Patch cords save space on blade servers
New patch cords are ideal for use in high-density blade server patching schemes where capacity and accessibility are at a premium.
However, Brand-Rex acknowledges that there is a worldwide market for military grade tactical fibre cable, as advanced digitised command and control systems are implemented by many armed forces worldwide.
Complementary opportunities exist for this high performance product within the broadcasting industry and other specialist field deployable markets.
The new Brand-Rex tactical fibre cable has enhanced product performance, particularly in the area of ease of connectorisation and termination, where the products have been engineered to ensure a more robust and repeatable termination, significantly quicker than other products on the market.
It is also completely nonmetallic, flexible and designed to be very tough "We are delighted to be compliant with such a stringent MoD standard", said Chris Poole, Fibre Design and Development Engineer at Brand-Rex.
"Previously, we have supplied tactical fibre to projects such as the high profile MoD Bowman programme, again to this military specification, where the cable is used to connect vehicle to vehicle or in other in-theatre applications, for voice and data communications".
"Bowman type systems are designed to be the backbone for the digitalisation of the battlefield".
"Our new tactical fibre cable offering opens up new sales horizons beyond the UK MoD that we are very excited about and our latest approvals will help ensure that a Brand-Rex solution is very hard to beat".
