Hi Yuri,

First off, I'd direct you to a recent Webcast on the Cabling Installation & Maintenance (CI&M) site, Fiber in the Data Center, involving representatives from the companies ADC, OFS and Brocade.

Also on the CI&M Web site, we recently featured this product from LightWave Manufacturing & Services LLC: Data center patch system incorporates 1728 fibers in 4U chassis

Further, CI&M's sister site, Lightwave, recently published this article, which might interest you: SFP+ and EDC: The 10-Gigabit Ethernet 'Game Changer'

And here's a white paper/case study (in PDF format) from ADC that I happened to find on the Web: Managing High-Density Fiber in the Data Center

Other companies you'll want to check out include: Siemon; Chatsworth Products; Panduit; Corning Cable Systems; and CommScope/Systimax.

Hope this helps!

Hello Math,

Thank you for your answer.

What do you recommend for termination of F/UTP Cabling en Data Center Gabinet (High Density)(+500)?
I dont had good experience with angled patch panels.

Best Reggards,

Yuri

CI&M recently ran this article, Product Focus: Patch Panels; there are some alternatives to angled solutions covered therein.

Also, Siemon has online an excellent assortment of instructional videos for installers, and one of them deals with F/UTP termination: F/UTP Industrial MAX Module Instructional Termination Video.

Here's the link to all the videos: www.siemon.com/us/download/video.asp#video.

Thanks for your interest, Yuri! Hope to hear more from you.
