The InstaPATCH Plus System is designed to support locations, such as data centers, that require high-density, rapid deployment and high performance. The InstaPATCH Plus System incorporates SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED® multimode and TeraSPEED singlemode fiber technologies to support today's most demanding applications, while allowing easy migration to the next generation technology.
The G2 Series is part of the next generation SYSTIMAX 360™ solutions platform and is comprised of multifunctional fiber-optic shelves that are used for a combination of splicing and termination of fiber-optic building cable or outside plant (OSP) cables. The 360G2 fiber shelves are available in 1U, 2U and 4U sizes as well as sliding and fixed settings. The 4U version comes with a shelf assist which facilitates installation and ensures proper U spacing for shelf mounting. The shelf assist fits multiple rack types and supports heavy equipment.
The SYSTIMAX 360 1U optical fiber shelves are “iPatch-Ready” and can be upgraded in the field at a later stage with the 360 iPatch Upgrade Kit. The upgrade can be performed without network disruptions, since it does not require the removal of patch cords. The SYSTIMAX 360 solution offers customers the option to deploy intelligence immediately or in phases, according to their needs and budgetary requirements. By providing a clear strategy that includes an upgradeable product line, CommScope intends to bring intelligence to the masses and raise awareness of the business benefits of intelligent infrastructures.
