...is key. The high density of our MTP systems and small diameter cables mean that ducts and racks are not congested allowing for improved cooling plus, at high speed, fibre channels consume less power than equivalent data rate copper channels.

Multiplexing and demultiplexing • Multiplexing and demultiplexing • Much of the complexity in a KVM extender’s design involves multiplexing and demultiplexing the RGB (separate sync) video and various data streams (PS/2® keyboard/ mouse and se...

...to terminate loose-tube cables with 6 or 12 fibres per buffer tube. Others enable you to furcate and terminate more than 200 loose-tube cable fibres, sealing the cable sheath and providing a moisture barrier at the point of termination. These kits r...

Bend radius • Bend radius • Bending a fibre cable • One of the most important considerations when installing fibre optic cable is maintaining the minimum bend radius. Bending a fibre cable excessively may cause the optical signal to refract an...
