News Mercury Modular High Density Fiber Platform 010.5421 Campus networks and data centers are literally growing out of their spaces. An incredible number of ports and cables have to be accommodated in the most confined of spaces. R&M is solving the problem with Mercury, a new high-density splice distributor. The Mercury fiber platform developed by R&M USA is a modular splice distributor system. It is suitable for use both in campus backbone rings and for connecting two data centers. The big advantage for users: Mercury saves you time. Installation, test and commissioning can be halved in comparison to conventional solutions. In terms of packing density, handling and modularity, Mercury is setting new standards. The chassis occupies two height units in a 19’’ rack. The housings feature a modular patch panel on the front which can accommodate up to 288 LC connections per section. The connections are in two blocks each with six trays. A typical configuration occupies 6RU and terminates 864 fibers. With 48RU, the Mercury boxes connect up to 6,912 fibers in a rack. Like the patch panels the SD-08 splice trays are designed for 288 fibers. The 1:1 ratio simplifies planning. The splice trays contain large inputs and outputs for high count fiber cables, space for storage and repositionable splice protection holders. Faster with ribbon fiber The cabling is based on ribbon fiber cables which are widely used in the US. Ribbon cables consist of several fibers lying next to each other in the shape of a ribbon in an adhesive matrix. Several fibers can be spliced simultaneously. And that speeds up work incredibly. R&M offers versions with 200 μm and 250 μm fibers. In comparison with 250 μm, using 200 μm ribbon fiber cables can save 30 % space in the cable runs. 010.5425 Simple handling with LC-QR In such a densely packed patch panel, it is impossible to plug conventional patch cords in and out without using tools. This is why R&M recommends patch cords with the innovative LC Quick-Release Uniboot connectors (LC- QR). A push-pull mechanism enables locking and unlocking via the boot. 010.5445 To save even more valuable installation time in the secure area of the data center, the patch panel modules are optionally available with factory-pre-terminated ribbon fiber trunks. The effort involved in installation and verification is minimized as the connections and trunks are factory-measured. 090.7272 050.6687 Olga René Dieter Tysyachnyuk Eichenberger Studer | Project Manager Synergia Head Marketing of Corporate SE, Manager UkraineCommunications R&M USA olga.tysyachnuk@synergia.ua rene.eichenberger@rdm.com dieter.studer@rdm.com CONNECTIONS 10I2018–55 19
