Space Saving options
are available
Panduit 28 AWG Category 6 and
Category 5e patch cords offer a
significant space saving benefit
over traditional 24 AWG patch
cords. Figure 1 illustrates the space
savings realised when Panduit 28
AWG patch cords are routed to 48-
port switch line cards.

Containment & Pathways
Panduit provides the best methods
to route and manage the growing
amount of data and power cabling
while ensuring high levels of network
performance through an adaptable
and simplified design that offers:
• 50 per cent faster installations
• Elimination of the need to cut
pathway sidewalls, such that
you can install or reposition
intersections and snap-on
waterfalls anywhere along the
length of the pathway – where you
need them, when you need them.
Pre-Terminated Copper and
Fibre Cabling Systems
An integrated approach to
deploying and managing the
network infrastructure is critical.
Panduit pre-terminated copper
and fibre capabilities connect
server, storage, and network
devices with superior performance
and scalability while eliminating
the need for on-site bundling,
terminating, and testing, resulting in
up to 75 per cent faster installation
than field-termination methods.
The Panduit HD Flex fibre cabling
system is purpose-built to provide
serviceability and manageability
in next-generation data centres,
helping to reduce latency and
minimise risk during moves, adds
and changes, enabling DC staff to
ease and speed deployments and
promote compatibility across the
connected infrastructure.

Energy Efficient Cabinets
Panduit Net-Access cabinets
provide a cost effective cabinet
platform for server, network, and
pre-configured applications with an
innovative design that offers:
• Up to 5 per cent improvement in
RU utilisation through improved
out-set cable entry.
• Up to 10 per cent improvement
in RU through zero-RU vertical
patching.
• Up to 15 per cent increased
server capacity through
maximised RU utilisation.
With improved cabinet sealing,
in-cabinet ducting, containment
and monitoring, the results reveal
improved energy efficiency by up
to 40 per cent when the set point
temperature is raised in the entire
data centre.
Offered in a variety of widths,
heights, and depths, Net-Access
cabinets can be specified for a
variety of applications in any
facility to meet the diverse
application needs of today’s
colocation and cloud hosting
provide data centres.
