[July 26, 2011] Optical Cable introduces new data center cabinet Tweet Jul 26, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Optical Cable Corporation, or OCC, a manufacturer of fiber optic and copper data communications cabling and connectivity solutions, has announced a new data center cabinet. The result, a cable friendly rack with plenty of room, perforated doors and rear PDU section for better airflow, and hinged side doors that can either be locked or removed, depending on the application. As an added bonus, the cabinet's sleek design and custom color options can give your server room the style it deserves, the company said. "OCC needed a cabinet solution that exceeded typical reliability and robustness expectations, in the same manner as our fiber optic and copper cabling and connectivity products." States Dr Ian Timmins, R&D Engineer "Now, data center operators can be prepared for the weight requirements and thermal demands of next generation server, switch and storage hardware using a complete production solution designed to be used together, all with the durability, reliability and performance OCC is known for." The cabinet features a rear PDU/cable section 6.5 inches deep, with plenty of room to attach power distribution hardware and secure multiple cable connections. Angled cable entries and exits allow easy access minimizing cable strain on power cords, and at the same time PDUs face outward, providing easy visibility to the operating power distribution system. The swing on the front can be reversed for easy access no matter what the siting demands. And with 63% perforation on the front and the rear doors, servers and switching hardware breathe easier and run cooler. The cabinet is part of OCC's full-service Data Center Solutions product line, featuring versatile enclosures and fiber optic and copper cable assemblies designed to meet every data center need. Maintaining OCC's reputation for optimum performance and reliability, these solutions are the answer for durable, easy-to install bend tolerant fiber optic cable as well as pre-term copper and connectivity solutions, the company added. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
