Description
Plug&Play-concept
The Nexans’ Plug&Play concept is specially designed for the LAN and data centre environment. It facilitates fast installation of a large number of fibre connections, high density, quick changes with limited down time and an easy migration path to future applications.
The Plug&Play system consists of 3 subcomponents: the MTP-MTP Pre-Term, the Plug&Play modules and the Plug&Play patch panel.
The MTP-MTP Pre-Term provides the connectivity between 2 Plug&Play modules installed in the Plug&Play patch panels in 2 different racks. The MTP connector allows to quickly connecting the 12 fibres of the MTP-MTP Pre-Term at the back of each Plug&Play module. Inside the Plug&Play module the fibres are spread out towards the LC connectors at the front.

Optical performance and polarity method
Nexans’ Plug&Play modules and fibre assemblies are available in 2 performance grades: LANmark-OF MPO connectivity and the newly introduced LANmark-OF MPO low loss connectivity. With the low loss connectivity insertion loss has been reduced by 40 %. It enables more complex data centre configuarations, extended reach, more head room and a migration path to 40G/100G.
The fibre assemblies are available as LANmark-OF OM3 and LANmark-OF OM4 for extended reach. The Plug&Play modules have LANmark-OF OM4 performance and are backwards compatible with LANmark-OF OM3.
With LANmark-OF OM4 and the low loss solution up to 8 modules can be installed for an operational 10G channel. For 40G/100G a 4 connector channel up to 120 m can be supported.
Polarity in the optical channel during installation is guaranteed due to a pair flip fibre construction. This is in agreement with standard TIA 568-B-1-7-2006 method C. It allows the continuous use of the standard patch cord eliminating the need to buy optically straight and crossed patch cords. Also polarity is maintained with the same type of cassette on both sides of the channel without the need to flip the cassette on one side.
