PreCONNECT^® flexNET – flexible networking

Traditionally structured cabling with enhanced flexibility

Would you like greater flexibility in the physical layout of your workplaces? Then PreCONNECT^® flexNET is the ideal solution for you! This network solution is an extension of PreCONNECT^® isoNET.

The additional flexibility is achieved by interconnecting a passive copper consolidation point in the third-level sector. The great benefit: Completely new end-user connections become easily available at the passive consolidation point and existing workplaces can be moved. The extension and restructuring work can be performed without disrupting ongoing operations. As a result, PreCONNECT^® flexNET is the perfect response to the demands of the increasingly dynamic work processes in the office environment, in manufacturing and in building management.

The planning, installation and commissioning of the innovative, standards-compliant and passive building cabling system are undertaken by Rosenberger OSI itself or by its qualified local partners. Only high-quality components are used.

PreCONNECT^® flexNET LAN cabling system consists of:

Range of planning and installation services
State-of-the-art distribution components
Fibre optic cables pre-assembled on one or two sides with up to 48 fibres
High-quality copper cabling
Various 19” panel systems for splice or patch applications
Wall and free-standing distributors as splice and distribution variants
Wall and underfloor distributors acting as passive consolidation points
Connecting sockets and patchcords
Useful accessories

Features

End-to-end, fully harmonised and exceptionally flexible cabling system for cabling buildings and offices
Forward-looking fibre optic technology
High-quality copper cabling
Time- and cost-efficient LAN cabling thanks to the use of cables pre-assembled on one or two sides depending on local requirements to offer approx. 15% time saving at the installation site.
Standards compliant planning and implementation
Thanks to the gel-free cables, it is not necessary to clean the fibres when splicing on-site and work is therefore more efficient
The cables are available in various fire classes (CPR)
Indoor cables for permanent installation are available ex stock in the highest available fire protection class (B2)

Fields of application of the continuous LAN cabling system:

Classic structured cabling solution with more flexibility for buildings and office environments

for the increasing requirements in terms of flexibility in workplace design

Benefits

Greater flexibility in the physical layout of workplaces.
Seamless extension and restructuring during ongoing business operations, enabled by the use of passive consolidation points in the third-level close to the endpoints.
Time-saving, cost-effective LAN cabling with single and double-sided pre-assembly and cabling design created by experts.
A secure investment, as the passive components can be relocated and reused in the event of a move.

Properties of individual system components

PreCONNECT^® flexNET is a conventional cabling solution with state-of-the-art distribution components and, in some cases, pre-assembled fibre optic and copper cabling.

PreCONNECT^® flexNET at a glance:

Passive copper consolidation points in the third-level sector close to the endpoints, optimum conditions for the redesign of local space layouts, retrofitting is performed as far as possible without interruption or disruption to business operations due to the diversified local distributor structure
Glass-fibre cable products pre-assembled single-sided and double-sided, time savings of up to 15% at the installation site
Gel-free optical fibre cables, simpler splicing
Reduced-diameter optical fibre cables, forward-looking thanks to reduced cable duct occupancy to permit future expansion
MTP^®|MPO connecting cables (as an alternative to LC), reduced cable-laying work, highly compact solutions
CU cables and CU patchcords, fully harmonised components
Cables available in class B2 (CPR), currently the highest available fire protection class
Service provision from experts: Planning, production, installation and commissioning of the network solution from a single supplier. Reduced coordination effort, consistent project planning
