QuickNet™ Fiber Cabling in the Data Center Your network supports the critical data, voice, video, and security applications required to drive your business. QuickNet™ Fiber Cabling System simplifies the delivery of network services by providing reliable infrastructure components assembled and tested in a factory-controlled environment. An end-to-end cabling system is an ideal solution for data centers especially when time for traditional cable installation and termination is limited.

QuickNet™ Fiber Cabling Systems QuickNet™ Fiber Cabling Systems are available in a range of configurations and met the unique needs of data center projects of any scale.

How to Use QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assemblies The following sections illustrate and describe in greater detail how QuickNet™ Fiber Trunks, Interconnects, Harnesses, and Patch Cords, Cassettes and Patch Panels, are used in common data center cabling configurations. Two-Connector Interconnect In this configuration, a permanent link is installed between QuickNet™ Patch Panels in the switch/network cabinet and the server or storage cabinets.
PAGE 4
Four-Connector Cross Connect In this configuration, permanent links are installed between QuickNet™ Patch Panels in the switch/network cabinet and server or storage cabinets and a common cross connect cabinet or rack. In this scenario, any fiber from any switch port or server uplink can be routed to anywhere within the datacenter. This option allows for easy moves, adds, or changes. The most common, flexible, and upgradeable QuickNet™ Fiber solution is shown in Figure 3, below.
PAGE 5
Switch Port Equipment Harnesses Switch port equipment harnesses are utilized in the switching area of the data center and to consolidate cabling. The LC to MPO harnesses connect six (6) or four (4) (depending on the switch blade layout), LC transceivers in the switch to a single MPO connector in an adapter panel installed in the switch cabinet to within 15m of the switch cabinet. This allows for consolidation of the switch ports into a single MPO connector.
PAGE 6
HDQ Series High Density Cassettes The QuickNet™ HDQ Series High Density Fiber Optic Cassettes can be used in high density network applications for cross connects to assist with switch port replication. These cassettes mirror 32-port and 48-port Cisco^ blades and 32-port, 48-port and 64-port Brocade^^ blades as shown in Figure 6. These give the end user (at a cross connect area) the ability to visualize the blade port location when conducting moves, adds, or changes.

How to Configure QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assemblies The QuickNet™ Fiber product family has a wide range of available configuration options from standard MPO to MPO cable assemblies to fully custom assemblies that are user-defined. In this section, each of the main configuration options for QuickNet™ Fiber are explained and typical considerations for data center applications are covered. Fiber Type The fiber type selected in the assembly indicates the maximum data rate that will be supported.
PAGE 10
Trunk Type and Terminations Both ends of a QuickNet™ Fiber cable assembly include one of a range of factory termination options – each end can be different and are selected based upon the desired application of the trunk or harness within the data center. Termination choices are: • Duplex LC to Duplex LC • PanMPO to PanMPO • PanMPO to LC • MPO to MPO • MPO to LC • Cassette to Cassette • Cassette to MPO/Duplex LC Insertion Loss is the amount of power lost at each mated pair of connectors.

Labeling All QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assemblies have an assembly label on each end which includes the part number, length, and a serialized quality control number. Label example shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 – Labels Reach Table Panduit® laser optimized OM3, OM4 multimode fibers meet domestic and international standards. Signature Core™ exceeds domestic and international standards for optical fiber.

Guide for Measuring QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assembly Lengths Proper measuring for QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assembly lengths is straightforward but does require some detailed information about the data center layout. For the most accurate length measurements, it is best to work from layout drawings and know the specific equipment to be used, the cabinet dimensions, and the desired positions in the cabinets of patch panels and equipment.

Length Measurement Example 16.5 ft. D C 3 ft. B 3 ft. 60 in. A 12 in. 72 in. Figure 11 – Measurement Example Example: In-cabinet length: 72 in. (12 in. + 60 in.) A1 – Distance from switch plate to vertical manager = 12 in. A A2 – Distance from vertical manager to patch panel = 60 in. Patch panel-to-pathway length: 3 ft. B Length along pathway: 16.5 ft. (assuming seven 24 in. wide server cabinets and cable exit on far side of 30 in.
