However, an inadequate cabling solution can mean serious implications in terms of system compatibility, performance and ROI1. CABLExpress® high-performance fiber optic cabling solutions will make sure you’re not sacrificing any of these. Brocade and CABLExpress Combine to Ensure Top Performance and Long-Term ROI. You’ve seen the benefits you get from Brocade hardware, now it’s time to ensure you’re getting the most out of it. When you cable up your Brocade switches with CABLExpress, you can: • Achieve optimal performance • Keep your cable management clean and neat • Stay in compliance with TIA-942 standards Vertical 12U • Future-proof migration for the next generations of hardware • Make maintenance on your switches much easier • Implement the highest performance cabling system Be protected whether you’re running 4, 8, 16 or even the proposed 32G Fibre Channel! Pages 6-11 showcase some of our design recommendations and Bill of Materials for 32-port, 48-port and 64-port line cards. Port Replication Port Replication is a patching system that mirrors (duplicates) the active electronics in a passive environment. This reduces cable management issues, decreases opportunities for patching errors and reduces wear and tear on the active ports. Our new 12U enclosure is the latest product set that replicates the new Brocade 64 port chassis blades. 1 4 Brocade www.brocade.com cablexpress.com We make your network...work™ ICL Cables We Have Cabling Solutions For Every Brocade® Switch Eliminate Cable Failures!
