Ortronics Integrates New Line of OptiMo Fiber Optic Cabinets and Accessories With Mighty Mo 6 Advanced Cable Management System

Posted on: Monday, 20 June 2005, 12:00 CDT

NEW LONDON, Conn., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Ortronics/Legrand, a global leader in high performance structured cabling solutions, introduces a new range of OptiMo fiber optic products, including rack mount fiber cabinets, fiber adapter panels and innovative cable management accessories. Building on our tradition of innovation and attentiveness to the voice of the customer, the new line of OptiMo products offers improved cable management features and provides seamless integration with the Ortronics Mighty Mo 6 advanced copper and fiber cable management system.

Ideal for LAN or Data Center/SAN applications, Ortronics new OptiMo rack mount fiber cabinets are available in patch, splice, or patch/splice versions, in 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U sizes. They are engineered to provide unsurpassed stability and control of backbone cables as they enter the rear of the cabinet, and feature expanded rear access for easy installation and maintenance. The new cabinets are significantly deeper than competing solutions, providing more space and enhanced features for managing optical fibers. They are designed around the award winning 10.5" Mighty Mo 6 vertical channels, resulting in improved cable management and ensuring physical support of today's larger active electronics. As a complement to the improved cable and internal fiber management, there are newly added features on the front of the cabinets, which greatly enhance the management of fiber patch cords as they exit the cabinets.

"As we designed this new line of OptiMo products, we were careful to address the requirements that our customers have voiced to us," notes Mike Hines, vice president of fiber optic products for Ortronics/Legrand. "For instance, access to the rear of the fiber shelf is difficult with most commonly available fiber cabinet solutions. This can create difficulty particularly when using the splicing approach to fiber termination. Ortronics has solved this problem with a unique design that provides greater access, front and rear, and adds unique fiber management features to create a very user-friendly, stable installation."

The new line of OptiMo products also includes an enhanced range of adapter panels, available with SC and LC adapters for single-mode or multimode applications. Alternate connectors are available upon request.

These new products advance Ortronics commitment to customer focused innovation and demonstrate our core competence as a premier supplier of leading structured cabling solutions for all media including UTP, FTP, optical fiber and related Wi-Fi infrastructure products.
