Swiss cabling specialist R&M has developed a new subfloor cabling solution for data centers. The R&M Floor / Consolidation Box solution serves as an intermediate distributor in double floors in zone distribution and storage areas.
It reduces patch panels in the racks or cabinets, freeing up space there for active components. The new advance is an aid in increasing the equipment density in computer rooms and in quickly building up high performance networks using 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet. As many as 288 fiber-optic or copper cable terminations fit into one unit. It is also suitable for combining the two media.
R&M markets 19" patch panels from its own range of data center products for configuration. Up to six patch panels can be incorporated in the raised floor solution. R&M has planning aids to help cabling projects run more smoothly and pre-terminates factory-inspected assembly kits that are delivered just in time.
The R&M Floor / Consolidation box solution consists of a steel box that is inserted seamlessly into the 600 x 600 millimeter grid of raised floors. It is fastened to supports in the raised floor and connected to cable runs in a quick installation procedure. For example, each distributor cabinet or row of cabinets can be assigned one box.
Gaurav Ahluwalia, Managing Director of R&M India says, "The new floor / consolidation box Solution is developed keeping in mind the requirement of new age data centers. This platform enables increased productivity of the data center. The significance of this platform is that the surface area of the data center need not be increased."
Other areas of application
Besides applications in data centers, the R&M raised floor solution can also be used in offices, control stands, command centers, clinics, surveillance or monitoring centers, on the trading floor of stock exchanges and in other similar settings.
