The RapidNet system offers many advantages over a standard site-terminated solution. It can reduce installation times by up to 95% and because it’s pre-tested, minimal on-site testing is required once installed. The pre-terminated solution delivers high performance across all formats including Category 6A and Category 6 in copper and OM4, OM3, OS2 and OS1 in fibre.
The Category 6A and fibre solutions will support high speed 10G networks and beyond. High port densities can be achieved using RapidNet fibre, with MTP connectors providing up to 144 fibres per cassette or up to 576 fibres in 1U of rack space.
RapidNet allows a greener approach to cabling infrastructure. With each RapidNet loom manufactured and supplied to pre-specified lengths, there is less on-site cabling and packaging waste. In addition, with RapidNet being manufactured in the UK, the environmental impact of shipping is greatly reduced. The reduced installation times make RapidNet the ideal solution for ‘business as usual’ projects, time critical installations and in the event of disaster recovery where network down time needs to be kept to a minimum.
The extensive RapidNet fibre range from HellermannTyton has developed with the increasing demands of high performance, high speed networks and data centres. Available in OM4, OM3, OS2 and OS1, RapidNet fibre provides a number of connectivity options, including MTP, LC and SC cassettes.
The LC cassettes are available in standard and Keyed formats. The standard RapidNet LC and SC cassettes offer a range of options including single mode or multimode, 12 or 24 ports in LC and 6 or 12 ports in SC formats. The cassettes also provide 2 options for the rear of the cassette; a terminated cable with a strain relieving boot or with MTP connectors, to allow the use of 12 or 24 core MTP backbone cables.
MTP VHD RapidNet is available with either 6 or 12 MTP ports presented on the front of the cassette.The MTP connector can be supplied as either 12 or 24 core, with 6 x 24 core connectors or 12 x 12 core connectors, enabling a maximum of 144 fibres in a single cassette, or 576 fibres in a 1U RapidNet panel.
RapidNet copper solutions offer the installer or end user a great deal of choice and flexibility at both the cassette end and the ‘second end’.
The 6 port RapidNet cassette comes in a standard format with 4 cassettes fitting into the RapidNet panel. The standard panel accommodates all UTP Category 6A and Category 6 cassettes with a separate panel available for the 6 port shielded solutions. Both UTP and FTP Category 6A solutions exceed industry standards performance criteria to support a 10G network. The UTP Category 6A system is available in a range of different coloured jack variations as standard, allowing for network segregation.
Available in Category 6, the 4 port cassette comes with its own RapidNet panel providing 24 ports in 1U of space. The 4 port cassette provides an ideal solution for work area and ‘to the desk’ applications in most commercial office and educational environments.
The 12 port cassette is RapidNet’s high density solution, presenting 48 ports in 1U of rack space. Available in Category 6, the 12 port cassette provides an ‘on-board’ magnified port labelling field and comes with its own RapidNet panel to accommodate the larger cassette footprint. The 12 port cassette is also compatible with the Hybrid RapidNet panel, providing a combination of copper and fibre connectivity in 1U of space.
RapidNet fibre cassettes can also be supplied with MTP connectors on the rear. For these RapidNet cassettes HellermannTyton supply a range of MTP backbone cables as well as MTP to fan out assemblies in both LC and SC formats. While a RapidNet Copper cassette to cassette assembly is most commonly used in cabinet to cabinet and data centre applications, the RapidNet range offers additional flexibility with a host of other ‘second end’ possibilities including RJ45 and Pod.
