R&M to Introduce at Data Center World the OM5 Network Transformation Solution for Meeting Growing Bandwidth Demand
It's time for lime.

MILPITAS, Calif., March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- When people set out to ignite business revolutions, the last thing on their mind is MPO polarity management. However, R&M's OM5 fiber solution, set for introduction at this year's Data Center World, Los Angeles, will spark a revolution in simplifying network infrastructure.

With internal data center traffic expected to grow 80 percent over the next three years, networks are at risk of becoming bandwidth bottlenecks. To be prepared for upcoming traffic, data center professionals must now plan to support increased bandwidth by implementing optical fiber that enables simplified network transformation.

The world's greatest network revolutions all began for the same reason: a desire to reduce complexity. R&M's lime green OM5 solutions support duplex transmission up to future 200G, thereby removing all the cabling complexity that comes with MPO polarity management.

Data Center World demonstration and launch

At booth 1311, R&M will demonstrate Netscale, the world's highest-density fiber cable management solution, with R&MinteliPhy, which uniquely features integrated intelligent infrastructure management functionality in combination with the OM5 fiber solution. This enables data centers to run 40G and 100G Ethernet over LC patch cords. These will be available with R&M's innovative push-pull LC-QR patch cords, which offer the smallest diameter cable.

"After having set the benchmark in fiber network density, manageability and visibility, we are out to simplify network cabling with our lime green OM5 solution. It enables sending four wavelengths over a single multimode fiber, and is of course available with R&M's innovative push-pull LC-QR patch cords," concludes Dr. Thomas Wellinger, market manager data center for R&M.
