Performance:

• Constructed of high-quality fiber optic cable and components for future-proof support of critical data center links including 10 Gb/s as well as future 40 and 100Gb/s applications
• Factory terminated and tested connections guarantee maximum channel throughput without the performance variability of field terminations

Rapid Deployment

• Siemon plug and play systems can be deployed 75% faster than traditional field terminated fiber connections
• Systems are ordered to fit the application then simply pulled and plugged in

Efficiency

• Turn-Key Solution — No connectors, termination kits or consumables required
• Universal configuration eliminates polarity issues

High Density

• A Single MTP Connector and RazorCore cable replaces up to 24 individual fibers and connectors, reducing both cabinet and rack space usage as well as pathway space Scalable
• The system's flexible design allows additional links to be easily added as connectivity needs expand

Environmentally Sound

• Small diameter RazorCore cable help optimize data center airflow for energy efficient thermal management
• Factory terminations eliminate the scrap and waste associated with traditional field terminations

Fiber Plug and Play Components

Siemon Fiber Plug and Play Modules

• Simple MTP connections at the rear of each module provide up to 24 LC or 12 SC connections in a fraction of traditional termination times
• High-performance, factory terminated and tested connections eliminate the performance variability of field terminations
• Low profile, lightweight modules provide optimized adapter spacing for easy finger access to fiber
• jumper latches in high-density patching environments . Fits within standard Siemon fiber enclosures and Siemon VersaPODTM vertical patch panels.

Siemon's VersaPOD™ Data Center Cabinet Solution: Designed with Siemon's Plug and Play Solutions in mind Supporting System Overview

Siemon's Plug and Play system was designed to integrate seamlessly into the innovative VersaPOD cabinet to provide a rapidly-deployed, scalable and high-density data center infrastructure solution.

VersaPOD creates a completely new and efficient approach to your data center infrastructure. By leveraging the vertical space between bayed cabinets for patching and cable management, the VersaPOD frees critical horizontal space for active equipment, providing the ultimate density in the minimum floor space.

With options supporting both Siemon's plug and play modules as well as MTP^® adapter plates, The VersaPOD's innovative sliding Zero-U vertical patch panels (VPP) dramatically simplify even the most dense active equipment patching needs.
