Intermediate Distributor In Raised Floors
Published Dec 20, 2010

Swiss cabling specialist R&M (www.rdm.com) has developed a new subfloor cabling solution for data centers. The R&M raised floor solution serves as an intermediate distributor in double floors in zone distribution and storage areas. It replaces patch panels in the racks or cabinets, freeing up space there for active components. Product Manager Rolf Zollinger says: “With this platform data centers can boost their productivity at a reasonable cost without any increase in surface area." The new advance is an aid in increasing the equipment density in computer rooms and in quickly building up high performance networks using 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet. As many as 288 fiber-optic or copper cable terminations fit into one unit. It is also suitable for combining the two media.
The R&M raised floor solution consists of a steel box that is inserted seamlessly into the 600 x 600 millimeter grid of raised floors. It is fastened to supports in the raised floor and connected to cable runs in a quick installation procedure. For example, each distributor cabinet or row of cabinets can be assigned one box. The subfloor design meets the requirements in international standards for structured cabling in data centers: TIA 942, IEC 24764 and EN 50173-5.
R&M markets 19” patch panels from its own range of data center products for configuration. Up to six patch panels can be incorporated in the raised floor solution. R&M has planning aids to help cabling projects run more smoothly and pre-terminates factory-inspected assembly kits that are delivered just in time.
Besides applications in data centers, the R&M raised floor solution can also be used in offices, control stands, command centers, clinics, surveillance or monitoring centers, on the trading floor of stock exchanges and in other similar settings.
