mixed and matched in the same panel if desired. Adapter plates are generally used in combination with ruggedised fan-outs whereby the fan-out connects to the rear side of the plate and patch cords connect to equipment ports on the front side. Blind versions of the plate are also available in situations where panel positions are to be reserved for later use. When building an MTP link, universal adapter plates are pre-loaded with MTP adapters so that incoming link assemblies can be connected with fan-outs directly to equipment ports. In 40G and 100G applications, the pre-loaded UAP will act as a patching area whereby MTP patch cords can be connected directly to multi-fiber transceivers. All universal adapter plates have recessed adapters which not only improve the bend radius of patch cords but also provide a larger surface area for port numbering and identification.

High density backbone cables from the main distribution area of the data center are terminated in the PSF and act as a consolidation point in which users can easily patch to nearby server racks. This approach follows the recommendations of various standardisation bodies who recognised the need to recommend a permanent cabling system in the data center with maximum flexibility and scalability. The PSF can be strategically placed above server cabinets so regardless of regular moves, adds and changes; the connection back to the MDA remains unchanged. The mounting brackets on the PSF are fully adjustable and can be adapted to virtually any environment or fixing platform. The frame itself is based on a 19 inch footprint and allows copper or fiber optic panels to be mounted in the available space. The PSF is available in 2U, 3U and 4U height variants so customers can decide how much capacity they need based on the panel density they are using. Generally speaking, the PSF will serve a number of server racks in close proximity. Therefore, it is not necessary to offer extreme density in such a distributor. For customers who require a higher degree of security, the PSF 4U is available with a door kit which can be locked to prevent unwanted user access.Cable guides can be added to the front of the frame or alternatively fixings in the side of the frame allow customised brackets to be mounted.

The HDBO has a total of 8 × slot positions for either cartridges or fan-outs (4 left/4 right). These slots are designed to correspond with the blade positions of the switch so that pre-connectorised tails can be routed directly from the HDBO into their respective port locations. The chassis is 600 mm deep and can be installed by one person thanks to detachable brackets which can be mounted to the rear rails of the rack before the chassis is fixed. There are two types of HDBO chassis available. Customers can choose an HDBO which facilitates a closed cartridge system or alternatively an open ruggedised fan-out approach. 58 HUBER+SUHNER Data center Cartridge system The sealed cartridge system is designed with MTP adapters presented at the rear and LC or SC fan-out tails exiting through the front aperture. This approach offers a flexible link design because MTP backbone or horizontal cables can be installed before active blades or cartridges are added. Order code Description Performance Item no.

This approach offers less flexibility than the cartridge system but provides customers with lower link losses between the MDA and switching area. Fan-outs can be supplied with any connector type but generally the LC-XD type (push-pull with extraction finger and uniboot) is recommended because even in the highest density applications, it is significantly faster and easier to add and remove connections than any other product on the market.

Curved fittings such as crosspieces, tees and elbows are specifically designed to protect fibers so that a minimum bend radius of 30 mm is maintained at all times. Components of the system include straight channels, horizontal and vertical drop-offs and non-intrusive «over-the-top exits» to equipment cabinets. Additionally, all of the necessary mounting brackets and accessories are available to provide a fast and trouble-free installation. Protective covers can also be added to individual components if a higher degree of protection is required. Lateral support and bend radius protection Unlike conventional cable baskets and ladders, the HUBER+SUHNER fiber containment solution offers lateral support along the complete fiber length. This reduces the risk of macro-bending and micro-bending of the individual cables. Easy installation The modular design of the HUBER+SUHNER fiber containment solution helps planners to meet the immediate capacity requirements of today without comprimising the expansion needs of tomorrow. Straight channels, curved fittings and interconnect components can easily be connected with standard joiners that require no special tooling or training. In addition, HUBER+SUHNER fiber containment solution is compatible with all other major brands and can easily be adapted to fit different environments and architectures. Fast installation In order to reduce installation times and simplify the complete assembly process, HUBER+SUHNER supply all duct components pre-assembled with joiners. This unique feature can reduce installation times by as much as 50 % and reduces a lot of the complexity involved in connecting straight ducts of different lengths to other components. Because a straight duct always requires at least one joiner, we assemble this in the factory so that full-length ducts can be connected in the fastest possible time. We also pre-fit the screws on the unmated side of the joiner to further improve handling and reduce installation times 60 HUBER+SUHNER Data center Main ducts and covers Order code main ducts Description Item no.

It is important to note that the higher quantity figures are based on straight ducting elements that are connected with joiners and do not represent the retrofittable top outlets. The first row however (100 mm × 45 mm), represents the useable space of a top-outlet or horizontal outlet. 40 % Expansion 60 % Capacity The cable sizes shown in the table below, reflect the various cables we use for backbone links such as MTP link assemblies, MASTERLINES and fan-outs. We have included data about patch cord sizes although we recommend that patch cords are not guided through a ducting system (only in-rack). Careful attention should be given to the capacity of the top outlets because these represent the smallest cross-section when linking two cabinets in the data center. To avoid bottle-necks, make sure that the quantity of cables per cabinet is clearly understood and planned in advance. The cable quantity table below shows an 60 % fill ratio and a 40 % expansion. We recommend that all calculations are based on these figures so as to allow for future expansion and upgrades.

The purpose of this is to ensure that fibers of the same colour/ number line up with each other when mated (using polarity type A). Some competitors use a key up to key up configuration but this is based on a different polarity method than that used by HUBER+SUHNER. Key marking To ease the connection process of MTP, a white mark is placed on the connector and the adaptor which ensures that the connector key lines up with the adaptor key when mated. Gender explanation MTP connectors are available as male (with pins) and female (without pins). A male connector must always be mated to a female connector so that light transfers from one fiber to another. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in a dark connection and possible damage to the connectors. HUBER+SUHNER supply modules, fiber trays and short fan-outs (less than 5m) with a male connector and backbone cables such as link assemblies and MASTERLINES with a female connector. Gender matching requires careful planning, especially when a customised link design is implemented. In some cases (such as links to SAN switches), it may be necessary to eliminate one of the MTP connections and route long fan-outs directly from the switch back to the MDA. In this case, a fan-out with a female connector should be used because it will be connected directly with a male connector at the fiber tray. It is possible with a special shroud removal tool to convert a male connector to a female connector and vice versa. However, this cannot be carried out in a field environment. All gender re-works must be carried out in a HUBER+SUHNER factory to reduce the risk of fiber breakage or connector damage. If you have any doubt about gender matching, please contact our technical support team for guidance. MTP performance Unless otherwise requested, HUBER+SUHNER will supply all multimode OM3 and OM4 assemblies with MTP elite ferrules. This not only ensures that optimum performance is obtained across a mated pair but also allows much longer and more complex links to be constructed without exceeding the specified optical budget. Singlemode assemblies are available with standard and elite ferrules (preferred type) depending on link design and budget considerations. It is important to note that HUBER+SUHNER supply all standard and elite singlemode connectors with a green connector shroud. We do not follow the practice of some manufacturers who prefer to use yellow for elite ferrules and green for the standard ones.

In this respect, fiber 1 is always in the same position when looking at the array connector end-on with the key up. The polarity flip is achieved using a duplex patch cord at one end of the link. HUBER+SUHNER use and recommend method A as standard because all of the array based products are straight-through and it is only the patch cords which are flipped. Duplex clips facilitate simple on-site changes to polarity because simplex connectors can be removed from the clip and swapped over. This is a far safer approach to building an array-based network and for this reason has become the method of choice. 74 HUBER+SUHNER Data center A B B A 1 12 12 1 Key Up / Key Up adaptors B A A B 12 1 1 12 Method B Method B uses key up to key up adaptors to link straight-through ribbon cables to fiber cassettes/modules. Here, the only difference between method B cassettes and method A is the adaptor. The fiber channel is completed by flipping the second cassette and re-numbering it so that a standard A-B jumper cable can be used to connect them. This method is more complex for planners than method A because fiber numbers no longer correspond with each other (e.g . fiber 1 connects to 12, 2 to 11, 3 to 10 and so on). In addition, method B does not support singlemode installations because the array connector is angled and flipping these angles produces a mismatch. $ % % $     <ĞLJƵƉ ͬŬĞLJĚŽǁŶĂĚĂƉƚŽƌƐ $ % % $     Method C Method C uses key up to key down adaptors to link cassettes/modules using a special flipped ribbon jumper assembly. In this configuration, the ribbon cable creates the flip allowing standard straight-through patch cords to be used at each end. On longer channel links where more than one array cable is used, care must be taken to ensure that the flip remains consistent thereby making this method somewhat more complex for planners than method A.

If still contaminated repeat steps once more HUBER+SUHNER Data center 77 Patch cords Cable selection HUBER+SUHNER recommend that whenever possible, patch cords should only be used for in-rack connections. This simplifies Moves, Adds and Changes (MACs) and reduces the cable chaos generated by thousands of cross-network 2-fiber connections. Generally speaking, the smallest possible patch cord cable should be used for in-rack applications so that the overall cable mass can be reduced. The introduction of bend-optimised fiber across our range means that cables with a smaller outer diameter can be utilised without running the risk of performance degradation in tight spaces. Calculating patch cord lengths in HUBER+SUHNER racks The rack can either be used as a cross-connect cabinet or as an inter-connect cabinet. When used as a cross-connect solution, high density cables enter the rack from different zones of the data center and patch cords inside the rack cross-connect these different areas. The reason for this design is to reduce the time and complexity of inter-connect systems whereby patch cords are routed spontaneously from one place to another whenever a link is needed. The patch cord management area in the rack has been designed in such a way that links from any fiber tray to any fiber tray can be made with just two different patch cord lengths. This reduces complexity and allows our customers to make much better use of their stock holding. The drawing below shows the rack segmented into two halves (the upper section and the lower section). If a connection is needed between a fiber tray in the upper section of the rack to another fiber tray in the upper section of the rack, then a patch cord of 3.5 m is required. This also applies to connections made from a fiber tray in the lower section of the rack to another fiber tray in the lower section. Generally, we advise our customers to logically split the rack top to bottom so that the majority of connections are made from the top to the bottom and not from the top to top or bottom to bottom. In this case, the length of patch cord needed is 5 m. In some cases, it will be necessary to position more than one rack together so that a higher density cross-connect can be achieved. In such cases, the patch cord lengths will need to be adjusted accordingly. The figure and table hereafter show how the various segments of the racks correspond to different patch cord lengths.

There are 3 main standardisation bodies across the world and depending on where the installation takes place, they have an order of precedence. Internationally, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is the main body for producing such standards and in support of ISO the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), produces the standards for the relevant components. In Europe, CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation) is the overall authority for the production of standards. Various national committees also exist in many of the European countries and may take their national standards from any of the main standards bodies, or may develop their own. Typically though, normative European standards (EN) are adopted by those national standards bodies. In the Americas (including Canada), the TIA is the dominant standards body, although the structure of its standards is slightly different (and in some cases conflicting) to that of ISO and CENELEC. There tends to be more harmonisation with CENELEC and ISO standards bodies, although some of the differences with TIA are only nomenclature. HUBER+SUHNER, as a global company, supplying a globally-suitable product, references International Standards as a preference. This does not mean that relevant national standards are not complied with due to local standards always taking precedence, but this is typically most relevant in the design and installation requirements rather than components that a manufacturer may supply. These main standards are listed below: ISO/IEC 11801:2002 and A.1:2008 ISO/IEC 24764 Edition 1.0 2010-04 - Information technology – Generic cabling for customer premises - Information technology – Generic cabling systems for data centers These documents also reference component standards where applicable. ISO/IEC 14763-1:1999 + A.1:2004 ISO/IEC TR3 14763-2:1999 ISO/IEC 18010:2002 + A.1:2005 ISO/IEC 14763-3:2006 IEC 61280-4-1:2009 IEC 61935-1:2008 IEC 61935-3:2008 - Information technology – Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling – Part 1: Administration - Information technology – Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling – Part 2: Planning and installation - Information technology – Pathways and spaces for customer premises cabling - Information technology – Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling – Part 3: Testing of optical fibre cabling - Fibre-optic communication subsystem test procedures – Part 4-1: Installed cable plant – Multimode attenuation measurement - Generic cabling systems – Specification for the testing of balanced communication cabling in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801 – Part 1: Installed cabling - Testing of balanced communication cabling in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801 – Part 3: Verification and qualification in accordance with ISO/IEC 15018 HUBER+SUHNER Data center 81 Glossary 82 Balanced cable A cable construction technology used in copper structured cabling systems that generally utilises 4 pairs of twisted conductors, which are "balanced" together to provide a suitable medium for data transmission when used in conjunction with suitable connectors (typically RJ45 type). Can be produced in shielded (screened) or unscreened form. The balancing ensures consistent performance on each pair. CDR Cable distribution rack – interconnects incoming and outgoing optical fiber in a controlled way. Each fiber can be connected to every other fiber within the rack by simple patching.

LSFH™ An acronym used to describe the characteristics of the standard HUBER+SUHNER cable jacket material – which stands for "low smoke and free of halogen". HUBER+SUHNER Data center MAC Moves, adds and changes – the sometimes complex process by which users, equipment and services are altered and reprovisioned. MDA Main distribution area – the area that houses the distributor used to make connections between the main distribution cabling sub-system, network access cabling sub-system and cabling subsystems (as specified in ISO/IEC 11801) and active equipment. MASTERLINE The MTP MASTERLINE cable system from HUBER+SUHNER is purpose made for high density backbone/horizontal connections between racks or zones in the data center. MCM Multi-circuit management – a type of splice tray design that allows multiple optical circuits (often 24 or 48 fibers) to be managed in a single splice tray. MM Multi mode (or multimode) – an optical technology description which is generally used in short distance communications (sub 2 km) but basically describes the method by which the light passes along the glass - by multiple "mode" or paths. Requires less precision of components to ensure alignment of the core (50 - 62.5 microns) but needs a more complex manufacturing method for the glass. MTP Mechanical transfer push-pull - an enhanced version of the MPO connector offering higher optical perfomance, repeatability and reliability. MTP link assemblies Cable assemblies using 12 fiber cable with MTP connectors terminated at either end. MPO Multi-fiber push-on – an optical connector, standardised under IEC 61754-7:2008 (multimode only) which provides an interface for up to 72 fibers in a single unit, utilising individual rows of 12 fibers in a polymeric ferrule. NGR New generation rack ODU Optimised distribution unit – sub-rack that houses fiber trays and can be front mounted to any 19 inch rack. OM1 Optical multimode class 1 – typically is only now available in the market with 62.5 µm diameter core and is the lowest bandwidth commercially available. No longer recognised by standards as suitable for installation in a DC. OM2 Optical multimode class 2 – typically is only now available in the market with 50 µm diameter core and is considered the minimum bandwidth suitable for LAN applications, but does offer extremely limited application support for any application above 1GB/s. No longer recognised by Standards as suitable for installation in a DC. OM3 Optical multimode class 3 – only available in the market with 50 µm diameter core and is now considered the minimum bandwidth suitable for LAN and Data Center applications. It is the first "laser optimised" multimode optical fiber and was developed to provide increaded bandwidth (and hence reach) for VCSEL 850 nm opto-electronnic devices, such as used in 10GBASE-SR. OM4 Optical multimode class 4 – only available in the market with 50 µm diameter core and is now considered the most future-proofed class, suitable for LAN and Data Center applications. It is the second "laser optimised" multimode optical fiber, offering more than double the bandwidth of OM3 at the critical 850 nm wavelength. OS1 Optical singlemode class 1 – this is the de-facto standard singlemode fiber and has been utilised for many years where applications need to be delivered over extended distances (i.e. >1 km). OS2 Optical singlemode class 2 þ this is often described as "low water peak" singlemode, and offers both lower attenuation and a flatter attenuation curve in the wavelengths of 1310 and 1550 nm, allowing wave division multiplexing-based applications to utilise the previously unavailable zone found between those wavelengths. Patch cord Ruggedised cable assembly with connectors on both ends used to cross-connect individual links. Can also be used to connect links to transceivers and when added to a link, create a channel. HUBER+SUHNER Data center 83 84 Pigtail Cable assembly with connector on one end; typically cable Ø 0.9 mm RJ45 Registered jack, type 45 – a term generally used to describe a 8P (8 position), 8C (8 contact) RJ-style connector, and can be gendered male of female.
