PreCONNECT^® STANDARD - high fibre-count and modular plug and play fibre optic cabling system

Most cost-effective solution for trunks larger than 24 fibres and long lengths

PreCONNECT^® STANDARD products are a holistic structured fibre optic cabling solution. In 1991 Rosenberger OSI already introduced high fibre factory assembled fibre optic trunk cables to the market. PreCONNECT^® STANDARD was the first high fibre  modular  plug and play fibre optic cabling system developed and manufactured in Europe for the fields of application in data centres, office and campus buildings.

Fields of application:

Infrastructure cabling within data centres, office buildings and campus

• Universal to use fibre optic cabling system up to 144 fibres per trunk
• Cost and attenuation optimised
• Focused on a practical and necessary approach

Further information about the different applications can be found in the product information.

Properties of individual system components

PreCONNECT^® square-interfaces:

Rosenberger OSI introduced high-fibre-count factory assembled fibre optic trunk cables to the market in 1991. PreCONNECT^® STANDARD was the first high-fibre-count, and modular „plug and play“ fibre optic cabling system developed and manufactured in Europe. 

Both cable ends of the PreCONNECT^® STANDARD trunks are molded within the cable dividers and assembled with „standard-stepped“ connector legs. The „standard-stepped“ connector legs fit for all PreCONNECT^® panel systems.
The PreCONNECT^® cable divider is a splice-less ferrule to separate the fibres of loose tube cables. It is one of the mechanically and thermally most robust cable dividers for loose tube cables at the smallest diameters. With its integrated PreCONNECT^® square interface, the cable divider can be tool-free hooked into PreCONNECT^® panels for tensile and torsion resistant fixing of the trunks.

Installation protection:

The connector legs and cable dividers are equipped with 600 N tensile strength, crush resistant, kink and torsion resistant, installation tubes. Alternatively indoor IP50 dustproof or outdoor IP67 waterproof deliverable.

Connector types:

With all common connector types deliverable, mostly used:

• LC-Compact
• MDC
• SC-Duplex
• E-2000^®
• MTP^® see product informations PreCONNECT^® OCTO and PreCONNECT^® DUODECIM

Connector data, see separate connector data sheets.

Coding/polarity:

The connector legs are alpha numerical uniquely coded. The standard coding/polarity is „channelwise crossed“ (pairwise flipped) for full-duplex transmission systems – A1 to B1, A2 to B2, etc. On request „uncrossed“ deliverable.

Trunk cable types:

PreCONNECT^® STANDARD trunks are deliverable with all common loose tube cables up to 144 fibres, mostly used:

• Indoor cable I-B(ZN)BH
• Universal cable U-DQ(ZN)BH
• Outdoor cable A-DQ(ZN)B2Y

Cable data, see separate cable data sheets 

• Fibre types: with all common fibre types deliverable. Bend-insensitive fibres standard
• Fibre data, see separate fiber data sheets

Length definition:

• Order length = length between the connectors of the longest legs at both sides, not between the PreCONNECT^® cable dividers.
• Possible order lengths: from 5 to 2000 metre

Operating temperature range: Climate class C „indoor, controlled environment“ acc. to IEC 60753-1, -10°C to +60°C

Delivery form:

• Dependent on the length as cable ring or on cardboard or wooden drum
• Insertion loss and return loss measured acc. to IEC 61300-3-4, method B, MM 850/1300 nm and SM 1310/1550 nm, with measurement protocol
• Product label with serial number at both sides

Patch Location Rack:

Applications:

• High-density data centre infrastructures
• For the construction of ultra-high-density data centre patch locations

Properties:

• Innovative, restriction-free cable management system
• Rack pillars with integrated cable managers to prevent interference with cable routing
• The covers of the cable managers fold in both directions and are completely removable
• Individually selectable feedthroughs in the sides and rear walls of the large volume cable channel for simple vertical and horizontal cable routing
• Professional routing of large cable volumes from the patchfields and storage of cable overlengths in the vertical cable managers
• Particularly suitable for fibre optic cables thanks to the use of cable clips (L-fingers) and finger slots:
  - The rounded L-fingers ensure that the cables are extremely well protected against bending and kinking even when subject to strain.
  - The L-fingers do not have any sharp edges and are extremely strong and resistant to breakage.
  - Because there is plenty of space for them in the large finger slots, the cables are neither squeezed nor kinked.
  - The L-fingers retain the cables in the finger slots whenever you need to work with the covers folded back or removed.

Material and Color: Powder-coated steel, RAL 9005 (black)
Optional: 19” Intermediate Rack for the construction of rack rows with uneven numbers of racks on request
