High-density cabling systems achieve efficient and flexible wiring, supporting future upgrades.
With the deployment of 5G networks, the increasing demand for broadband, the development of IoT, and the expansion of data centers, telecommunications operators have significantly increased their reliance on fiber optic networks. Fiber optic technology provides high-speed data transmission, low latency, and high bandwidth, making it a crucial infrastructure for supporting modern communication and data transmission.
Our client is a major Chinese telecommunications operator established in 1994, providing a comprehensive range of services including fixed-line telephony, mobile telephony, broadband internet, and data communication. The cabling within their data centers has become disorganized due to evolving business and supporting equipment changes, stemming from prolonged operational use.
They intend to transform a comprehensive service access room into a benchmark facility, responding to headquarters' directives to improve maintenance efficiency, establish a high-quality fiber optic network, and meet the networking requirements of the public, government, enterprise, and wireless sectors.
The current architecture uses traditional direct connections, resulting in a large number of patch cords in the cabinet. This setup not only increases maintenance complexity and risks, but also hinders airflow within the cabinet, leading to degraded network performance and impacting business operations.
Horizontal management zones have a complex wiring structure, increasing the difficulty of maintenance and expansion. When there is a need to scale the network or adjust its layout, these existing structures may not meet business requirements, requiring extensive physical adjustments and rewiring. This increases both workload and risk significantly.
The chaotic layout of equipment in the cabinet and the lack of clear identification and management make it difficult for maintenance personnel to quickly locate and solve the problem. Unreasonable wiring and equipment placement in the server room not only affects aesthetics but also poses a security risk.
FHD-3MTP18LCDOM4A fiber cassettes are used in the cabinet with FHD-1UFCE 1U rack mount enclosure, which can accommodate up to 144 optical fibers in 1U space, realizing high-density cabling and efficient use of rack space. The backbone connections between cabinets use 144F (12F*12) MTP® jumpers to replace the original simplex fiber patch cable. MTP® jumpers integrate multiple fibers into a single jumper, reducing the number of cables and connection points and lowering the failure rate and management difficulty. High-quality MTP® connectors provide lower insertion loss and higher bandwidth, ensuring the stability and speed of data transmission, thus enhancing overall network performance.
The modular design of FHD® products provides robust flexibility, facilitating network expansion and layout adjustments. FHD® fiber cassettes support tool-free installation and removal, while pre-terminated MTP® jumpers significantly reduce on-site termination complexity. This enables rapid connection deployment and saves over 80% of the time needed for subsequent business upgrades.
Cable management products have been installed in both horizontal and vertical management areas, with unified cabling standards strictly enforced. Through cable labels, cable managers, and cable ties, the cabling is organized in zones to simplify subsequent management and maintenance, and to enhance the neatness and aesthetics of telecom equipment rooms. In the event of equipment failure, the visual port marking that comes with the FHD® fiber cassettes can help maintenance personnel quickly identify and locate faulty cables, facilitating timely repair and restoration of equipment operation.
By adopting advanced integrated cabling design principles and employing high-quality, reliable high-density cabling products, the overall cable clutter in the telecom room has been effectively resolved through systematic deployment of fiber optic jumpers according to specifications. FHD® and MTP® high-density products, featuring modular designs, ensure convenient installation, significantly improving efficiency in business activation and reducing installation time by up to 80%. Additionally, the use of cable management tools simplifies the integrated management and maintenance of horizontal cabling, enhancing operational efficiency and aesthetics. In the vertical cabling area, cable organizers effectively manage backbone links, thereby reducing fault risks and enhancing overall cable safety in the telecommunications room.
This solution not only enhances the maintainability and reliability of the telecom room but also supports future upgrade needs, establishing a benchmark telecom room that meets all client requirements and goals.
