DClink – Plug & Play
Kerpen Datacom’s DClink products stand for the highest quality and efficiency in data center cabling. Our factory-manufactured and carefully tested components offer a reliable solution that is tailored to individual requirements.
The DClink systems are flexible and scalable so that they can be optimally adapted to growing data volumes and new requirements. With up to 864 optical fibers in one height unit, they enable space-saving installation and maximum connection density.
5 ADVANTAGES OF THE DCLink range
- Flexible choice of transmission medium: DCLink offers the option of combining copper and fiber optic lines in one height unit to save space and supports a wide range of connector types (e.g. LC, MDC or MPO/MTP®). This makes DCLink ideal for both existing and future transmission solutions.
- Future-proof design and easy scalability: DCLink enables flexible adaptations to higher data rates (10, 40 or 100 Gbit/s) by simply replacing patch cords without having to change the basic installation. This keeps the solution cost-efficient and future-proof.
- High packing density and space-saving installation: With up to 864 fibers in one height unit, DCLink achieves an extremely high packing density. For copper solutions, the system offers up to 144 ports in a 3U module rack – ideal for space-saving data center installations.
- Guaranteed quality control and ready-to-use delivery: All DCLink components are factory assembled, tested and delivered ready for connection, which ensures immediate usability and high connection quality. The pre-assembled trunks and modules reduce installation time and minimize potential sources of error.
- Cost-efficient installation thanks to splice modules and MTP cabling: The DCLink splice modules enable quick and easy connection of loose tube cables and achieve high packing densities. MTP cabling does not require any additional connectors, which means that attenuation budgets are adhered to and costs for materials, measurements and installation are saved.
DClink complete link
DClink offers fast, ready-to-connect cabling for racks. The modules are available in various connector types such as LC, MDC or MPO/MTP® and are delivered pre-tested and ready to use – simply lay and plug in. Thanks to the continuous fiber optic connection without splices, the attenuation budget is easily met.
DClink – MPO
DClink with MPO connectors offers maximum flexibility and packing density for data center cabling, with up to 864 fibers in one height unit. The pre-assembled trunks enable simple upgrades of the transmission rate (e.g. 10 Gbit/s to 40 or 100 Gbit/s) by replacing the patch cords.
MTP in patch panel 10/25/40/100
MTP cabling is a cost-effective solution for data rates up to 100 Gbit/s right up to the patch panel. The ready-to-connect MTP trunks and modules do not require any additional connectors, thus reducing material and installation costs. Adjustments to higher data rates are only made by changing patchcords.
DClink splice modules
The DClink splice modules enable the direct connection of loose tube cables and achieve high packing densities of up to 96 fibers per height unit. The transmission rate can be increased to up to 100 Gbit/s at any time by replacing patch cables.
DClink – MegaLine®
DClink combines flexible copper and fiber optic links, ideal for MegaLine® Connect components. The 40 Gbit/s copper cabling with MegaLine® Connect100 connectors and pre-assembled 10 Gbit/s RJ45 trunks enable a space-saving installation with up to 144 ports in the 3U module rack.
