We’ve been working over the last 12 months to design and produce a range of products that will really help to evolve our fibre offering. With the addition of our Enbeam branding we can bring these together in one family, which will continue to evolve as we expand our offering and stock holding. As well as the new products we have also updated our standard sliding drawer panels with added features such as ball-bearing runners for smooth operation and rigidity, finger pulls are included on the front panel and the use of recessed, flangeless adaptors create increased space for port and panel labelling and makes the panel facia more aesthetically pleasing. There is also an optional patch cord management bar with a hinged front plate for ease of access and the range has been increased considerably. All of which have been introduced with no additional cost to our customers. The Enbeam products are included in the new Excel A5 catalogue that is available to download from the Excel website and printed copies are available on request – contact admin@ excel-networking.com for a copy. In addition to the new products Excel also offers a full range of pre-terminated fibre optic products which are perfect where time is limited on site or you don’t have the necessary expertise available. The Excel Excelerator range of pre- terminated fibre systems includes distribution, break-out and mini break-out cables and MTP.
