CABLExpress, a division of CXtec, manufactures high-performance cabling, data center infrastructure products, and structured cabling solutions. We help you implement a cabling infrastructure that provides the quality and performance to make all your technology investments worthwhile.
CABLExpress began more than 40 years ago working to solve problems for mainframes in the data center. Our cabling expertise is guided by our experience with enterprise accounts, schools, financial institutions, retail, and medical facilities. We understand that hardware investments need to be optimized to meet the business goals of your company. We want to become your true partner, providing insight for the future, knowledge of current best practices, and personal assistance in data center design in every interaction you have with us.
The award-winning CABLExpress Multi-Path™ System handles multiple cabling light path solutions resulting in little disruption or added cost. Our Skinny-Trunk® Solution is a high-density, fiber optic product line that helps you maximize business value and prepare for future generations of upgrades.
We serve on the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Telecommunications Cabling Systems Engineering Committee (TR-42), which develops and maintains standards for optical fiber, balanced twisted-pair copper and other telecommunications and data cabling systems and components. We bring an in-depth understanding of current data center standards, such as ANSI/TIA-5683-D, ANSI/TIA-942-B, BICSI 002 and others.
Protect your critical assets with the highest-quality product, best service, optimum performance, and industry-leading innovation you can only get from CABLExpress.
Increasing data speeds have created challenges for data center managers designing fiber cabling topologies, such as polarity (light path).
This dilemma led us to design a new way to deliver a simple, effective system that handles multiple paths with very little disruption or added cost.
The CABLExpress Multi-Path™ system simplifies the cabling migration process and reduces the need for multiple transition components.

Port replication is a patching system that mirrors (duplicates) the active electronics in a passive environment.
This reduces cable management issues, decreases opportunities for patch errors and reduces wear and tear on the active ports. H-Series enclosures are designed specifically to replicate high-density director class switches.
This allows full replication in a Main Distribution Area (MDA) as recommended in the TIA-942 Data Center Standard. 48- and 32-port modules are also available to offer full replication for any density

H-Series 10U and 12U enclosures have modules designed specifically to replicate 32-, 48- and 64-port director class switches.
Available in vertical and horizontal orientations. We can match your switch port numbering exactly.
Developed to eliminate unnecessary obstructions and allow data center managers to easily access patch cabling in the front and rear of the patch panels.
The EA Series allows you to easily access patch cabling in the front and the rear of the patch panel. There is no top, or sides, to get in your way when accessing the fiber ports.
This makes installation and any moves, adds, and changes much easier in congested racks or cabinets.

Scalable
Faceplate options of (4) 12-port duplex LC modules per rack unit, or (2) 24-port duplex LC modules per rack unit
Space Savings
The complete system takes up 1U of space with a depth of 11”
Modular Cable Management
Ability to add front cable manager as needed
Low-Loss Components
Ensure your cabling solution will meet current, and future optical loss budgets
Labeling Card
Viewable and removable when you open the front door
Rear Cable Manager
Multiple tie-down slot positions make cable routing and cable management easy to accomplish
Our H-Series fiber enclosure solutions are available in both vertical (4U, 6U, 10U, 12U) and horizontal (1U, 10U) mounting configurations, allowing users to choose port orientation to mirror high-density switches.

1U Rack Mount Modules
Our 1U rack mount modules allow you to deliver port replication on a smaller scale, such as replicating a 4U chassis.
This allows you to maximize your rack space usage and still receive the myriad of benefits that port replication provides!
*Full density shown. Also available half-density LC or with MTP® feed-through adapter panels.
CABLExpress® H+ enclosures provide maximum scalability, allowing you to customize your layer one cabling infrastructure to your unique business needs.
Each sliding tray houses four modules, and each module contains six LC duplex ports. H+ enclosures provide optimal usability and manageability to allow for a seamless transition as you continue to migrate to higher speeds.
Featuring the highest port density for fiber optic cabling currently offered in the marketplace, H+ enclosures accommodate up to 288 duplex LC ports in a 4U, 144 in a 2U, and 72 in a 1U configuration.
Their unique design allows easy access to all ports and comes with integrated cable management features for a clean installation, while their front door provides protection for your cabling
For best cable management results, we highly recommend using the H+ enclosure with CABLExpress® Skinny-Trunk® 2mm round fiber jumpers

A majority of “defective” cables actually just have dirty end-faces! We recommend inspecting the end-faces of cables before installation, and then cleaning them if necessary.
End-face contamination can cause catastrophic failure. Particulates, skin oils, clothing fibers and other contaminants can decrease performance and cause channel errors – even causing DOWNTIME! These easy-to-use, one-click cleaners allow you to follow best practices without investing a lot of time. Remember to always inspect, clean, inspect and repeat if necessary.
