Plug&Play Concept Description
The Nexans' Plug and Play concept is specifically designed for installation in data centres where the high density, integrated patch cord guide and enhanced installation benefits of the patch panel meet the key requirements for implementation. It allows quick changes with limited down time, easy migration to other applications and a transition path to 40G.
The Plug&Play system consists of 3 subcomponents: Plug&Play modules, the MPO-MPO Pre-Term and the Plug&Play patch panel.
The modules provide the transition between the MPO-MPO Pre-Term and the active devices: the Pre-Term connects to the back of the module and inside the module the fibres are spread out towards the SC/LC connectors at the front. Modules are available in a wide variety of port counts and connector style.
Plug&Play Patch Panel Characteristics
The Nexans unique patch panel design allows to hold up to 4 MPO cassettes in 1HU of the distribution rack. Depending on the type of the module a high density of up to 96 fibre connections can be accommodated.
The new patch cord guide sits in front of the modules and allows the patch cords to be managed within the same 1 HU saving expensive rack space.
The patch cord guide also provides a labelling facility to identify connections. Additional labelling is provided by printed port numbers on the modules.
The newly developed trays slide for improved access to install new modules and to fix the MPO-MPO Pre-Term easily. The front of the patch panel can be fixed in a flush or recessed position in the rack.
The N439.2MPP is optimised for installation of the trunk MPO-MPO Pre-Term: the cable glands of the Pre-Term allow a fast and solid fixation of the cable. There is ample space inside the patch panel to organise the flexible fan-out of the MPO-MPO Pre-Term.
The N441.2MPP is optimised for installation of multiple slim Pre-Terms. The slim Pre-Terms are fixed with tie wraps.
Panels are fully painted in black for a professional look and feel.
Blank fillers (N441.2MBP) are available as separate accessories for unused positions to give a finished look.
