Microarray data center cables
Superior Essex has launched a microarray
data center cables range, a line of loose
tube fiber cables designed for high-density
installations. New additions are the 24-fiber
single unit plenum cables and the 144-fiber
riser and plenum microarray breakout
cables. The new products offer customers
a full line of fiber counts and types
including plenum and riser 12 and 24-fiber
interconnect cables and 24, 48, 72, 96 and
144 fiber plenum and riser breakout cables,
all available in either TeraFlex single mode
or multimode bend insensitive OM3 or OM4
fibers.
The cables feature a small, compact design
in a high performance loose tube form and
include aramid yarns, allowing crimping
directly to the 12-fiber or 24-fiber MTP/MPO
array connectors. To provide quick and
easy installation, each cable is equipped
with a flexible, low smoke PVC plenum or
riser-rated jacket.
