NEWS Nexans launches Enspace High Density Fibre Panels exans, a worldwide leader in cables and cabling systems, has announced the launch of its High Density patch panels to complete its LANmark-OF ENSPACE range, which already comprises of Ultra High Density panels. N The new ENSPACE HD panels are available in two versions: 1U with 96LC connections and 2U with 192LC connections. These complement the existing range of ENSPACE UHD panels, which can hold 144LC connections in 1U. The ENSPACE HD panels are designed for server racks or patching zones which don’t require ultra-high density. The ENSPACE HD panels have two fixed trays per U. The staggered trays, together with the open top and bottom of the front of the panel, allow for maximum access to the patch cords to facilitate operations. The label slides easily inside the rear of the front door to document moves, adds and changes. As the panels have no moving parts, patch cords and trunks can’t get stuck between the trays. The ENSPACE modules can be installed from the front and the rear of the panel without disconnecting already installed trunks or cords. This allows you to add ports without disrupting active channels. The modules are available in three types to support different installation and protocol requirements: MTP-LC adaptor modules, LC adaptor modules and MTP adaptor modules. The ENSPACE trunks are fixed at the rear of the panel in cable gland slot holders. These can be installed in various orientations (side, angle, rear) to allow maximum flexibility during installation.
