Related Components for the 360G2-1U-IP and 360G2-2U-IP Shelves

Contact your SYSTIMAX sales representatives for more information on a wide variety of modules, panels,
trunk cables and accessories that are compatible with these shelves.

Precautions
• InstaPATCH Plus modules contain fiber optic cable and passive optical components. When
removed from protective packing, they should be handled carefully and installed in appropriate racks
for mechanical support and protection.
• InstaPATCH Plus modules require virtually no maintenance to maintain their performance. They
contain no user-serviceable components, and any damage to the anti-tamper label or removal of top
cover or front adapter mounting panel will void the warranty.
• Fiber optic trunk cable and jumper performance is sensitive to bending, pulling, and crushing.
Minimum bend radius must be maintained during installation per the manufacturer’s specification.
Appropriate pulling grips must be used during installation, and pulling forces shall not exceed
manufacturer’s recommendations. Use caution to avoid kinking trunk cables.
• Care should be taken not to compromise the stability of the rack by installation of this equipment.
• To be installed in restricted access areas only.

Cautions
• Isopropyl Alcohol is flammable, and can cause eye irritation on contact. If eye contact occurs, flush
with water for at least 15 minutes. In case of ingestion, consult a physician. Use only in well
ventilated areas
• Disconnected optical components may emit invisible optical radiation that can damage your eyes.
Never look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. Serious and

Page 2

Issue 1, March 2009

permanent retinal damage is possible. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult
a physician for an eye examination.
• Wearing safety glasses during installation of this shelf is recommended. Although standard safety
glasses provide no protection from potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental
airborne hardware and cleaning solvents.

Connector Cleaning
• InstaPATCH Plus modules are pre-terminated, with either protective dust caps (SC, ST) or spring-
loaded shutters (LC) installed on all adapters. Connectors internal to the adapters are clean when
purchased.
• Clean trunk cable and jumper connectors per manufacturer’s recommendations prior to connection to
the shelf.
• If trunk cables or jumpers are removed, replace provided dust caps (SC, ST) on the adapters to
protect the internal connectors.

Precautions
 InstaPATCH Plus modules contain fiber optic cable and passive optical components. When
removed from protective packing, they should be handled carefully and installed in appropriate racks
for mechanical support and protection.
 InstaPATCH Plus modules require virtually no maintenance to maintain their performance. They
contain no user-serviceable components, and any damage to the anti-tamper label or removal of top
cover or front adapter mounting panel will void the warranty.
 Fiber optic trunk cable and jumper performance is sensitive to bending, pulling, and crushing.
Minimum bend radius must be maintained during installation per the manufacturer’s specification.
Appropriate pulling socks must be used during installation, and pulling forces shall not exceed
manufacturer’s recommendations. MPO terminated trunk cables may use ribbonized fiber optic
cable, which has a preferential bend axis. Use caution to avoid kinking trunk cables.
 Care should be taken not to compromise the stability of the rack by installation of this equipment.
 To be installed in restricted access areas only.

Cautions
 Isopropyl Alcohol is flammable, and can cause eye irritation on contact. If eye contact occurs, flush
with water for at least 15 minutes. In case of ingestion, consult a physician. Use only in well
ventilated areas
 Disconnected optical components may emit invisible optical radiation that can damage your eyes.
Never look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. Serious and
permanent retinal damage is possible. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult
a physician for an eye examination.
 Wearing safety glasses during installation of this shelf is recommended. Although standard safety
glasses provide no protection from potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental
airborne hardware and cleaning solvents.

Connector Cleaning
 InstaPATCH Plus modules are pre-terminated, with protective dust caps installed on all adapters.
Connectors internal to the adapters are clean when purchased.
 Clean trunk cable and jumper connectors per manufacturer’s recommendations prior to connection to
the shelf.
 If trunk cables or jumpers are removed, replace provided dust caps on the adapters to protect the
internal connectors.

SYSTIMAX® InstaPATCH® Plus
Cable Attachment Brackets

SYSTIMAX® InstaPATCH® Plus factory-terminated trunk cables include a cable


strain relief fitting allowing the cable to be attached to brackets or to the shelf,
providing improved strain relief. When attached by the cable strain relief fitting,
the connectorized legs are protected from forces applied to the cable itself.
This convenient mounting aids in properly routing the cable as it enters the
shelf or rack. The fitting can attach to the ports at the rear of the G2 1U & 2U
shelves, to brackets mounted on the rack or to brackets mounted on the G2
4U shelf.

Design and Performance Specifications of Common


Configurations for Data Center Network Connectivity

The following illustrations identify various links between different areas within a data center
network environment. These configurations contain direct-connect, inter-connect, and cross-
connect architectures. Connection schemes may vary between data center size and complexity.
Direct-Connect Configuration
The most basic structured cabling architecture is direct-connect. In the direct-connect
configuration, all the servers are directly connected to the switches through a common
patching apparatus. This configuration directly connects server hosts or storage targets to
network switches without the use of an inter-connect or cross-connect field. The ultra high
density fiber shelves are located in the cabinet of that holds the SAN directors.
The direct-connect configuration is ideal for environments with low or zero change rate,
storage equipment within close proximity to SAN directors, or where rack and floor space
is at premium. Benefits of inter-connect rely heavily on the grade of fiber cabling chosen
and footprint of the supported area.

Inter-Connect Configuration
Inter-connect structured cabling allows for greater physical layer control in data center
networking areas than direct-connect. The diagram shown places the inter-connect where the
highest frequency of Moves, Adds, or Changes (MAC) occur, between the server and SAN
director. In the inter-connect architecture, all the servers are connected to a consolidation
point between server cabinets and network directors. A zone box may be found between the
SAN directors and storage equipment area. The UHD fiber shelves are located in the SAN
and connect to each inter-connect and floor box with the use of MPO Trunk Cables.
The inter-connect configuration is ideal structured cabling solution for SAN environments
that need to manage their physical layer infrastructure with a low change rate in the server
and storage areas.

Cross-Connect Configuration
Cross-connect structured cabling allows for MAC activity to be performed away from the
active equipment. The diagram shown places the cross-connect where the highest
frequency of Moves, Adds, or Changes (MAC) occur, between the server and SAN director.
In the cross-connect configuration, all the servers are connected to a patching field between
server cabinets and SAN directors. A zone box may be found between the SAN directors
and storage equipment area. The ultra high density fiber shelves are located in the SAN area
and connect to each inter-connect and the floor box with the use of MPO Trunk Cables.
The cross-connect SAN configuration is the ideal structured cabling solution for SAN
environments that need to manage their physical layer infrastructure with high rates change
rate in the server and storage areas. Physical layer intelligence is available in cross-connect
patching fields that is not available in inter-connect or direct-connect configurations.

Data Center Usage


The UHD fiber shelf was designed for use in SAN environments allowing for high density
scenarios requiring duplex LC jumpers. High density environments would require up to
1056 duplex LC ports per network cabinet. The UHD fiber shelf supports up to 2112 fibers
using (15) UHD InstaPATCH plus (LC patch cords) or (3) UHD MPO pass through (array
patch cords) shelves. The table below gives a break down of the density benefits of the
UHD shelf in data center network cabinets for both 42 and 45u network cabinets.

The following diagrams show the physical layout of a 45U network cabinet supporting (2)
directors and InstaPATCH 360 UHD fiber shelves in the same cabinet. 2u was reserved at
the base of each director for horizontal patch cord management. High density
environments also require the use of vertical patch cord management to preserve the
separation and accessibility of patch cord bundles and are recommended to be placed in
800MM wide network cabinets or 600MM wide network racks with dedicated cable
managers on each side.
In these scenarios each set of (6) UHD shelves is provisioned to support a single director
in the 384 duplex LC port examples, however 11 UHD fiber panels can also support this
port count, but would require that a UHD shelf be shared between directors. The scenario
showing 512 duplex LC ports per director would require UHD MPO shelves and array
patch cords to support this density.
