Chatsworth N-Series TeraFrame network cabinet for Cisco Nexus 7018
Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI) has released an N-Series TeraFrame Network Cabinet engineered for the Cisco Nexus 7018 Switch. It was designed and tested, according to CPI, “to deploy the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series 18-slot switch in a hot aisle/cold aisle layout”. It also supports a mix of patch panels and fiber enclosures above the switch. To work for the 7018 switch, the TeraFrame provides a wide-framed cabinet solution that allows thermal and cable management, and physical support. The cabinet is constructed with an integrated network switch exhaust duct that converts the side-to-side airflow pattern into a front-to-rear pattern. Alongside this, the cabinet includes offset removable doors and side panels to allow better airflow and easier access to equipment and cabling. Finally these doors are perforated to, again, promote airflow and space. The TeraFrame also features other support solutions such as plastic T-shaped cable management fingers with openings to align rackmount units and organize cables. Also, full-length brush-sealed openings on the top panel allow cables to enter and exit the management space. The cabinet also allows for support through two pairs of 19-in. EIA mounting rails, and 42U or 45U of vertical mounting space. The TeraFrame is available in two heights and three depths to match site requirements.

Chloride MOD10 series three-phase UPS system
May 19, 2010
Chloride North America launched its MOD10 Series―an online three-phase UPS system featuring a modular, vertically scalable rack-mounted design. The MOD10 provides adaptable backup power that promises to lower total cost of system ownership, reduce required floor space and help sustain vital network uptime. Users add only as many 10 kVA 2U-sized modules to their MOD10 system as required (up to 50 kVA or 100 kVA). Installation of the hot-swappable modules can be performed without system shutdown, and does not require senior technical personnel. It can be deployed as a primary source for small to medium data centres or as an end-of-row redundant source in larger installations. Redundant modules and battery packs coupled with a static switch system enable the MOD10 to deliver 99.999% availability.

Panduit LC SC SFQ QuickNet fiber optic trunk cabling
May 13, 2010
Panduit asserts its LC/SC SFQ QuickNet FO trunk cabling is ideal for high-density network applications, delivering reliability and scalability in a cost-effective design. The system consists of pre-terminated LC and SC cassettes, cable assemblies and enclosures. The components work together to achieve up to 96 fiber connectors in a single rack space, with good cable access and management capabilities. QuickNet fiber and copper cassettes feature the same form factor, allowing flexibility within the QuickNet patch panels to provide a unified pre-terminated solution. Assemblies are built with OM3/OM4 laser- optimized fiber to provide 10 Gb/s ethernet performance up to 300/550 metres (per IEEE 802.3ae 10 GbE standard ) and 8 Gb/s FC performance up to 150/190m (per ANSI FC-PI-4 8GFC standard) while maintaining compatibility with legacy systems. Panduit LC/SC SFQ small form factor QuickNet trunk cable assemblies are part of the QuickNet copper and fiber system.
