Fuji Electric unveils data center UPS for North American market

Fuji Electric Corp. of America announced that it will enter the North American uninterruptible power systems (UPS) market with a new model, aimed at the growing data center segment.

The UL-certified UPS7000HX-T3U Series is offered in 300, 400, and 500kVA power ratings, and is built on an open architecture for ease-of-installation and convenient service, says Fuji. The 480V 3-phase, 3-wire, transformer-less UPS is based on the manufacturer’s Reverse Blocking IGBT (RB-IGBT) technology, achieving efficiency ratings of over 97 percent.

As stated by Fuji Electric, the UPS7000HX utilizes its proprietary Advanced T-type Neutral Point Clamped 3-level circuit topology, which provides superior efficiency and effectively reduces the system’s total cost of ownership. By adopting the patented RB-IGBT technology, the company says it has achieved reduction in power losses, and has reduced the total number of components in the system.

As part of its channel strategy for the new product, Fuji Electric says it will partner with both national and regional integrators and service providers to penetrate markets that require mid-to-large sized uninterruptible power systems.

“Fuji Electric has been manufacturing and selling UPS products in the overseas market for over 30 years, so our expansion into North America was a natural progression for us,” says Phil Charatz, president and CEO of Fuji Electric Corp. of America. “The protection of valuable data is critical in today’s world, and the statistics regarding the cost of power outages to data centers are staggering. We are excited about this product launch, and we look forward to providing data centers and other mission critical applications with the peace of mind they need.”

Unirise says 28-AWG patch cord uses 50 percent less space in high-density installation pathways

Power cord and data cable manufacturer Unirise USA announced the release of its new ClearFit Slim patch cord, which the company claims uses 50 percent less space in pathways in high-density installations, offering improved energy efficiency and airflow, and a cleaner deployment.

The ClearFit Slim patch cord is available in industry-standard lengths and colors up to 100 feet, and is made with the proprietary Clearfit technology, which affords the cable a clear, easy-release, snagless retainer clip design. The smaller 28-AWG cable improves flexibility and has a tighter bend radius than larger traditional cords of the same gauge, says Unirise.

Amanda Garcia, national director of channel sales for Unirise, commented, “ClearFit Slim will enable end users to dramatically improve the airflow over their critical IT equipment, prolonging the life of that equipment and saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in replacement costs, all from one little cable.”

All ClearFit Slim patch cords are certified and tested to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards and are maintained by a limited lifetime warranty.

Super-duty cable tray splice plate reduces number of required structural supports

New from Thomas & Betts (T&B), the T&B Cable Tray Super-Duty Splice Plate may reduce costs by eliminating the need for additional supports at the expansion joint that the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) would otherwise recommend. It also can be used for midspan splicing.

“The Super-Duty Splice Plate is designed for expansion splicing, which reduces the number of additional supports required for structural integrity,” says Ralph Donati, product marketing director at T&B. “By also doubling as a midspan splice, it provides the contractor with greater flexibility in the use of materials and further reduces cost by reducing the number of stock-keeping units [SKUs] the contractor needs at the jobsite.”

The new splice plate also eliminates the need to drill and install additional hardware on the flange, notes T&B, saving additional installation time. It also features nylon washers that facilitate movement by reducing friction and require no lubrication of the side rail during installation or maintenance. The reinforced design of the plate provides rigidity, resistance and strength, and allows for true contraction and expansion under full loads.

Made of high-strength, heat-treated aluminum, the Super-Duty Splice Plate is 13 inches (330 mm) wide and rated for 6-inch aluminum side rails (Series AH36-AH66). The plate is predrilled for expansion and midspan applications, and is supplied with all hardware needed for both types of installations.

Panduit adds UTP, shielded Category 6A patch cords to small diameter 28-AWG cabling selection

Panduit has added UTP and shielded Category 6A performance patch cords to its existing 28-AWG cabling offering. The new cords enable unmatched ease of management in high density rack and panel configurations, as compared to 24-AWG patch cords, asserts the company.

According to Panduit, with a diameter of only 0.185 inch for both UTP and shielded versions, the new Category 6A patch cords occupy just 45 percent of the space of standard Category 6A 24-AWG patch cords, bringing the advantages of higher cabling density and increased pathway capacity to users of 10GBASE-T networks.

The company notes that, due to their significantly smaller size, more than twice as many of the new 28-AWG patch cords can fit within existing pathways, as compared to typical 24-AWG cords, providing immediate relief for congested pathways simply by using the smaller size cords.

Panduit adds that the new cords allow up to 27 percent more open space between cords on a panel, which provides increased visibility of port numbers and more room for accessing plugs and routing cords. As an indication of the growing market acceptance of smaller diameter cords, the company notes that it recently passed the 1 million mark in the total number of 28-AWG patch cords sold in 2015.

“The demand for small diameter cabling solutions continues to grow, showing that IT managers around the globe value the space-savings benefits these offerings bring,” comments Dennis Renaud, vice president of Panduit’s enterprise business. “As more types of enterprise systems are networked, it is driving the need to fit more equipment into overburdened telecommunication rooms and data centers. Panduit 28-AWG patch cords are a key piece of the solution that helps maximize this valuable real estate.”

Datwyler improves fibers in singlemode cables

Smaller bending radii, improved attenuation properties and higher transmission quality are the significant benefits passed on to Datwyler’s customers, the company asserts, as it switches to two new singlemode fibers based on G.652.D (BLO) and ITU-T G.657.A2 fibers.

According to a press release, in the future, the company’s fiber-optic (FO) indoor cables-previously incorporating bend-optimized singlemode ITU-T G.657.A1 fiber-will be supplied as standard by Datwyler with bend-optimized G.652.D bend-loss optimized (BLO) fiber, or optionally with bend-optimized ITU-T G.657.A2 fiber.

The latter has been tried and tested in FTTx networks and data centers, notes Datwyler, with users benefitting from a low bending radius of 10 to 7.5 mm for added operational safety.

The company clarifies that its FO Universal and FO Outdoor series cables will now no longer be offered with ITU-T G.657.A1 fiber but, from now on, in addition to ITU-T G.652.D, will be available with G.652.D BLO fiber.

“The convincing argument for this new fiber is not only that it has improved attenuation properties, e.g. ≤0.21 dB/km @ 1550 nm (installed), but also that it incorporates the essential advantages of the ‘old’ fibers, namely the comparatively large mode-field-diameter of G.652.D and the low bending losses of G.657.A1,” said a Datwyler representative.

The representative added that planners and network operators of LANs, data centers, FTTx and city networks “will gain from using the cables with the new G.652.D BLO fibers, in that they no longer have to allow for additional attenuation losses when connecting fibers of different mode field diameters. These fibers therefore give them and the companies installing them a greater safety buffer.”

Alliance promotes shortwave multiplexing over multimode fiber

Nine companies recently announced the formation of the SWDM Alliance (Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing)-an interest group with a stated purpose “to drive cost-effective utilization of duplex multimode fiber infrastructure in cloud and enterprise data centers.” The group will promote SWDM technology, “allowing data center operators to continue to extract value from their existing duplex multimode fiber deployments and extend the usable lifetime of newly deployed MMF,” the group said.

The SWDM Alliance’s founding members are CommScope, Corning, Dell, Finisar, H3C, Huawei, Juniper Networks, Lumentum and OFS. The alliance is neither a standards organization nor a multisource agreement, the group explained. It does not address market segmentation, pricing, or competitive issues.

“Optical shortwave technology is enabled by vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs),” the group stated, “which are the most cost-effective lasers used in data center interconnections. VCSELs have been widely deployed at data rates up to 10 Gbits/sec, and these deployments have driven large-scale installations of duplex multimode fiber in enterprise and cloud data centers. A common technique to increase the data rate beyond 10 Gbits/sec is the use of four parallel VCSELs, each running at 10 or 25 Gbits/sec, transmitted over ribbons of parallel fiber. This technique requires eight fibers instead of two-four to transmit and four to receive. Installing such parallel fiber can represent an expensive overhaul to the fiber plant in the data center due to the need for increased fiber capacity in the trunk and also new patch cables to the optical modules.”

“By contrast, SWDM technology allows users to leverage their installed duplex multimode fiber at 40 or 100 Gbits/sec, using four VCSELs operating at different wavelengths multiplexed onto a single strand of multimode fiber, thereby requiring only one transmit fiber and one receive fiber,” the SWDM Alliance further explained. "This provides the ability to migrate from 10 to 40 or 100 Gbits/sec while minimizing overall power dissipation and maximizing transmission distance."

Steffen Koehler, senior director of marketing at Finisar, added, “Multimode fiber and VCSEL technology have been the workhorse of the modern data center. SWDM builds on this history of cost-effective, high-bandwidth interconnect technology to continue the evolution of these data centers.”

AT&T, Comcast join TIA

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) recently announced that the TIA board of directors has approved eight companies as new members, including the addition of AT&T and Comcast.

Greenlee’s XT Cobalt step bits cleanly cut holes in stainless steel

Greenlee, a Textron company, announced that its new XT Cobalt Step Bits are designed specifically for drilling clean, smooth holes through stainless steel in commercial, industrial and residential applications.

“More users are working with stainless steel than ever before, and stainless steel is a very difficult material to drill or cut into,” comments Rob Bentley, product manager for Greenlee. “Contractors were asking us for a step bit that was tough enough to stand up to stainless steel. They prefer step bits over other solutions because a single bit can make multiple-sized holes in various materials and do it very quickly. With our new XT Cobalt Step Bits our users finally have a solution for stainless steel as well.”

Made in the U.S., the XT Cobalt Step Bits are available in 1/2”, 7/8” and 1-1/8” sizes and are engineered using high speed steel with a cobalt additive, which maximizes the bits’ resistance to the heat and abrasion created by drilling. These bits also feature a new split point tip that eliminates walking and penetrates 10GA stainless steel in under 10 seconds, adds the company. Like all other Greenlee step bits, the XT Cobalt series features a dual-flute design and a steam oxide finish.

The company notes that the new bits’ dual-flute design gives users two cutting edges that share the load and allows for faster cuts with less force, while the steam oxide finish penetrates the bit, enabling them to run cooler and last even longer. The XT Cobalt step bits can also cut through mild steel, copper, brass, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, wood and laminates.
