Siemon Base 8 Plug and Play system

Siemon has added a comprehensive Base 8 Plug and Play system consisting of fibre enclosures, modules, adapters, assemblies and jumpers to its existing line of Lighthouse fibre cabling solutions.

The system enables 100% fibre use, eliminating the need for conversion cords or modules, while providing a complete end-to-end Base 8 fibre system for efficient support of current and future 8-fibre applications. It includes Siemon’s high-density FCP3 fibre enclosure along with snap-in Base 8 modules that feature three 8-fibre MTPs to 24 LCs to support 10 Gbps applications and MTP adapter plates to support day-one 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps applications.

The system also includes Base 8 MTP-to-MTP trunk assemblies and jumpers for backbone and equipment connections. Available in OM3/OM4 multimode in both standard and low loss, and in single-mode, the system features smaller diameter RazorCore fibre to reduce cable diameter of assemblies and provide a 2 mm-diameter MTP jumper. It includes Base 8 MTP to LC hybrid assemblies as an alternative to modules for support of 10 Gbps. Base 8 MTP-to-LC BladePatch assemblies feature the innovative push-pull latch activation of the BladePatch plug for easy access in tight-fitting areas.
