Futureproof your business through Panduit’s physical infrastructure foundation. From optimizing your space through cabinet organization systems to supporting IP applications through innovative copper products to providing advanced bandwidth with comprehensive fiber optic systems-Panduit can provide IT solutions that meet all of your business’s needs.
Cable Management, Cabinets, Hot/Cold Aisle Containment
As IT managers are increasingly tasked with providing higher data speeds and controlling costs by maximizing return on assets, the HD Flex™ Fiber Cabling System achieves both. Panduit's HD Flex™ Fiber Cabling System is designed for optimum serviceability and manageability, enabling data center technicians to quickly and safely complete MACs while simultaneously providing the scalability to increase density as business demands evolve.
Side trunk cable management
The new design puts an end to the “cable congestion” that plagues today’s data centers, instead making cables easily accessible from the left and right sides of the fiber enclosure. This provides greater access to installed connectors and cassettes as well as the ability to add new cabling whenever necessary—even when cable density reaches peak capacity.
Front and back cassette accessibility
Cassettes can be installed from the front or the back of the enclosure. With a split-tray design, they simply slide in and are locked into place. This not only speeds serviceability and deployment, but also streamlines migrations from 10G Ethernet to 40G/ 50G/100G Ethernet, when cassettes are replaced with fiber adapter panels.
Convertability
Enclosures and panels can be converted to support either 6-port or 12-port cassettes and adapters. This gives you the maximum freedom to deploy any network architecture, fiber infrastructure, network type, either duplex or parallel.
Split-Tray Design
The HD Flex™ Fiber Cabling System provides a safe, easy-to-manage environment that allows you to adapt your data center to ever-changing demands. The split-tray design enables you to move only half of your fiber connections, providing greater access to both connections and cassettes without impacting nearby circuits. Cassettes can be installed and removed by dropping-in or pulling out vertically – this allows cassettes to be serviced without disturbing adjacent cassette patch cords.
The PatchRunner™ 2 Enhanced Vertical Cable Manager with Vertical Patching is primarily used in locations such as Data Centers, Colocations and Telecommunication Rooms in a variety of industries. As specific requirements and needs emerge within your network infrastructure, Panduit has developed a high-capacity solution that will encourage the ability to expand while being as efficient with your network equipment as possible.
The PatchRunner™ 2 provides a comprehensive architecture that provides maximum capacity, efficiently organizes cables, and ensures continuous coherent performance.
The PatchRunner™ 2 Enhanced Vertical Cable Manager with Vertical Patching features include:
Net-Access™ N-Type cabinets are ideal for network applications as these cabinets come standard with tapped, front non-adjustable and rear adjustable equipment rails to accommodate switch applications. The top of cabinet includes molded edge protection and snap-in covers, and pre-installed in cable entry openings to prevent air leakage. N-Type Cabinets are manufactured with a welded and assembled steel frame and are available in multiple widths, depths and RU heights.
Standard N-Type Features:
Reclaim underutilized cooling capacity, reduce energy expense, and reduce OpEx by retrofitting your existing data center with a versatile containment system. The system includes an independent support structure, sliding doors, vertical blanking panels, and roof structure. This flexible offering can be configured for Hot Aisle and Cold Aisle containment and allows the addition of cabinets of varying sizes and design as needed, reducing deployment time and capital investment.
Reclaim Cooling Capacity – By retrofitting this system into your existing data center, you can optimize the separation of hot and cold air, enabling higher per cabinet density, reclaiming 10% of existing cooling capacity.
Reduce Operational Expense – Containment reduces cooling energy consumption by as much as 40%.
Reduce CapEx – With the Net-Contain™ Universal Aisle Containment System you can build a containment system and then add cabinets of varying sizes and design as your needs dictate, reducing time and capital investment.
