Conquers space constraints most advanced digital services providers are facing with the proliferation of fiber in their facilities.
PCT NEWS | January 29, 2015
PCT International, Inc. (PCT) a world leader in last mile products for the broadband industry, today announced the release of a new fiber management product designed to improve density and ease of fiber access enabling customers to scale operations along with growing subscriber revenues.
The innovative Ultra High Density Fiber Management System, PCT-UHD-FCRM, enables service providers to maximize equipment room space by allowing for installation of up to 32 fiber optic modules in a 3RU chassis, more than doubling the module density of legacy LGX systems. The new fiber management system also provides support for legacy LGX modules, half-width LGX modules, and the new ultra high density modules without the need for separate adapter panels or accessories. PCT-UHD-FCRM is the ideal solution to overcome the space constraints that most of the advanced digital services providers are facing with installing more fiber in existing facilities.
“Saving space and simplifying deployment of more services over the existing infrastructure is a critical factor in fiber design. The new PCT-UHD-FCRM Ultra High Density Management System delivers not only an innovative high density option for the industry, but sets the standard for flexibility, scalability and costs savings,” said Humberto Valdes, VP of Product Management. “Our new Ultra High Density fiber management system makes it possible for headends, central offices and data centers to resolve current space constraints and expand their services by combining their legacy LGX modules with the new ultra high density modules in the same platform.”
