Tyco's Ultra Slim gigabit ethernet cabling system

Tyco Electronics AMP NETCONNECT announces the general availability of its reduced diameter MRJ21 Ultra Slim gigabit ethernet cabling system.

The trimmed-down MRJ21 Ultra Slim cable assembly is 9.14mm in diameter, weighs 40 per cent less than comparable four-pair cabling systems, occupies 45 per cent less rack space, requires 25 per cent less power per port, and promises to help to reduce data centre operating costs.

The MRJ21 Ultra Slim cable assembly is a major development in the structured cabling marketplace, especially for data-centre customers who are seeking to optimise space in the rack, on the floor, and throughout cable pathways.

Installation of the MRJ21 Ultra Slim cabling system is six to ten times faster than four-pair cabling, with significant reductions in the cable management and routing problems of bundled cabling systems.

Engineered to support more ports per rack, the lean MRJ21 Ultra Slim cabling system supports six ports of Gigabit Ethernet interface, which dramatically increases the number of ports customers can include in a single rack.

Traditional four-pair cable bundles add weight and create clutter, the MRJ21 Ultra Slim cabling system reduces cable mass, bend radius and weight without sacrificing performance.
