1 High density Fiber Optic connections in the Data Center Phil Ward Datacenter Product Market Manager. HUBER+SUHNER AG

2 How to make fast connections. Phill Ward Bicsi National 2 Conference India

3 Projected data rates Projected accessdata rates per home required in 2010, 2020, and 2030, assumingthree video and voice streams, one gaming stream and one data/ stream per home simultaneously. Phill Ward Bicsi National 3 Conference India

4 Leading interconnect System Approach Solutions are fiber driven This copper cable can deliver simultaneous telephone calls The paired fiber optic cable can deliver millions! Size is also an enormous consideration Phill Ward Bicsi National 4 Conference India

5 Fiber Optic Map Oil /Gas Platforms Railway Industrial wiring Shipbuilding Conventional Energy FTTC, FTTH, FTTD, FTTx Alternate Energy Powerstation Defence Broadcast Safety & Security FTTA WAN, SAN, LAN Phill Ward Bicsi National 5 Conference India

6 High density connections No procedure or guidelines No traceability or identification No visibility of assets Peridical failures Costly Moves, Adds and Changes Equipment over heating/failure Downtime?? Phill Ward Bicsi National Conference India 6

7 The Cross Connect principle BAD Patchcords are routed from one piece of equipment to another as and when a service is required. GOOD Strategic areas of the Data center are identified and pre cabled for maximum flexibility. BAD GOOD Phill Ward Bicsi National 7 Conference India

8 Structured connections X Connecting Multi fiber cables link the different areas of the network Patchcords with the same short length are only used inside a LISA rack or other high density Optical Distribution Frame Phill Ward Bicsi National 8 Conference India

9 Practicalexamples of structured cabling Centralised cross connect in the MDA Phill Ward Bicsi National Conference India 9

10 Plug & Play cable systems Factory terminated (end to end) cable systems are popular in the data center for the following reasons : Saves up to 75% of the installation time Requires limited installation knowledge (splicing etc) Provides a tool kit of parts that can be re used again and again Offers a scalable approach to design and implementation Considerations Requires a great degree of accuracy in measuring lengths, either between racks or at the equipment interface. Can lead to a vendor specific design if not careful. Phill Ward Bicsi National 10 Conference India

11 MTP connector for higher packing density The following gfactors have led to a trend for high density cabling : Higher bandwidth requirements Reduced cable size and increased air flow to equipment High Density blade servers with hundreds of ports Virtualisation and cloud computing High Real Estate costs for rack space Reduced installation times Structured cabling approach (zone approach) 40 Gig and 100 Gig parallel optics Phill Ward Bicsi National 11 Conference India

12 MTP functionality Connector interfaces are configured using a female plug without pins, a male plug with pins fixed and an adapter as shown in Figure 1. The female plug is inter mateable with the male plug. Type A = Key up to Key down Type B = Key up to Key up Key Phill Ward Bicsi National 12 Conference India

13 High Density cabling with MTP connectors MTP connectors provide the following benefits : A single 12 fiber connector (SC size) at one end connects to multiple duplex connectors at the other end such as LC or SC. Linking cables can be pre connected to modules which are then placed in patch panels above the equipment Modules can be replaced & upgraded if required Scalable and adaptive to technology changes Module can be replaced with a fan out and adapter plate if required Phill Ward Bicsi National 13 Conference India

14 Flexibility of MTP Module Jumper Module Phill Ward Bicsi National 14 Conference India

15 MPO high density connections Centralised cross connect in the MDA High density rack connects the equipment racks in one centralized point. Easy Moves, Adds and Changes Phill Ward Bicsi National 15 Conference India

16 Practical examples of structured cabling High density backbone cabling using MTP 1. MTP Jumper Cables 2. MTP Ruggedised Fanouts 3. MTP MASTERLINES Phill Ward Bicsi National Conference India 16

17 Practical examples of structured cabling Flexible Zone Distributors close to equipment Phill Ward Bicsi National Conference India 17

19 Push Pull MTP for highest density Allows high density MTP presentation underneath SAN switches or proximate to super computers Access to 192 MTP connections in 2U of height space Retro fittable to existing cable assemblies Phill Ward Bicsi National 19 Conference India

20 Industry first Push Pull LC (with extraction finger) Simple Push Pull functionality Unbeatable access for insertion/removal Allows 360 adapter stacking Prevents SFP removal in some cases Perfect for high density blades Simply polarity change and visibility An end to end MTP/LC push pull Phill Ward Bicsi National 20 Conference India

21 Safe & secure fiber containment Phill Ward Bicsi National Conference India 21

22 Why is fiber containment important? To maintain i operational efficiency i and flexibility Easier planning and upgrades Simple fiber identification and access Avoid interference with live circuits Reduce circuit outage and down time Reduce fiber identification time Protect assets Phill Ward Bicsi National 22 Conference India
