iemon, a global network
infrastructure specialist,
has recently added a bulk
packaging option for its line of
XGLO fibre optical pigtails in the
Middle East. An expansion to its
line of LightHouse advanced fibre
cabling solutions, these 900-micron
buffered pigtails are security
packaged in a protective recyclable
container. Aligned with Siemon’s
commitment to delivering installer-
friendly solutions and protecting the
environment, this bulk packaging
option eliminates individual bags for
reduced installation time and waste. an APC-style connector option to
support passive optical networks,
CATV and FTTX applications.
Ideal for splicing applications, the
bulk fibre pigtails come in both
OM3 and OM4 multimode and
singlemode fibre types in fibre
counts of 12 for SC connectivity and
in 12 or 24 for LC connectivity. The
pigtails are available with a TIA/
EIA-598-C colour code option for
easy identification when splicing,
ensuring continuity of colour
codes throughout a cable run. The
singlemode pigtails also include The new bulk package XGLO
fibre optic pigtails exceed TIA/
EIA and ISO/IEC specifications,
including insertion loss and
return loss performance, and
offer a superior connector polish
that meets stringent Telcordia
and ISO/IEC specifications for
end-face geometry. Warranted
for 20 years when installed in a
qualified Siemon XGLO system,

Siemon launches new SkinnyPatch 6A
shielded modular patch cords
S
iemon, a leading global
network infrastructure
specialist, has announced
the addition of fully shielded
SkinnyPatch category 6A modular
patch cords to its comprehensive
line of high-performance copper
cabling solutions in the Middle East.
The new cords deliver superior
category 6A shielded performance
and feature a reduced diameter
for improved pathway fill, airflow
and increased flexibility in high
density data centre environments.
enhanced cable management
to facilitate moves, adds and
changes in tight spaces.
The overall smaller diameter
provides pathway savings in
racks and cabinets whilst
maximising airflow for improved
equipment reliability.
At the same time, the fully shielded
(S/FTP) construction of these cords
delivers superior transmission
and enhanced alien crosstalk
performance over unshielded
(UTP) cords, for deployment in
high density patching areas in
10 gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T)
switch-to-server applications. ■
With a 28 AWG stranded copper
construction that enables a
smaller cable diameter of just
5.5 mm, SkinnyPatch category
6A S/FTP modular patch cords
offer a significantly tighter bend
radius for easier cable routing and
