R&M launches new Fiber Optics Raceway system

NEW DELHI, INDIA: R&M has launched a new fiber optic cable guidance product called the R&M Raceway System. This system is suitable for separate and protected cable guidance in datacenters and central distribution facilities of network operators.

It is a revolutionary step in Layer 1 solution portfolio. It can be installed in raised floors as well as above the racks. One can connect the Raceway System modules simply by snapping them together. No additional special tools are necessary. The range focuses on a small number of components, thus simplifying planning and ordering, warehousing and installation.

Essentially, the system consists of main raceways, junctions, curves and exits, all of which ensure up to 40 mm bending radius, a radius that is easy on fibers. The Raceway System is available in six sizes to accommodate 150 to 6000 jumper or patch cables. Cable exits can be attached anywhere along the main raceway without interrupting it or cutting it.

They are simply attached to the sides. With features like these, cable guidance can be flexibly adapted to the spatial conditions in datacenters or central offices, at hubs or co-location points. The fiber optic cabling can be shifted or added to without interrupting operations.

This system is compatible with legacy cable guidance systems and with other companies' systems that are commonly sold in the market. The modules are made of PC/ABS, plastics that are resistant to breakage and impact. This material is halogen-free and flame retardant, resistant to frost, heat and light and also resistant to electrical shocks.
