[May 10, 2013] CABLExpress Rolls Out Conversion Modules to Aid with Migration to Higher Network Speeds Tweet May 10, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- CABLExpress has announced the launch of its 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) conversion modules, which will allow for a seamless transition as customers migrate to higher speeds in their data centers. According to a release, the CABLExpress MTP to MTP conversion modules, which replace the standard LC to MTP modules, transform two 12-fiber paths in the rear to three 8-fiber paths in the front. This conversion makes use of all "dark fiber," therefore increasing efficiency of the cabling plant and enabling the shift to 40GbE speeds. "The conversion modules are an ideal solution for customers who currently are or will be making the transition to higher speeds in their networks," said Matthew Graham, director of CABLExpress. "The integration of these modules will allow for maximum use of fiber capacities and ensure that customers are getting a full return on their data center investments." The CABLExpress conversion modules feature: -Factory-terminated and pre-tested fibers that allow for simple plug-and-play installation -Ultra low-loss components that provide flexibility in fiber network design -Aggregated fibers that obtain the parallel signal required for 40GbE multimode transceivers -Design that directly integrates with the CABLExpress Skinny-Trunk Solution and the recommended TIA-942 structured cabling standard The modules are available in H-Series (1U, 6U and 10U) and RSD Series (1U, 2U and 4U) footprints.
