Communications is upgrading its entire range of UC branded fibre cabling solutions with OM3 and OM4 multimode technology to bend insensitive fibre technology, giving greater value to
customers for the
same price. For cable shipments beginning April onwards, MaxCap-BB-OM3/4 technology will be included as a standard feature of the cabling solution, as well as bend friendly replacements for OM2 assembly and distribution cables.
The upgrade will eventually result in end users enjoying higher reliability data centres, lower downtime and maintenance and savings in racks and housings thanks to higher cabling density.
Bend insensitive fibre technology provides recognised, measurable benefits in LAN and data centre cabling, such as increased spare system margin that improves 10Gb and higher network reliability. It also stimulates the possibility of new, reduced size cable designs that are lighter in weight, improve cooling efficiency and offer reduced environmental footprints – supporting the evolution to greener data centres.

Molex Premise Networks has released version 2.0 of its MIIM advanced physical layer management solution. With continued focus on enhanced full channel monitoring and management, and a revolutionary user experience, MIIM version 2.0 brings game changing capabilities and value to enterprises worldwide. MIIM’s capability to detect physical channel changes instantly enables visibility for network managers into the physical layer infrastructure.
As in previous versions, MIIM detects, in real time, all connections on the physical channel from the switch to the work area device regardless of whether powered on or off. The MIIM solution immediately senses when there is a physical change in the channel and what specific devices are affected by the change while pinpointing the exact location of the device on a building map.
With this latest release, MIIM brings new capabilities to the world of intelligent physical layer management, including communication with other systems using SNMP for faster and more accurate updates on the status of their Ethernet channels. MIIM can provide information to other network tools, such as network management systems (NMS), about work orders, channel changes, alarms and log entries. For further information visit:

Blade and 1U servers are leading to
climate control problems in racks and subsequently changing the requirements of the IT
infrastructure. Matching cooling
capacities to the present and future demand is crucial and Rittal’s new LCP Extend unit is based on an air/water heat exchanger which solves the problem of high heat losses of up to 12kW per rack.
Without having to modify existing series of enclosures, the innovation can be attached as an independent cooling unit to the rear doors of practically any rack, while the rack is in operation. This means that the system can be easily retrofitted in the event of any problems from thermal issue. Hot air, dissipated towards the rear by the servers, is forced through the air/water heat exchanger by fan units and then expelled.
Maximising long term energy costs is also essential, therefore the LCP Extend can be connected to a free cooling chiller circuit, providing 24/7/365 cooling at minimal costs. For further information visit:

Harting has developed a patch panel based on its Ha-VIS preLink cabling system especially for use in the structured cabling of industrial and special buildings. The new Ha-VIS preLink Harting Industry Form Factor (HIFF) patch panel is suitable for installation in 19 inch cabinets or frames in accordance with IEC/DIN EN 60297-3-100 (DIN 41494-1). Up to 24 individual modules in HIFF design, Ha-VIS preLink RJ-45 socket modules or RJ Industrial 10Gb couplers can be mixed and loaded into the patch panel. The users benefit from the flexibility that allows them to decide for themselves whether they want to work with pre-terminated cables or patch cables. This cabling system component again focuses on simple, time saving and economical installation. The patch panel’s three part design and cable jack support that can be removed from both the front and the back when the base support is installed make this possible.
A high grade stainless steel plate covers the patch panel on the front and lies flush with the 19 inch mounting frame. The future viability of the patch panel is ensured by the module’s ability to transmit data at up to 10Gb/s. The combination of extra strain relief, high integrity shielding and robust metallic design are further safety measures that make the patch panel ideal for use in industrial applications. For further
