SMOOTH COOPERATION
Vincent was convinced of Nexans quality and
wanted a state of the art Cat.8 solution, even
though this was seen as a data centre solution which
was still unratified, explains Rene Fraiquin, Business
Development Manager, Nexans Cabling Solutions.
We used LANmark-7A cable with extended
frequency range of 2000 MHz , equipped with
GG45 connectivity and EMC clips. This combined
the highest Enterprise cabling (Cat.7A) with the highest
Datacenter cabling spec (Cat8.2) and was the ideal
solution. In total, approximately 360 connections
were made and certified against the draft Cat.8.2 test
limits. To reduce the cost of an extra floor distributor,
FTTO was chosen for the second location, adjacent
to the office. This saves on installation, space, power
usage, cooling and active components.
19 LANactive FTTO switches, have been placed
as a consolidation point, offering a total of 76
(preterminated) copper-based RJ45 connections to
the devices. Installation has been done by BAM Infra

Introducing Cat.8
Over the years there have been many
discussions whether fibre would replace
copper or not, but both will continue to play
an important role in Enterprise network and
data centre infrastructure. During Nexans,
Eszet Data and Psiber Datas joint roadshows
in 2014, visitors were given the opportunity to
examine and discuss the latest developments
in high bandwidth copper and fibre cabling
and try the latest products and support tools.
