FiberRunner
The FIBERRUNNER® and FIBER-DUCT™ Routing Systems consist of channels, fittings and brackets designed to segregate, route and protect fibre optic and high performance copper cabling. Network problems can cost large companies hundreds of thousands of dollars. A recent study found that companies can lose as much as 3.6% of their annual revenues to network downtime and service degradation.
Crushing, pinching, or microbending can result in impeded signal transmission and cable breakage. Bend radius violations, or macrobending, in fibre optic and copper cables can increase attenuation affecting overall system performance and cause fatigue leading to long-term signal failure. Therefore, improperly routed cables are at risk of being damaged and can result in service interruption and downtime. Identifying, testing, removing, and replacing a damaged cable is costly in terms of labour and network service interruptions.
A properly designed and installed FiberRunner Cable Routing System carries cabling along a logical route to minimize bends and optimize cable lengths while providing easy access to make moves, adds, or changes. A well-engineered and installed Cable Routing System costs a fraction of the potential downtime losses and day-to-day operating costs over the life of the network, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership.
Wyr-Grid
The Wyr-Grid® System is configured to route and protect cabling between the Main Distribution Area or Horizontal Distribution Area and the Equipment Distribution Areas. Key product features significantly reduce installation time, enhance cable management and improve user safety.
Because the pathway has no integral sidewalls, the need to cut the sidewalls at intersections, waterfalls, fabricated directional changes, and straight sections is eliminated. Intersection bend radius control accessories install with no hardware or tools and provide a three inch bend radius guide.
Splice connectors provide integral bonding, improving user safety. These features allow copper data cables to be effectively routed throughout the data centre. In applications where power cables are also routed overhead, another level of Wyr-Grid® Pathway can be added to manage these cables. In addition, premise distribution fibre cables can also be routed on a separate level of the Wyr-Grid® System.
