How to Use QuickNet Fiber Cable AssembliesThe following sections illustrate and describe in greater detail how QuickNet Fiber Trunks, Interconnects, Harnesses, and PatchCords, Cassettes and Patch Panels, are used in common data center cabling configurations.Two-Connector InterconnectIn this configuration, a permanent link is installed between QuickNet Patch Panels in the switch/network cabinet and the serveror storage cabinets. The most common, flexible and upgradeable QuickNet Fiber solution is shown in Figure 2, below.Figure 2 – Two-Connector ChannelQuickNet PanMPO to PanMPO Cable Assembly (trunk/interconnect)QuickNet Patch PanelQuickNet Patch PanelOR6-port LC to MPOCassetteMPO FAPQuickNet MPO to LCHarnessORLC to LCPatch Cord6-port LC to MPOCassetteLC to LCPatch CordSystem p5System p5System p5System p5System p5System p5Switch/NetworkCabinetServer or StorageCabinetwww.panduit.com3

Four-Connector Cross ConnectIn this configuration, permanent links are installed between QuickNet Patch Panels in the switch/network cabinet and server orstorage cabinets and a common cross connect cabinet or rack. In this scenario, any fiber from any switch port or server uplink canbe routed to anywhere within the datacenter. This option allows for easy moves, adds, or changes. The most common, flexible,and upgradeable QuickNet Fiber solution is shown in Figure 3, below.Figure 3 – Four-Connector Channel with Cross ConnectQuickNet PanMPO to PanMPO Cable Assembly (trunk/interconnect)QuickNet PanMPO to PanMPO Cable Assembly (trunk/interconnect)QuickNet Patch PanelQuickNet Patch PanelQuickNet Patch PanelORMPO FAPQuickNet MPO to LCHarness6-port LC to MPOCassetteORLC to LCPatch Cord6-port LC toMPO CassetteQuickNet Patch Panel6-port LC to MPOCassetteLC to LCPatch Cord6-port LC toMPO CassetteLC to LCPatch CordSystem p5System p5System p5System p5System p5System p5Switch/NetworkCabinet4 www.panduit.comCross ConnectCabinetServer or StorageCabinet

Switch Port Equipment HarnessesSwitch port equipment harnesses are utilized in the switching area of the data center and to consolidate cabling. The LC to MPOharnesses connect six (6) or four (4) (depending on the switch blade layout), LC transceivers in the switch to a single MPOconnector in an adapter panel installed in the switch cabinet to within 15m of the switch cabinet. This allows for consolidationof the switch ports into a single MPO connector. Panduit switch port equipment harnesses come in three different breakoutarrangements shown below in Figure 4. Figure 5 illustrates the application.Figure 4 – Harness Configurations12 Fiber Harness with Equal Breakouts12 Fiber Harness with Staggered Breakouts12 Fiber Harness with Staggered Breakouts with Two Equal LegsFigure 5 – Switch Port Equipment HarnessesQuickNet Patch PanelExample of Duplex LCTransceiver to MPOHarness PatchingQuickNet MPO to LCHarnessSwitch/Network Cabinetwww.panduit.com5

HDQ Series High Density CassettesThe QuickNet HDQ Series High Density Fiber Optic Cassettes can be used in high density network applications for crossconnects to assist with switch port replication. These cassettes mirror 32-port and 48-port Cisco blades and 32-port, 48-port and64-port Brocade blades as shown in Figure 6. These give the end user (at a cross connect area) the ability to visualize the bladeport location when conducting moves, adds, or changes.

Guide for Measuring QuickNet Fiber Cable Assembly LengthsProper measuring for QuickNet Fiber Cable Assembly lengths is straightforward but does require some detailed information aboutthe data center layout. For the most accurate length measurements, it is best to work from layout drawings and know the specificequipment 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 A2b. Horizontal cable length: B C D2. Round the total upward to the nearest foot to get the minimum QuickNet Fiber Cable Assembly length.DCBA2AA1Figure 10 –End of Row LinkLink Sections and Guide for Measuring:In-cabinetlength: The total length of the cable inside the cabinet (A1 A2).AA1 – Horizontal distance from switch face to vertical manager – Panduit recommends 1m breakout or stagger toallow for cable routing and management.A2 – Distance from vertical manager to patch panel in cabinet – this can vary depending upon where the patchpanel is located within the cabinet.Patchpanel-to-pathway length: The distance from the patch panel in cabinet to the cable pathway.BLengthalong pathway: The total distance along the pathway between the cabinet entry/exit points.CPathway-to-patchpanel length: Similar to B.D12 www.panduit.com

(assuming seven 24 in. wide server cabinets and cable exit on far side of 30 in. wideCnetwork cabinet (7 x 2 ft.) 30 in.)Pathway-to-patchpanel length: 3 ft.DTotal 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 theconnector on one end to the front of the connector on the other end. Other than a nominal manufacturingtolerance 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 withincabinets or as the cable assembly transitions to or from the pathways, and may require additional length ofthe assembly.www.panduit.com13
