QuickNet Signature Core Interconnect Cable Assemblies SPECIFICATION SHEET general information QuickNet Signature Core Interconnect Cable Assemblies allow for rapid deployment of high-density permanent links in a single assembly for data center applications requiring quick infrastructure deployment, such as main, horizontal, and zone distribution areas. These interconnect cable assemblies optimize cable routing requirements to ensure efficient use of pathway space and significantly reduce installation time and cost. They are built with modular MPO connectivity and provide compatibility, flexibility, and system performance in all permanent link applications. technical information Signature Core Fiber is a modal and chromatic dispersion compensating multimode fiber designed for optimum performance with high-speed Vertical Cavity Surfacing Emitting Lasers (VCSEL) transceivers. The refractive index profile is engineered to correct for the interaction between modal and chromatic dispersion increasing the total channel bandwidth. Current industry standards for OM3 and OM4 fibers neglect this interaction and as a result, channel reach can be significantly limited for a large population of VCSEL transceivers. Like OM3 and OM4 fiber types, the actual supported reach for Signature Core Fiber depends on the electrical and optical characteristics of the VCSEL 1 transceiver . Under worst-case conditions, Signature Core Fiber will provide at least a 20% increase in reach over uncompensated OM4 fibers. Under nominal conditions, Signature Core Fiber will support a 600m reach with 10GBASE-SR transceivers compared to a 400m maximum reach over OM4 2 as specified in IEEE 802.3 . Applying the 20% minimum increase in reach for OM4 reach published in FC-PI-5 for Fibre Channel communication yields a reach of 225 meters with a an 8G Fiber Channel transceiver (800-M5F-SN-I), and 150 meters with a 16G Fiber Channel transceiver 3 (1 600-M5F-SN-I) . Signature Core Fiber is 100% standards compliant meeting all OM4 specifications, with an additional requirement for Differential Mode Delay (DMD) 4 that compensates for modal and chromatic dispersion effects . application Data centers requiring quick infrastructure deployment with extended reach that want to maintain bandwidth throughout the infrastructure. construction physical properties Cable type: 3.0mm round indoor Cable outside 3.0mm diameter (OD): Cable Optical Fiber Non-Conductive jacket ratings: Plenum (OFNP) Minimum bend radius Under load: 20 x cable OD Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Static: 10 x cable OD Fiber types: OM4+ Signature Core Fiber Cable tensile strength 22N (installation): Connector end A: Type: MPO female Color: Black and Aqua Cable compressive load: 35N/cm short term Polarity: Method A 110N/cm long term Connector end B: Cable flex: 25 cycles Type: MPO female Color: Black and Aqua Cable twist: 10 cycles Polarity: Method A Fiber count: 12 Jacket color: Aqua optical properties environmental properties Maximum 2.3dB/km 850nm Storage and -40C to +70C cable attenuation: 0.6dB/km 1300nm shipping temperature: (-40F to 158F) Installation temperatures: 0C to +40C Maximum connector inser- 0.25dB (32F to 104F) tion loss: Operating temperature: 0C to +70C Minimum connector return 30dB (32F to 158F) loss: standards Meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.3, TIA-604-5 (FOCIS-5), TIA/EIA-568-C.1, RoHS compliant 1 The actual channel reach of a laser optimized, multimode fiber (OM3, OM4, or Signature Core ) depends on the optical and electrical parameters of the VCSEL transceiver. For worst-case optical and electrical parameters, Signature Core Fiber will provide at least 20% greater reach over standards un-compensated OM4 fiber. 2 OM4 fiber was ratified in the IEEE802.3/D3.0 proceedings from 15-Dec-2011, Table 52-6 with an Operating Range of 2 to 400 meters. 3 Reach values are a minimum. 4 Differential Mode Delay (DMD) is a metric defined in telecommunications industry association standard EIA/TIA 455-220-A, January 2003, which describes a method for measuring the modal dispersion of laser optimized multimode mode fiber. www.panduit.com QuickNet Signature Core Interconnect Cable Assemblies Part Number Example: FSTRP5N5NKNM001 = Fiber OM4+ Signature Core , 12- ber, 3.0mm round indoor, plenum rated, MPO female with no breakout to MPO female with no breakout, polarity Method A, Ultra IL, no pulling eye, 1 meter Character 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Example F S T R P 5 N 5 N K N M 0 0 1 6 Connector Type End A 10 Performance/Polarity 1 Type F = Fiber product 5 = MPO female K = Polarity A/Ultra IL 6 = MPO male 11 Pulling Eye 2 Fiber Type S = OM4+ Signature Core Fiber 7 Connector Variant N = No pulling eye 3 Fiber Count N = No variant 12 Unit of Measure 8 Connector Type End B M = meters T = 12-fiber 4 Cable Type 5 = MPO female 13, 14, and 15 Length R = 3.0mm round indoor 6 = MPO male 001 030 meters 9 Connector Variant 5 Flame Rating L = Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) N = No variant P = Optical Fiber Non-conductive Plenum (OFNP) Interconnect Cable Assembly Detail Length Notes: 1.
