Siemon, a global network infrastructure specialist, has introduced an innovative enhancement to its LC BladePatch duplex fibre optic jumper. 

 

Equipped with Siemon’s new space-saving, one-piece UniClick housing, the enhanced jumpers build upon LC BladePatch’s patented push-pull latch design to provide unmatched accessibility and ease of operation in ultra high density fibre patching environments.

 

The UniClick housing features a one-piece body with an integrated switch to make it faster and easier to change polarity, with no loose parts. 

 

This reduces the LC BladePatch’s already small footprint, simplifying jumper installation and patching administration in even the tightest, side-stacked server, switch, and SAN port configurations.

 

The UniClick housing also improves on the jumpers patented, user-friendly fibre polarity change process by eliminating multiple components and steps by incorporating a single polarity reversal switch. 

 

"Most fibre jumpers on the market do not support field polarity changes and those that do typically require a technician to disassemble the housing and physically move and twist the fibres, creating a strong risk of damage," said Narender Vasandani, technical services group manager for India, the Middle East and Africa at Siemon.

 

"With LC BladePatch’s UniClick housing, you simply engage the polarity reversal switch and rotate the latches. The fibres themselves never move from their factory-terminated locations," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
