TE Connectivity Core VSM platform

Click2Contact

The core vertical switch management platform (Core VSM) from TE Connectivity is an innovative solution to the challenges posed in the data centre by high-density core switches with a vertical blade configuration.

The design consists of a cable management guide that fits above the switch and copper or fibre modules that provide connections for blades of either media. The complete Core VSM platform can be installed within an 800 mm wide cabinet, saving valuable white space in the data centre.

The TE solution is designed to remove the need for cable management at the side of the frame and enables data centre managers to save space, reduce cost and improve data centre efficiency by ensuring clear representation of the switch ports and ease of access.

In the Core VSM platform, all patch cables, whether fibre or copper, are managed vertically, and just one length of patch cord is required to patch within a frame, simplifying the build process and ongoing logistics.
