INTELLIGENT BRANDS // Cabling S 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, and inspected to ensure superior Siemon is always looking for new ways to provide cost savings to its customers, while also considering its ongoing commitment to protecting the environment. Not only do these bulk package pigtails eliminate individual bags for reduced labour, freight and waste, but they also provide savings over non-bulk pigtails that help its customers lower their total bill of material cost.

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 50 INTELLIGENTCIO www.intelligentcio.com
