October 22, 2013 – Belden has released its line of FiberExpress Ultra HD fixed shelves, suited for pre-terminated fiber systems in data centres and enterprise LAN installations. The fixed shelves boast a lightweight one-piece design, allowing installation to be easily completed by a single installer, as well as multiple mounting depths and removable doors to ensure fit and usability even in the tightest mounting location.

EBMag’s associate editor Alyssa Dalton saw the line at BICSI’s Fall 2013 Conference as it showcased the Erika Violet trend, which according to Dwayne Crawford, product manager at Belden, is now gaining popularity in North America. Here, we learned that Erika Violet is a way for technicians to quickly identify OM4 fiber, “especially when staring at the front of a panel where all the adapters look the same”, says Crawford.
