Cable Bundling – Reference Site
• 30% smaller cable bundle than
comparable 4-pair cables
• Provided adequate bend radius
• Cable lay in vertical and horizontal
pathways
– Vertical pathways 8”x8” back to
back
• Eases Change and tracing
• Did not over-tighten bundles

Case Study End Result:
Client realized:– Overall space savings of approximately 30%
– Installation time significantly reduced – termination in panels ≈10x
faster through modular copper and fiber optic installation
– Better utilization of electronics ports – fully configured switches
– Remote visibility to port connection, IT asset status, network
performance with real-time change updates
– Technician patching done only at central patch area
• Switches and servers are undisturbed – cabinets locked
• Security maintained throughout facility and access

Summary
• Modular Data Center Planning provides space and time savings
• Data Center Standard simplifies management, troubleshooting and
documentation
• New high density patch panels enable reclamation of valuable floor space
• New network electronics based connector technologies provide modularity
previously unavailable.
• Modular high-density connectivity enables rapid installation and recovery of
site cabling
• The combined effects of space and time savings provide a simplified growth
path for network migration and planning

High Density Connect Cable Management
• Recommended to be used at the
MDA and/or HDA
• Has been designed to effectively
manage the density of cables
• The Bend control design ensures
that the Installed Patch cords
automatically achieve the
Minimum Bend radius
requirement.
• The Bend control also features
accessible cable retention that
ensures maximum user flexibility.
