Draka Communications Americas unveils data center fiber cables
APRIL 26, 2010 -- Draka Communications Americas has released a new series of fiber-optic cables designed to support the efficient operation of high-speed data centers. Draka's new Micro Fiber Cable (MFC) product is a non-preferential bend, plenum-rated cable fully compatible with MPO-style multifiber connectors. The MFC incorporates color-coded 250 micron fibers designed to support efficient ribbonization/connectorization practices without the challenges posed by tight buffered cables.
The MFC series of cables covers a fiber counts from 12 to 72 fibers.
Draka's Communications Americas MFC series can use Draka's 850-nm laser-optimized 50-µm bend-insensitive multimode fiber for 10-Gbps applications, MaxCap-BB with Bendbright technology. Recently, Draka Communications Americas announced that these bend-insensitive multimode fibers will be the default standard offering for all 50-µm products.
"The MFC cable design along with Draka's bend-insensitive multimode fiber is a significant value proposition for the data center manager and operator," states Jack Rosko, market manager for private networks.
Draka's new plenum rated data center cables are designed and tested to Telcordia Technologies GR-409 CORE and ANSI/ICEA S-83-596-2001.
