UC PRECON Pre-terminated cabling concept The system concept contains solutions for all layers of network cabling in office backbones and work areas, data centres and hosted applications: pre-terminated, modular, individually labelled and tested, along with customer-specific documentation. The system components meet latest standard's requirements and enable simple migration towards faster network applications. Your specific installation needs are fully reflected by the service and logistics concept. The hottest topics in today s IT infrastructure debate are energy efficiency, TCO, power, cooling management and network management. Often network cabling is listed here as well. However, cabling shouldn t be considered in isolation, since it takes direct influence to all abovementioned issues. The only way to find the optimum is an integrated infrastructure approach. Hereafter you can find system solutions which can lower the barriers to proper cooling and airflow by smart combination of Draka Universal Cabling components. More important they enable cost efficient but future proof solution in the light of rapid innovations in networking, which can hardly be predicted for more than a couple of years. Hence flexibility is key which allows IT operators to change to latest chip technologies to enjoy improvements in energy consumption without re-installing their infrastructures. Nonetheless it s crucial to meet established industry standards because proprietary solution can quickly turn to a dead-end street. Draka s UC PRECON preterminated cabling solution is entirely funded on global network and application standards but moreover offers flexibility and performance which are mission critical in dynamic technology fields like LAN and data centres. > 3

Factory pre-terminated and tested cabling saves time and labour, as compared to field terminated installations. Assemblies are custom configured in pre-engineered lengths with connectors to meet the specific needs of each application. Various options in cable ends lay-up are available. All UC PRECON products are also available as single cable pre-term solution UC PRECON Data centre trunk cabling What s needed to meet future data centre requirements in copper cabling? In highly concentrated data centre networks, at server level, the key is to maximize utilization of available pathways, racks and spaces rather than to go for maximum permissible channel length. Especially at Client level bulky cabling forms a serious barrier to air ventilation, literally one of the hot topics in data centres due to growing packing density in server racks and the need to offload the high amount of heat dissipated by all the electronics. For this application Draka has developed the UC FUTURE program which contains slim cable designs based on existing work area cable standards, which are perfect for zone cabling in data centres because of these characteristics: Up to 100% higher packing density in cable trays Fully compliant with established cable standards FTP design to eliminate any Alien-Xtalk interferences Full 10GBase-T performance over a channel distance of 60m Just one of many possible solutions: UC PRECON 10G 6-channel cabling solution Factory pre-terminated and tested cabling solution equipped with UC CONNECT G modules and UC FUTURE LOOMED ZD 26 AWG Cat.6 A cable.

6 UC FIBRE Fibre optic cabling solutions Optical fibre principle Utmost accuracy during the manufacturing process this is the secret of a high-capacity optical fibre. Only top quality permits an optimum data transmission especially in the new high-speed networks. The necessary processes such as the plasma-activated deposition (PCVD) require state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques as well as a special know-how of Draka s employees. Sophisticated PCVD process It is the highly accurate process of the so-called plasma-activated deposition (PCVD) that makes our optical fibres exceptionally proven for future requirements. These fibres are applied to all fibre optic cables of series UC FIBRE. Maximum link distances due to laseroptimized fibres The cost-effective 10 Gbit Ethernet at 850nm is ideally supported by MaxCap OM3. Without re-installations, idle times and additional investments, it makes distances possible which allow the change to the next faster transmission protocol by using the existing network structure on the same infrastructure. It does not matter whether it concerns the frequently used applications with light emitting diodes (LED) or new interfaces on the basis of VCSELs. MaxCap OM4 - blue print for new multimode fibre standard OM4 multimode fibre is ideal for 10G ink applications requiring a higher power budget, for example when more connectors are required, which is the case in Data Centres. They are also perfect for 10G applications requiring a longer distance than 300 meters (up to 550 meters). Finally, OM4 fibres are future proof, especially for 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Ethernet solutions. BendBright technology The key feature in the fibre design that allows for significant improvement in macro bending performance is the insertion of a field confining trench in the fibre cladding. This trench reduces the optical power in the region just outside the guiding core, which is very beneficial in keeping the signal inside the fibre when the fibre is bent. BendBright technology facilitates convincing benefits: x bending improvement over standard fibres Fully backwards compatible with i.e. G.652.D standard single mode fibre Deployed in over 30 countries worldwide Greater than 10 million SM splices and connectors Every network is a unique structure. There are various segments of different requirements which need to be under - stood before creating any solution. LAN and data centre backbones are already equipped with optical fibre technology. It is state-of-the-art and offers lowest attenuation at highest data rates which is a prerequisite for backbone data links. With data centres it forms one of the most demanded components due to the highly aggregated data traffic there. As soon as 10 Gigabit Ethernet comes to the agenda at client level, a data centre backbone capable of 10GbE to link between access and distribution level turns into a real bottleneck. Despite the fact that copper data cables are capable of covering a distance of up to 100m at 10Gbit/s, the preference in this place should be laser optimized multimode fibre according to OM3 specification. This fibre technology is available in Draka cable designs to meet the specific needs of data centre infrastructures, let it be a single core cable or the popular shotgun cable design with figure-8 shape, the break-out cable for multiple fan outs or loose tube cable design with high fibre counts for trunk lines. More and more in use is the MPO-style optical fibre connector, which requires small cables to fit the planar structure of its fibre management as well as its outer dimensions. Draka s specifically designed MPO cable is made for interconnects of 40GBase-SR4 channels which is one of the next options into a data centre s infrastructure of the future. 6<
