Telescent debuts 3RU module with eight retractable cable cassettes

OCTOBER 25, 2007 -- Telescent (search for Telescent) has introduced a 3RU 19-inch rack-mount module containing eight SureLink retractable cable cassettes.

These rack-mount modules are designed to significantly reduce the challenge of slack cable management for wiring closets and test and measurement systems requiring frequent reconfiguration. The need to organize excess cable lengths is eliminated by providing fiber-optic patchcords in cassette form, each cassette dispensing up to 3 meters of cable.

Rack-mountable retractable cable cassettes are available with simplex, duplex, or ribbon fiber-optic cable. The cassette design maintains a minimum bend radius of 1.5 inches for jacketed fiber and incorporates a continuous, uninterrupted length of optical fiber to ensure pristine optical transmission.

Retractable cable cassettes simplify the operation, testing, and maintenance of optical networks and improves reliability by eliminating the potential for damaging delicate fiber-optic cable, the company says.
