OFS LAUNCHES MINIPACK™ INTERCONNECT CORDAGE AT BICSI FALL CONFERENCE 2009
Increased Energy Efficiency and Cost-Saving Opportunities for High-Bandwidth Applications
BICSI 2009, Booth 216, Las Vegas, Nevada, September 21, 2009 - OFS, designer, manufacturer and supplier of leading edge fiber optic network products today announced the launch of its MiniPack™ Interconnect Cordage engineered for customers needing a compact, high-performance cordage optimized for use with high-density, multi-fiber connectors. This cordage allows easy termination of these connectors and is fully compatible with industry standard equipment.
“The MiniPack cordage’s small size reduces congestion to minimize heat loads, thereby helping to lower energy costs and, in turn, to reduce our customers’ operating expenses,” said William Kloss, Executive VP of Marketing & Sales, North America & CALA. “It is an ideal choice for premises applications in data centers, traditional enterprise cabling networks and other high-bandwidth applications.”
When used with OFS’ LaserWave® 300 Multimode fiber, the MiniPack cordage helps customers reap the benefits of OM3 fiber, including superior performance for short-distance, high data rate communication.
This plenum-rated cordage features a non-lead PVC outer jacket and complies with RoHS requirements, making it an environmentally-friendly option for premises use. The MiniPack cordage also meets stringent NFPA 262 requirements to limit flame spread and smoke emissions.
