The CABLExpress® Ladder Rack Enclosure is the first copper and fiber enclosure specifically designed to mount directly to overhead conveyance.
The enclosure lives on top of the rack, so you can stay in compliance with TIA-942 standards, free up valuable rack space, and minimize dB loss all while keeping up with increasing data demands.
Its easy, one person mounting saves time and money on install.
It accepts 16 modules or feed-through adapter panels, and can hold up to 192 LC duplex ports or 96 copper ports.
Best of all, the Ladder Rack Enclosure is backed by a lifetime warranty.
So call our experienced specialists today at 800.913.9465 to get the Ladder Rack Enclosures to complete the ideal, TIA-942 compliant solution in your data center!
We have a little saying around CABLExpress that we use often – “Respect Layer One.” And trust us, we put our money where our mouth is. Our most recent contribution is lowering the insertion loss of the fiber modules in all of our fiber optic enclosure product lines. This includes both the H-Series Enclosures and the RSD Series Enclosures.
“What does lowering dB loss mean?”
It means that any module in either family now has a MAXIMUM insertion loss of 0.4dB. Previously, our products were measured at (a still very low) 0.5dB. The term “maximum” is important – do not be fooled by “typical” results that some manufacturers will give you, which isn’t the best number to use when calculating a loss budget. Learn more about that here.
“Why does dB loss matter?”
As network speeds increase, loss budgets decrease (learn more in this short Cable Talk video). A product with a lower insertion loss will perform better and last longer in your data center. Just as important: with lower insertion loss products, you can follow TIA-942 data center design best practices and maintain a structured cabling system versus using a “point-to-point” methodology (otherwise known as the WRONG way). There is a Cable Talk video on structured cabling as well.
“Lowest dB loss on the planet…Really?”
Yes, at this time there are no other products that we have found with a maximum insertion loss better than 0.4dB! We call this a “game changer”!
“Thanks, but no thanks…Lowest insertion loss probably means the highest price on the planet. Times are tight; I can’t invest in this technology!”
At CABLExpress, we pride ourselves on value. Our products perform better than the “big dogs.” At the same time, we operate like a small company by providing you with great customer service and competitive pricing on our products. We always strive to improve product performance without increasing price to ensure our customers can afford an incredible structured cabling system that will last them for generations of hardware. Don’t take our word for it – shop around and compare specs versus pricing. Pound for pound, we are the best!
The enclosure is an integral part of data center design. You will learn how to select a single enclosure platform that will allow you to utilize a number of accessories and techniques throughout the lifespan of the data center.
In this webinar you will learn:
Role of the enclosure and best practices
Overview of design types and future-proofing your data center
Challenges that big switches pose for racks and cabinets (Enhanced Networking Enclosure)
Cooling and cable management issues and products (side car, horizontal trough, brush grommet kits, baffle kits, etc.)
Power and grounding

CABLE Talk with CABLExpress Product Manager Josh Taylor. A series of cable and data center tutorials that offer a unique perspective about the latest data center trends and best practices, as well as useful tips and tricks.
In this edition learn about the CABLExpress H-Series fiber optic enclosures. Features, benefits and explanations of uses. 10G aqua, data center, fiber optic cable, fiber patch panels, multi fiber trunking solutions.
Check out this podcast by our own Rick Dallmann as he shows how the new CABLExpress Fiber Enclosures and Modules better manage fiber cabling in a data center. The cables and modules support the current 10Gbps speeds, and are ready for the future with a rating for 40Gbps.
This pod cast was recorded by James Gaskin with “Technology is Broken” at the September BICSI show. This is good podcast to learn more about Datacenter speed trends and issues.
