Trang 1Cable Management Solutions for Active Platforms
Trang 2ADC’s TrueNet® Cable Management Solutions for Active Platforms are a family
of cable management solutions for active equipment These solutions enable service providers to maximize their capital equipment investment and minimize operational costs.
• Manages data center space efficiently—particularly valuable in those environments where space
is at a premium
• Maximizes operational equipment life by incorporating thermal management best practices
• Minimizes network downtime and flexibly manages cable—greatly simplifying moves, adds and changes
Features
• High density cabling capacity and management – Provides physical protection and accessibility of cables for maintenance and proper thermal air flow
• Separate routing channels for fiber and copper cables – Provides physical protection and bend radius control
of fiber cables – Manages entrance/exit transitions by incorporating fiber raceway solutions
• Single length patch cord between active platform and patch panels – Integrates slack storage for ease of use
• Modular cable management for flexibility and easy deployment – Utilizes RiserGuide for “plug and play” cable management
• Allows for future growth – Incorporates slack storage and fiber management
The Cable Management Imperative
Your network and equipment can only perform as well as your cables A successful, well-built network must also be based on a strong cable management system The same can be said when it comes to cabinet design
Proper cable management has a direct impact on your network’s reliability, performance, and cost It also allows for proper thermal airflow The TrueNet Cable Management Solutions for Active Platforms provide ample vertical and horizontal cable management Proper management not only keeps cabling organized, it also removes the obstacles to air movement
A strong cable management system provides, cable routing paths, cable accessibility, and physical protection ADC products incorporate all of these elements, allowing your network to realize its full competitive potential
