Cabling Installation & Maintenance is one of my favorite industry pubs – so I was excited to see our Skinny-Trunk assemblies featured after reaching 0.25-dB insertion loss. Check out the article here: MTP assemblies achieve 0.25-dB insertion loss per mated pair.

We’re extremely proud of reaching 0.25dB, but we’re not stopping there! The CABLExpress product team will continue to push for better and better performance out of our Skinny-Trunk fiber optic cabling solution.

Maintaining our position as a leading manufacturer of high-performance cabling products, CABLExpress® lowered the maximum insertion loss of its Skinny-Trunk® fiber optic cables to an industry best 0.25dB per mated pair. Fitted with MTP® connectors, the Skinny-Trunk fiber optic assembly will enable data centers to stay within loss budgets while running networks at 10G, 40G and eventually 100G Ethernet.

Mark Fabbi, VP, Distinguished Analyst of Gartner, Inc. says:

“2012 will be the year where 10G attached servers become the norm which in turn will drive demand for 40G and eventually 100G within the enterprise data center. Enterprises are encouraged to rethink the physical data center architecture and prepare for increased fiber deployment to support 40/100G backbone requirements.”

This is the second time in as many years CABLExpress lowered the insertion loss of its Skinny-Trunk fiber optic assembly. It previously held an already industry best of 0.35 dB loss. However, improvements to the cable manufacturing process and extensive production testing produced a maximum rate of 0.25dB.

The Skinny-Trunk fiber optic assembly comes standard with a lifetime warranty.

CABLExpress is exhibiting at 2012 NY Tech Summit, June 21-22 at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona NY. Why should you be there?
