CommScope SYSTIMAX iPatch HD fibre shelf

The SYSTIMAX iPatch HD fibre shelf is built to support high-density data centre applications based on LC and MPO connectivity.

Designed at CommScope Labs, the solution combines intelligence and high density with manageability and the ease of making moves, additions and changes. At the heart of the solution are CommScope’s HD-1U and HD-2U fibre shelves. Each of the shelves accepts InstaPatch 360 modules or MPO pass-through panels.

The use of the modules and panels allows incremental spend as growth occurs, and simplifies installation and maintenance. The compact shelves allow data centres to use a single cabinet to house both SAN directors and fibre cabling.

Real-time management of the physical layer ensures that stranded switch ports are identified and repurposed, rather than remaining idle while continuing to consume power. It also optimises server deployment and commissioning.
