RapidNet - The Data Centre “Plug and Play” Pre-terminated Cabling Solution from HellermannTyton
When building or designing your data centre do you ask yourself the following questions; How can I get this data centre up and running in the quickest possible time?, How can I reduce the time between infrastructure investment and client revenue stream? How can I make the most of a limited amount of space? How can I address environmental issues with this installation?
If you find yourself asking these questions then HellermannTyton have the answer. RapidNet.
RapidNet, the world’s leading pre-terminated cabling system from HellermannTyton provides the perfect solution for data centre installations of any size. Available in both fibre and copper, adopting a RapidNet installation for your data centre can reduce installation time by up to 95% and therefore you can bring your clients on-line that much quicker.
FAST INSTALLATION Because RapidNet is factory pre-terminated and pre-tested, there is minimal engineering work required once the product arrives on site. The RapidNet concept is based on an innovative and fully patented cassette that hosts the pre- terminated fibre or copper connections. The Fibre cassette can offer up to 24 ports with the LC high density option or 6 RJ45 connections in copper.
The cassettes simply plug into the RapidNet 19” panel that hosts 4 cassettes providing the standard 24 ports per U in copper or up to 96 ports in the LC fibre version. HellermannTyton also offer a 4-way cassette, where 6 cassettes occupy a panel and is the ideal solution for workstation applications.
In the data centre environment the most common application is cabinet to cabinet and cabinet to patching field. This is where RapidNet occupies a unique position and is in a league of its own. By utilising the cassette to cassette version, with the cabled loom cut to a specified length, the cassette is simply inserted into each cabinet or rack mounted patch panel in a simple and easy action. The cable that runs between the cassettes is either placed in the under floor or ceiling voids or in overhead basket trays depending on your environment.
In comparison to terminating in the traditional manner, time savings of up to 75% -95% are realistic and globally proven.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT The time between investment and revenue stream is a crucial factor to the success of a data centre. By specifying the RapidNet solution, not only can a data centre be live and ready for hosting faster than with a traditional solution but because no on-site terminations and minimal testing is required, installation times can be reduced by up to 95%. To put this into perspective, an installation using traditional cabling methods that is planned to take 1 month can be achieved in a week using RapidNet.
SPACE MAXIMISATION HellermannTyton have also considered the importance of cable and space management in the RapidNet design. With the copper range,

all the cables are presented in a formed bundled loom that can be neatly clipped or fastened inside and outside of the cabinet. The fibre MTP cassette provides a clever solution to areas with limited access for cable entry, where pulling bulky cable through is a problem. With this version of RapidNet the 12 fibre connector footprint is minimised and can easily be pulled through most apertures linking Data Centre Rooms. Each cable length is terminated at each end with an MTP 12 way connector which is then plugged into the rear of the MTP cassettes. The cassettes are positioned in a rack or cabinet mounted 19” patch panel. At the front of the cassettes LC or SC connections are presented in the normal way. Using the MTP connector on a high density LC cassette, up to 96 ports can be available in 1U of space.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY RapidNet delivers environmental benefits as soon as it’s specified. Firstly, it’s manufactured in the UK, so from the minute it leaves the ISO 14001 accredited factory in Northampton its carbon foot print is minimal. RapidNet is pre-terminated and where specified made to exact lengths. This cuts down on large amounts of waste cable, on-site and at the HellermannTyton factory. Where possible, RapidNet is supplied on re-usable plastic drums again cutting down on waste packaging.
PERFORMANCE AND FLEXIBILITY Manufactured and tested to HellermannTyton’s onerous QA regime, all RapidNet products are supplied with the test results to confirm that they have been produced under the strict quality controls that help achieve HellermanTyton’s ISO 9001:2000 quality certification.

In summary a data centre needs to generate revenue at the earliest possible phase. It needs to offer space and performance to its users whilst demonstrating environmental awareness. A data centre also needs to offer the flexibility for quick expansion and specifying RapidNet, all of this can be achieved in so little time.
