Switch Port Equipment Harnesses

Switch port equipment harnesses are utilized in the switching area of the data center and to consolidate cabling. The LC to MPO harnesses connect six (6) or four (4) (depending on the switch blade layout), LC transceivers in the switch to a single MPO connector in an adapter panel installed in the switch cabinet to within 15m of the switch cabinet. This allows for consolidation of the switch ports into a single MPO connector. Panduit switch port equipment harnesses come in three different breakout arrangements shown below in Figure 4. Figure 5 illustrates the application.

Guide for Measuring QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assembly Lengths

Proper measuring for QuickNet ^™ Fiber Cable Assembly lengths is straightforward but does require some detailed information about the data center layout. For the most accurate length measurements, it is best to work from layout drawings and know the specific equipment to be used, the cabinet dimensions, and the desired positions in the cabinets of patch panels and equipment.

The illustration below shows a typical data center link and the sections that must be considered to properly measure for QuickNet ^™ Fiber Cable Assembly lengths. This example shows an overhead in-row installation. For other configurations, adjust accordingly. (For example, with underfloor configurations, measure down from the panels to the pathway).

Recommended Steps for Measuring QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assembly Lengths:

1. Calculate or measure the length of each section of the link.

a. Harness length: A1 + A2

b. Horizontal cable length: B + C + D

1. Round the total upward to the nearest foot to get the minimum QuickNet ^™ Fiber Cable Assembly length.

Figure 10 – End of Row Link

Link Sections and Guide for Measuring:

A In-cabinet length: The total length of the cable inside the cabinet (A1 + A2).

A1 – Horizontal distance from switch face to vertical manager – Panduit recommends 1m breakout or stagger to

allow for cable routing and management.

A2 - Distance from vertical manager to patch panel in cabinet - this can vary depending upon where the patch

panel is located within the cabinet.

B Patch panel-to-pathway length: The distance from the patch panel in cabinet to the cable pathway.

C Length along pathway: The total distance along the pathway between the cabinet entry/exit points.

D Pathway-to-patch panel length: Similar to B.

Length Measurement Example

Example: In-cabinet length: 72 in. (12 in. + 60 in.)

A1 – Distance from switch plate to vertical manager = 12 in. A2 – Distance from vertical manager to patch panel = 60 in.

B Patch panel-to-pathway length: 3 ft.

C Length along pathway: 16.5 ft. (assuming seven 24 in. wide server cabinets and cable exit on far side of 30 in. wide network cabinet = (7 × 2 ft.) + 30 in.)

D Pathway-to-patch panel length: 3 ft.

Total harness length = (12 in. + 60 in.) = 72 in. = 6 ft.

Total horizontal cable length = (3 ft. + 16.5 ft. + 3 ft.) = 22.5 ft. = 23 ft.

Tips for Measuring Lengths:

• The specified length of a QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assembly is the distance as measured from the front of the connector on one end to the front of the connector on the other end. Other than a nominal manufacturing tolerance there is no additional length built into a QuickNet™ Fiber Cable Assembly.
• Remember to account for any turns or obstructions in the pathway that may lead to additional length needed (for example, ducting, support posts, etc.).
• Cable assembly bend radius limits must be taken into consideration, especially for multiple turns within cabinets or as the cable assembly transitions to or from the pathways, and may require additional length of the assembly.
