Huber+Suhner, a manufacturer of
components and systems for optical and
electrical connectivity, unveilled its latest
data centre solutions to the American
market at Data Center World Global
earlier this year.
At the event, the company showcased
its LISA side access system – designed
to further improve flexibility, practicality
and user-friendliness with regard to
cross-connect solutions – as well as
IANOS, Huber+Suhner’s most advanced
and adaptable fibre management system
to date.
The expanded IANOS system offering
is based on a modular cassette/
tray solution. This facilitates rapid
deployments as well as easy alterations
for best-in-class handling and scalability,
all of which are key factors in operating
data centres.
The design allows complete
customisation and configuration offerings
according to various customer needs.
Huber+Suhner has a history of
involvement in the modernisation and
future-proofing of large-scale data
centres in a multitude of network systems
around the world.
Its ‘Building Block’ technology has seen
the company upgrade outdated and
inefficient networking infrastructures
from a 10G serial to be capable of
supporting a 40G and 100G parallel
optics, a network that is modern, reliable
and future-proof.
Data centres in general face issues
including overheating, limited network
cable transmission range and reliability of
service.
These issues are directly addressed and
mitigated through the integral modular
and compact design of Huber+Suhner’s
data centre solutions reducing the risk
of system failures and maintaining a
reliable, sustainable and cost-effective
communication infrastructure.

CABLES for vehicles, IT systems, the energy sector and other application sectors must
meet continuously increasing requirements.
In order to keep pace with this development, cable manufacturers need machinery
which can produce complexly designed cables, work in an energy, raw materials and
cost-effective way and can be flexibly adapted to new production requirements.
Cable machinery developed and built by Niehoff meets all these requirements.
One example is the DSI 631 type double twist stranding machine which has been
designed for the stranding of insulated conductors into pairs and quads and the
stranding of four conductor pairs into LAN cables.
The machine is able to manufacture reliably LAN cables of all categories – even
of future generations – as well as pairs with tape shielding, bus cables and other
telecommunications cables. The DSI stranding machines system includes a lot of
additional auxiliary equipment, so that customer-specific production lines can be
created and rapidly rebuilt depending on the order situation.
