Background

Data centre design in today’s dynamic environment is challenging. Factors like data transmission performance, cable management, and future growth demands are needed to take into consideration. One of the FS customers from the US intended to upgrade the fibre cabling in its main building from the data centre to closets and to another building.

Challenge

For the whole cabling network, the client needs to use single mode fibre for better future expandability. The MTP cabling is idea for their network but they are not sure how to choose the MTP cable polarity.

Solution

We design type A and type AF cassettes MTP link on each side to simplify network cable management. Besides, we also provides customised cables with different lengths to satisfy the needs of different distance.

Here is the simple connections diagram.

Connection 1

NoC-2N: Type A cassette--Type A Trunk, Female--Type AF cassette;

NoC-2N-3N/1N: Type A Cassette--Type A Trunk, Female--Up to Down Panel--Type A Trunk, Female to Female--Type AF Cassette
Connection 2

NoC-2S-1S; NOC-2S-3S; NOC-2S-IMC; NOC-2S-DC:

Type A cassette--Type A Trunk, Female--Up to Down Panel--Type A Trunk, Female to Female--Type AF cassette

At 2N and 2S, with MTP up to down panel，one end of one male-male trunk cable is to the back of the panel, then 'jumper' it on the front back to another port, to make the cables connected to cassette to be female to female.
Connection 3

NoC-Activity Centre: Type A cassette--Type A Trunk, Female--Type AF cassette

Note: due to the long distance between these two sites, military-grade MTP OS2 armoured cable is used here.

As for fibre polarity, please read Understanding Fibre Polarity.

Conclusion

Choosing the right cabling solution can have a positive impact on data transmission speed, network performance, power consumption, cost, etc. FS FHD high-density products including fibre enclosures and cassettes help to connect between adjacent sites and cross-site, which are ideal for upgrading cabling in an organized and modular way. This upgraded cabling system reduces the power and the risk of downtime and facilitates installation & maintenance.
