Patch Location Rack COMFORT
Reliability and ease-of-use combined with high packing density
The demands placed on cabling are constantly growing: space is the most valuable and also the scarcest resource in data centers, and cooled space is the most expensive. That is why it is becoming increasingly important to move as much cabling as possible out of standard server cabinets. In its place, operators are turning to space-saving cabling racks that can be tailored to each specific application. One example of these is the Patch Location Rack COMFORT. This can be installed on data center walls and saves space due to its limited depth. The convenient front access permits secure, efficient working operations. Installation times for modifications and extensions are minimized.
The Patch Location Rack COMFORT is packed with innovations. Enhanced security due to the lockable panel. “Tidy" and space-saving folding door (with lock as an option). Panel design with innovative anti-stress cable routing. UHD distribution panel for up to 576 fibers and hybrid UHD splice panel for up to 288 fibers. Maximum capacity in single rack up to 4608 MDC or SN® connectors and up to 2304 LCC duplex connections. It can be used as a transfer point for network transitions (meet-me rooms), e.g. in colocation data centers.
Features
- Single rack or double rack
- With lockable doors that take up little space even when open
- Rear mounting level according to ETSI standard
- Flexibly positionable cable supports
- Patch cables in the double rack do not have to be routed (threaded) past door stiles
- Perfectly matched to pre-assembled PreCONNECT® trunk cables
- Can be set up in the patch location as back-to-back or in a row
- Space- and energy-saving installation outside cold aisles
Benefits
- Significant increase in port density over the same data center surface area compared to conventional 19” cabling racks
- Efficient, convenient operation coupled with high density and doors
- Greater security thanks to lockable panel and folding door
- Makes use of installation spaces outside of the cost-intensive cold aisle
- Secure due to minimally invasive work operations without impacting on neighbouring connections
- Innovative anti-stress cable routing
