Optical Fibre Management Spool
FibreFab has released an innovative product that allows simple management and storage of optical fibres and minimises signal losses through over bending. The Speedway Spool can be divided into up to six pieces to give complete control of fibre pathways. Two pathways in each spool can manage cables up to 3mm in diameter. These pathways ensure that the fibre is guided to a minimum bend radius of 30mm to minimise the signal loss from over bending. By stacking the spools on top of each other, higher fibre counts can be accommodated, and the offset design of the pathways gives full access to the fibres in each spool in the stack. The new product can be fitted in all types of fibre enclosure using either the pre-cut adhesive pads or screw holes.
New Defence Server
Kontron has announced the latest addition to its KISS server family, designed for long-term operation in land and naval based defence applications. To ensure operational readiness under harsh environmental conditions, the KISS 4U PCI760 MIL-STD was tested in extremely high and low temperatures and underwent repeated tests for shock and vibration resistance. Further testing included electro-magnetic compatibility and electro-magnetic radiation tests which were executed according to the MIL-STD-461E norm and test specifications. The systems are designed for continuous operation and offer a mean
time between failures of 50,000 hours, approximately 5.7 years of non- stop operation. The fans used for the housing are field replaceable units and are integrated on the front panel for easy removal and replacement during operation. A built in Intel AMT 3.0 remote management engine enables system
managers to remotely carry out tasks such as installation of a new OS or setting BIOS parameters without the need for additional remote management hardware or an on-site presence.
Two New Cabling Solutions
Datwyler has extended its portfolio of integrated solutions for data centre applications in copper and fibre optic technology with two new cabling solutions. Both solutions enable customer specific plug-and-play installations with maximum transmission rates and packing densities. The newly developed MTP
on LCQ modular solution is compatible with all applications with Duplex signals as well as parallel optics applications. It can be equipped with a maximum of twelve pre- assembled cartridges, each of which provides two 12-fold MTP adapters at the rear, which are routed to six LC Quad adapters via internal fibre ducts. The Modular High Density
Solution is available with high quality copper and fibre optic cartridges. The improvements relate to the Insertion Loss and Return Loss at the MTP connection. The performance values have been achieved by optimising the termination and polishing processes and using MTP connectors supplied by US Conec.

www.netcommseurope.com PowerCat 6A Side Entry Shielded Jacks Molex Premise Networks has released new PowerCat 6A side entry shielded
jacks. This side entry jack is ideal for use in work area outlet applications with limited back box space and trunking applications. The jack incorporates time saving installation features such as a spring-loaded cable clamp and will be compatible with the Molex 4-pair termination tool and standard termination tool. It is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, with typical applications including data centres, storage area networks, server farms and riser backbones. The PowerCat 6A
solution consists of Category 6A secure network performance for the future. shielded patch panels,
cable, patch cords and both the new die-cast Datagate side entry and regular shielded 6A
jack. The solution is targeted at business enterprises looking to
