SUPPLEMENT FEATURE CABLING & CABLE MANAGEMENT NEW NETWORK CABLE ORGANISER
Modern network infrastructures are reliant on optimum performance and maximum flexibility with their cabling. The Network Cable Organiser (NCO) is indispensable for ensuring this. It revolutionises patching work on an enclosure, with eight times faster
assembly. This not only creates huge time savings, it also allows for space and order in the rack. The NCO will mean simple, fast and secure patching while surplus cable lengths, whether CAT 6 or fibre-optic, are simply withdrawn with a spring balancer
T
he NCO is a 482.6mm (19-inch) cable storage system. It takes up 1U
in the network enclosure and contains 24 tested CAT 6, Class E patch cables or fibre-optic cables, each with a length of 1.6m (sufficient for 23U). The NCO has a modular structure and
is made up of individual cassettes. The pulley system integrated into the cassettes allows surplus cable lengths to be drawn-in automatically. This ensures that every cable is available in the perfect length, eliminating the need to order and stock a variety of different cable lengths. The result is permanently well-organised cable management, providing a perfect overview of what is connected where.
Another advantage offered by the NCO
is its more efficient energy management. Avoiding airflow blockages, which can arise as a result of surplus lengths of the individual cables inside the enclosure, facilitates more efficient cooling. The NCO also saves on space, because
it only requires 1U per switch. Cable management panels are not required,
BENEFITS OF THE NETWORK CABLE ORGANISER AT A GLANCE
• Eight-times faster assembly • Surplus cable lengths are simply withdrawn with a spring balancer
• Always the right length • Suitable for retrofitting into existing 800mm racks • Tool-free mounting • Preconfigured – complete CAT 6 systems including 24 cable cassettes
The result is
permanently well- organised cable
management, providing a perfect overview of what is connected
which in turn saves additional space. Added to this the flat cables used in the NCO only use one-third of the space of a round cable. The flat cables still offer the same level of reliability, are 100 per cent tested, and the fibre-optic cables additionally have a measurement record on the cassette. Each of the 24 slots in the Network
Cable Organiser can either be fitted with a cassette with a category six patch cable
EMC RAIL FOR KDSCLICK CABLE ENTRY SYSTEM
Accompanying the KDSClick cable entry system, CONTA-CLIP supplies easy-to-install, galvanised EMC rails for safe and secure shield termination of cables. KDS-EMV-SAB type rails are attached to the KDSClick mounting screws inside control cabinets and secured with a nut. The manufacturer’s SAB program also includes spring-loaded and screw- connection clips for all
cable diameters. These ensure large-surface grounding. In addition to shunting electromagnetic interference, the shield-connection clips provide strain relief.
CONTA-CLIP

• 100 per cent tested – every fibre- optic cable is supplied with a corresponding measurement record • Space saving -1 U sheet steel mounting frame for 24 cassettes • Ready to use immediately – cables with RJ 45, LC duplex or SC duplex connectors
• No unnecessary unpacking, no twisted cables, reducing the volume of waste
or a fibre-optic patch cable, giving users an unprecedented logic that all but eliminates the need for documentation. All switch ports are physically assigned to a cassette in the NCO, enabling engineers to replace a switch within three minutes without documentation. Unused patch cables are no longer stored in boxes where the clips can break off. Instead, the cables are at hand immediately inside the NCO enclosure, just waiting to be pulled out and connected. If a patch cable is no longer required, it is disconnected from the patch panel, and stored by withdrawing automatically into the cassette, where it will remain until it is next used. In summary, the Network Cable
Organiser helps to speed up installation and maintenance, saves U, and keeps networks permanently clean and well-organised. Further information at the websites below or on twitter @rittal_ltd.
