Nexans launches LANsense AIM
and new high-density copper and
fibre solutions

exans has launched its new
LANsense Automated Infrastructure
Management (AIM) solution
and presented its cutting-edge LANmark
ENSPACE ultra high-density fibre solution
and Slimflex copper Category 6A solution.
As new trends such as 5G and Edge
Computing put more strain on data centres,
the race for efficiency, reliability and
scalability continues.
To help data centres effectively address
their physical layer-related challenges,
Nexans launched new cutting-edge
solutions at the 11th edition of Data Centre
World 2019, the UK’s largest gathering of
data centre expertise.
The new solutions presented by the group
include; LANsense AIM software for network
monitoring, LANmark ENSPACE high-density
fibre solution and Slimflex Cat. 6A high
density copper solution.
LANsense AIM allows clear instructions from
port to outlet, while LANsense monitors,
manages and optimises network capacity
remotely and more efficiently.
Data centre managers can trace circuits end-
to-end, flag disconnects, find available rack
space and make sure redundant and load
balancing circuits are connected.
LANmark ENSPACE fibre allows users to
make room for scalability. In a modern
data centre, there is limited space for
passive cabling. LANmark ENSPACE solution
increases the number of connections in 1U
by 50%. ENSPACE panels come with three
individual sliding trays per ‘U’ allowing
144 LC connections in 1U and up to 576
connections in a 4U.
Slimflex Cat 6A Copper allows users to
achieve double density in data centres,
while Nexans’ Slimflex Category 6A
solution saves up to 50% space in data
centre installations. This new copper
range consists of a 48-port panel, Slimflex
cords and Cat 6A connectors. Once
installed, the result is a neat and cleaned
up high-density installation.
In addition to its data transmission
technology, Nexans showcased its flagship
TITANEX power cables. For more than 50
years the TITANEX cable range has been
recognised as the industry-leading solution
for all mobile and fixed installations
in industrial environments, including
data centres.
The power cable is highly robust but
flexible enough to cope with the
restrictions of a data centre. It withstands
high operating temperatures up to 90°C
and has excellent mechanical resistance
to impacts. TITANEX is easy to work with,
even in large cross sections. The cable can
comprise up to 36 cores, with 1 to 630 mm²
cross section. n
