Micro Data Center Plenum Berk-Tek’s patented (US Patent #7,609,926) Micro Data Center Plenum (MDP) cables are designed specifically to enable high-density, backbone connectivity in existing or new data centers. These rugged cables are available in fiber counts from four to 288 optical fibers. This new cable design delivers dramatically reduced cable diameters of up to 50% compared to typical indoor/outdoor and premises-distribution-style cable offerings.
Standards
International  EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801
National  ANSI/ICEA S-83-596; ANSI/TIA-568-C.3; Telcordia GR-409
Description

Berk-Tek's MDP cables, when pre-terminated using industry standard MPO connectors(MTP®), provide the highest-density, most-flexible backbone connectivity solution available for data centers and SAN installations.  MDP cable is available in four to 288 count fiber constructions. These cables have been thoroughly tested in accordance with Telcordia GR-409 and ICEA-596. 

 

Construction

All-Dry buffer tubes containing 250 µm, individually colored fibers.  Fiber counts 4-72 use 4 fiber 1.1 mm buffer tubes;  fiber counts 96 & 144 use 12 fiber 1.6 mm buffer tubes.  Buffer tubes and fiber color codes fully compliant with TIA-598-C standard.  Buffer tubes are surrounded by cable strength yarns with a plenum rated thermoplastic sheath.

 

Applications

Berk-Tek's Micro Data Center plenum rated fiber optic cable is intended for all high speed data applications, including:

  • 10BASE-FL
  • 100BASE-SX/100BASE-FX
  • ATM 155/ATM 622
  • 1000BASE-SX/1000BASE-LX
  • Fibre Channel 1.062/2.125
  • 10GBASE-SR/SW
  • 10GBASE-LX4
  • 40/100 GbE   

 

Features

  • Reduced-diameter design with superior tensile load ratings
  • Highly flexible construction with a plenum flame rating 
  • Single-mode, multimode, and hybrid designs available
  • Optimized for pre-terminated installations
  • Field furcation procedures available online 
  • All dielectric design standard
  • Avaliable with Armor-Tek interlock Armor, aluminum or steel

 

Benefits

  • High density design coupled with smallest diameters enable superior data center backbone cabling solution
  • Optimized for pre-terminated installations using MTP, LC, SC, connectors.  Additional connector options available
  • Hybrid optical fiber offerings available
  • Does not exhibit preferential bending limitations typically associated with ribbon cable
