Base-8 Fiber Cabling System
Save capital expenses, rack space, and power requirements with Base-8 connectivity
Product Overview
Why It Makes Sense For You
Base-8 fiber cabling is designed to save capital expenses, rack space, and power requirements. Driven by applications that require eight fibers with four lanes dedicated for Transmit (Tx) and four lanes for Receive (Rx), Base-8 fiber cables are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of settings including enterprise, colocation data center, multi-tenant data center or simple equipment closets.
Features
Future Proof
Base-8 fiber optic cabling connectivity allows for seamless upgrades from 40G-SR4 to 100G-SR4, 200G-SR4, 400G-SR4 and beyond.
Capital Savings
Breaking out 8-fiber SR4 MPO cable switch ports to 4 x 2-fiber duplex LCs reduces switch quantities by 75 percent.
Power Savings
Base-8 fiber cabling breakouts can reduce electric power consumption by more than 50 percent.
Rack Space Savings
Base-8 assemblies facilitate 100 percent fiber utilization for parallel optics applications (SR4, SR4.2, DR4, PSM4) when compared to Base 12 connectivity.
New and Improved PanMPO
Panduit Base-8 assemblies are available with the new and improved PanMPO connector.
Versatility
Can be installed in any enterprise, colocation data center, MTDC, or hyperscale data center or simple equipment closets.
