TrueNet Fibre Solutions
TrueNet® fibre solution is unique in that it has the Zero Bit Error warranty which guarantees, when used in a horizontal, backbone, data centre or storage area network (SAN), that it will not cause bit errors which can cause packet re-transmissions and network slow-down.
Whether used as an all fibre network, or combined with a TrueNet copper solution, the Zero Bit Error warranty guarantees an error-free network across the physical layer. This is a level of guarantee that no other manufacturer provides.
The TrueNet fibre portfolio is wide ranging and includes OM1 and OM2 multi-mode fibre for Gigabit speeds and OM3 for 10Gigabit/s up to 300 metres. TrueNet OM3e extends this reach to over 550 metres including up to 5 connectors in the channel. TrueNet OS1 single-mode fibre is available for longer reach applications and will transport Gigabit to 5 kilometres or 10 Gigabit/s to 2 km.
TrueNet fibre is available in three installation options:-
Blown-Fibre is seen by many as the lowest cost model. Small plastic fibre ducts are initially installed with ample spare capacity. Fibre in OM1, 2, 3, 3e, or OS1 in “bundles” of 2 to 12 fibre cores is blown-in to the ducts. Further fibre is easily blown-in without disruption when additional capacity or higher data-rates are required. Unlike other blown-fibre solutions, TrueNet blown fibre can also be recovered and re-used.
For traditional deployments, pulled-fibre cables are available with core-counts from 2 to 264 and a third option of factory pre-terminated, tested and certified fibre cabling is also available.
Fibre connectivity solutions include the TrueNet plastic patch panel which has integral fibre management and the TrueNet split fibre patch panel which contains two completely independent patch panels within a 1U rack space – making it possible to install expansion capacity at the same times as ensuring that existing fibres will not be disturbed.
Work area outlets in LC Quad, SC-duplex, ST-duplex and MT-RJ variants cover all single-mode and multi-mode requirements and the TrueNet fibre portfolio is completed with a full range of patch-cords, pigtails and splice enclosures.
