Kerpen Datacom DClink MPO-LC Patch Modules

Daro Connectivity are an authorised distributor for Kerpen Datacom’s GigaLine® DClink pre-assembled modules include products for both copper and fibre connectivity and therefore flexibility when utilised with the DClink Modular Panels allowing installers and network designers to maximise rack usage through a mixed media platform.

Kerpen Datacom’s DClink 10/25 Gbit/s fibre solution consists of an MPO/MTP® trunk and an MPO/MTP®-LC module at each end. Cabling can also be quickly and easily migrated to 40/100 Gbit/s speeds as required, by simply replacing the modules at each end with MPO/MTP® modules, thus converting them to the “MPO/MTP®-in-patch-panel” solution. The existing trunk cabling continues to be used and does not need to be re-laid.

To minimise sources of error and simplify administrative work, this 10/25 Gbit/s cable solution has been designed so that the fibres cross within a cross module, so as to ensure that standard (crossover) patch cables can be used on either side. The MPO/MTP® trunk between the two modules is a type B polarity, which simplifies the migration to 40/100 Gbit/s. This is available as a high-density solution with 144 fibres, i.e., 72 duplex ports, or with 96 fibres, i.e., 48 duplex ports (up to 10 GBASE-SR and 25 GBASE-SR) in 1 RU.

MPO/MTP® cabling to the patch panel is the most cost-effective and simultaneously future-proof fibre-optic solution. The installed base system offers turnkey pathways supplied for all transmission speeds, consisting of MPO/MTP® trunks and MPO/MTP® modules. On the construction site, no connectors need to be assembled: following rack installation, the only work needed is trunk laying plus module and MPO/MTP® connector interfacing, and the pathway is ready to use.

With 768 fibres, i.e., 384 duplex ports (up to 10 GBASE-SR and 25 GBASE-SR), 64 x 12-fibre ports (40-GBASE-SR4 and 100-GBASE-SR4) or 32 x 2×12-fiber ports (100-GBASE-SR10) on 1 RU, this is simultaneously the most space-saving solution. Adjustment to match the various data transfer rates – 10, 40 or 100 Gbit/s – is simply made by selecting the right patch cables for the application; the base installation remains unaffected. As with all modular systems, as well as the pre-fibred modules there are also blanking modules to cover unused panel space and other cable management accessories.
