Belden IBDN FiberExpress optical-fibre systems are complete end-to-end cabling solutions capable of supporting both centralised and fibre-to-the-desk (FTTD) topologies.

Belden IBDN FiberExpress optical-fibre systems are complete end-to-end cabling solutions capable of supporting both centralised and fibre-to-the-desk (FTTD) topologies, as well as backbone and campus configurations.

Used to support gigabit and multigigabit communications protocols and networked applications, Belden IBDN fibre-based systems meet or exceed all applicable TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC and IEEE standards.

Fibre systems offer greater bandwidth, high transmission speeds, extended reach, greater fault tolerance and optimum data security.

By using both modular and preterminated components, the FiberExpress systems also simplify the design and the installation of a fibre system.

Fully customised and tested solutions are available to provide the most flexible, reliable and cost effective network infrastructure.

Components of the FiberExpress systems include: multimode and single-mode cables; the modular FiberExpress Manager; wall mount and rack mount patch panels with adapter strips; fibre patch cords and pigtails; Optimax field-installable connectors; and multimedia outlets.

A cornerstone of the system is the FiberExpress Manager.

Used in either the equipment room or in the telecommunications room, this vital system component represents a scalable, modular approach to cable system design, installation, termination and maintenance.

High-quality Optimax field-installable connectors provide fast LC, SC or ST compatible optical cable termination.

Another modular component, the FiberExpress Bar, is a compact, versatile and resilient linking panel that resembles a power bar.

It is useful in consolidation points or as a multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly.

Belden IBDN preterminated technology will help preserve the user's initial investment by its ability to be easily redeployed, while always ensuring quality results.

The preterminated components also are ideal for temporary situations such as trade fairs, conventions, urgent installations and recovery sites.
