TE Connectivity Sigma-Link copper cabling system

Thursday, 24 October, 2013 | Supplied by: Commscope


TE Connectivity’s (TE’s) pre-terminated cassette-based Sigma-Link copper cabling system has been upgraded to be compatible with the company’s Quick-Fit profile, making it compatible with TE’s Universal Connectivity Platform (UCP).

As a result, Sigma-Link Quick-Fit housings can now be ‘mixed and matched with other copper or fibre connectivity solutions in the same rack - and even in the same patch panel - providing designers and managers with flexibility for future upgrades and reconfigurations.

The Sigma-Link solution can be deployed in any application that requires copper twisted-pair cabling and can be used to connect users to switches, switches to other switches, or for switch-to-server links. It is designed to improve efficiency in network infrastructures by saving time and improving design flexibility. With its pre-terminated copper cable trunks, the Sigma-Link system enables the IT or data centre manager to quickly deploy a cabling channel with confidence in the installed performance.

Each pre-terminated assembly is factory tested, and the links are available in performance levels from Category 6 through to Category 7A, with a variety of configuration types and shielding constructions. The Sigma-Link system supports up to 10 GbE transmission and beyond, allowing very high bandwidth applications and protocols to be supported in the future.

The UCP system is designed to deliver rack efficiency and supports multiple media deployment. It comprises a range of components that include one common 19″ patch panel (either angled or flat), subfloor and overhead panel mounts, as well as Xtra-U panels for side mounting. All panels can be used to accommodate both copper and fibre cassettes/modules, and the units can be installed within or outside the traditional 19″ envelope.

Available as a Class FA (Category 7A) system, the Sigma-Link solution has the capability to support future ‘bandwidth-hungry’ applications and is prepared for the forthcoming Cat. 8 standard, the company says.
