PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Brand-Rex 10GPlus product set is a premium quality, high performance, future proof, cabling system. 10GPlus is classified
as an Augmented Category 6 and Class EA product set which is fully backward compatible to Category 6 (Class E) and Category 5e
(Class D) solutions.

It is a product set which is designed to be compliant with the new IEC Class EA and Augmented Category 6 standards, ready
for the new application from IEEE, 10GBASE-T. The cabling system is available in screened and unscreened solutions, however
screened products are recommended because they are more robust against against electromagnetic noise and have improved
alien crosstalk performance.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The 10GPlus Shielded Tool-free Snap-in-
Jack is easy and quick to install, its compact
construction and multiple cable-entry
options make it the most flexible product
of its type available. It is smaller and
shorter than traditional products, allowing
it to fit more comfortably into confined
spaces. The jack also features an adjustable
management element allowing for a rear,
top or side-entry cable termination.
Designed for use in all structured cabling
environments including the general office and
data centres, the jack can be installed in patch
panels, wall outlets and floor box modules
to provide a robust and versatile solution.
The 10GPlus system is an Augmented
Category 6 and Class EA solution set that is
fully backwards compatible to Cat6 (Class E)
Brand-Rex Copper Connectivity – 10GPlus Tool-free Jack

Brand-Rex Optical Components - FibrePlus Patch Panel PRODUCT DESCRIPTION


High Density Fibre Management Panel The High Density Fibre Management Panel
offers the ultimate solution for management
of fibre in datacentres and telecoms rooms.
The panel combines a robust metal frame with
precision injection moulded plastic to deliver
a flexible and secure construction while still
offering fully integrated and flexible fibre
management. The 1U 48 LC port patch panel
482
facilitates patch cord routing directly into the
rack vertical side management, thus increasing
44 max
rack density and easing undue stresses on
the cords. It is designed to pivot and hinge
providing the control and security of a fixed
panel but also allowing for increased access
and usability.

also be applied to small, corporate and internet
datacentre environments. It can be used stand-
alone or in multiples. It is an ideal solution for
the main distribution area.The modular and
scaleable design of the OER offers numerous
options and solutions to deal with issues of cable
access and routing that are common to today’s
high data rate networks and high performance
cabling. It offers the user a simple, modular and
Brand-Rex Datacentre Cabinets and Racks
easy-to-install system featuring smart, effective

cable management options and built-in flexibility
to cope with copper or optical cabling.
The combination of completely interchangeable
cable retention gates, doors, fingers and
accessories allows the user to customise OER
to adapt his or her own specific needs.
Also, reconfiguration and modification of the
OER system is done easily in the field after the
system is installed, which makes the OER a great
choice for cable management needs now, and in
the future.

SmartPatch for the Enterprise (SP4E) v5.0


SmartPatch for the Enterprise (SP4E) is a web-based intelligent
infrastructure management software package. It is designed
to bring a traditionally inert network infrastructure under
control and align it to other processes within the IT function,
particularly in terms of history and accountability. It does
this by providing real-time end-to-end physical connectivity
information and making it possible to monitor and maintain
a database of the IT infrastructure from any remote
location. SP4E allows the enterprise to automate network
documentation and maintenance procedures whilst constantly
providing real-time updates to the database.

How Does it Work?


SP4E is based on a Client/Server application on top of an SQL
relational database and works in combination via standard
SNMP with a network topology of intelligent hardware (SPMax
and patch panels) in order to control, map and monitor both
the physical layer and active LAN equipment.

SP4E also features a unique end-to-end system called P-LET


(Proactive LAN Equipment Topology) that tracks network
connectivity from the Terminal Equipment (PCs, IP phones,
printers etc.) through the connecting hardware, to the
Brand-Rex SmartPatch
Network Equipment (LAN switches, PBXs, hubs etc). The
Software
System Administrator is provided with a real-time view of the
physical layer, including a combined view of the horizontal
and vertical sub-systems. A combination of graphics and real-
time information assist the Administrator in making critical
decisions about Moves, Adds and Changes (MACs) in the
enterprise. These decisions are made for the daily maintenance
of the system, network troubleshooting and documentation
procedures. SP4E updates the network database to reflect the
MAC and IP details of network devices, as well as their physical
location in the network.

One of the most significant developments of the SP4E


application is the Provisioning module. This module
allows users to implement individual MACs, departmental
reorganisations or even server deployments simply and
efficiently whilst adhering to user defined policies with simple
drag-and-drop operations.
