• Fiber optic cords carry far more services and much greater throughput than traditional copper services and downtime or outages can cost tens of thousands of dollars per second in lost revenue for each cord damaged.

• Good fiber protection is absolutely essential.
• Fiber cords are fragile and need to be correctly protected throughout any cabling installation from end to end.
• Traditional cable routing on open cable trays and ladders may cause damage to the delicate fiber cables. These methods of routing cables provide no protection for the exposed fiber.
• Fiber cords need to be segregated from all copper services and routed in enclosed duct raceway, clearly defined by means of a bright distinctive colour. They also need protection against compression, and the minimum bend radius, generally specified as 30mm (1.25") must not be compromised.

We can understand the importance of using the Fiber Optic Management System in the data center.

Fiber optic ducting raceway is the best way to safely route cords and clearly segregate them from other services.

By selecting a ducting raceway system for fiber optic cords many factors need to be considered.

• Labor costs incurred in installing cabling infrastructure in telecommunications exchanges or data centres can be very expensive if the system chosen is not easy to install.
• All plastic based products used should be self-extinguishing and halogen free to avoid the risk of harming staff, transmission equipment, rescuers or buildings in the case of a fire.
• All plastic based products should be ROHS compliant

The need for zero down-time when using optical fiber. The system chosen should be easily changed or extended without the need to remove the existing fiber or shut down services.
