CommScope introduced a fiber aggregation platform for data centers.
CommScope’s new Propel platform introduces 16-fiber cabling to support the fast growing 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps speeds, as well as emerging 1.6 Tbps speeds. Propel modules are available in four different interchangeable sizes with matching cable constructions to easily scale applications with system architectures. All components are ultra-low loss for optimal performance and have a specific QR code for performance tracking and online instructions.
Propel is the industry’s first Multifiber Push-On (MPO) 16-fiber platform and includes the following:
- Panels: 1U, 2U, 4U
- Adapter Packs: LC, SN, MPO
- Modules: Singlemode and Multi-mode: 8,12, 16 and 24 fibers
- Cable Assemblies: MPO8, 12, 16 and 24; SN and LC Uniboot
“Over the past few years, we have witnessed extraordinary technical advances and a rise in computing devices that connect to the real world. Data centers are key assets in the data-driven economy and it’s critical that the industry pay attention to energy usage and space requirements as we move toward terabit speeds,” said John Schmidt, senior vice president, CommScope’s building and data center business. “CommScope’s Propel solution was engineered to ensure data center operators can maximize existing infrastructure investments while preparing for future applications in a smarter and more efficient manner.”
