Panduit Showcases 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel Transmission Over 1 km of Multimode Fiber at EMC World

Panduit Corp., a global leader in Unified Physical InfrastructureSM-based solutions, is proud to be an exhibitor at this year’s EMC World in Las Vegas, NV May 21-24. At the event Panduit will showcase how they help organizations become more agile and responsive to customer needs by implementing data center architectures that are optimized for both the logical and physical components of the network.

The Signature Core™ Fiber Optic Cabling System maintains signal integrity beyond that of all other types of multimode fiber. This innovation provides network architects with the flexibility to deploy less expensive multimode fiber links versus more expensive singlemode links – a savings upwards of $1,000 per link. The enhanced performance of Signature Core™ multimode fiber enables extended reach, additional connections, and the highest reliability.

“As data centers evolve to support more service oriented, public and private cloud models, our clients are investing in virtualization research and fabric-based computing. Signature Core™ multimode fiber helps provide the flexibility needed to maximize return on these investments,” said Andrew Caveney, Vice President of Global Marketing at Panduit. “Signature Core™ innovation is the result of years of innovation and development in collaboration with our partners. QLogic and SANBlaze are a perfect match for this demonstration, which sets a new distance benchmark for 16 gigabit Fibre Channel traffic.”
