Enhanced ENBEAM range from Excel

Having introduced the new brand name ‘ ENBEAM ’ to denote its complete fibre solution , Excel Networking Solutions – the copper and optical cabling infrastructure provider – has significantly enhanced its fibre offering with the addition of new high density products and upgrades to the existing product portfolio .

ENBEAM from Excel provides flexible , scalable , ultra high performance fibre optic systems . One of the latest upgrades is to the Sliding Drawer Panels , which really boosts the performance , usability and aesthetics of the panel with no increase in cost .

Amongst the added features to the Sliding Drawer Panels is the ball-bearing runner functionality , giving smoother operation and more rigidity , making the whole panel more robust when installed . What ’ s more , finger pulls are included on the front of the panel panel and the use of recessed , flangeless adaptors create increased space for port and panel labelling , whilst also making the panel facia more aesthetically pleasing . The enhanced ENBEAM fibre panels also feature an optional patch cord management bar with a hinged front plate for ease of access . Behind this front plate is a full width , full height labelling field to ensure that the equipment is as efficient as possible . The management bar can be easily attached and removed as required , adhering to the Excel promise of flexibility . The new panels are offered with coloured adapters corresponding to the OM1 , OM2 , OM3 , OM4 and OS2 fibre types . These modifications have all been made to the previous sliding drawer model , yet the price of the enhanced version has not increased to reflect the improvements , demonstrating Excel ’ s commitment to its customers to provide a world class premium performance end-to-end infrastructure solution – without compromise .
‘ The ENBEAM product range are included in the new Excel A5 Catalogue that is available to download from the Excel website .’
The ENBEAM Sliding Drawer Panel is not the only product to benefit from an upgrade . Further additions to Excel ’ s fibre portfolio include the new Enbeam Fibre Panel – 1U 19in 12-cassette high density panel that provides an expandable and innovative cassette based patching solution . The Enbeam 1U 144 Fibre LC Angled Panel provides high-density LC patching offering 72 ports / 144 fibres in 1U . Its angled design negates the need for additional patch cord management , further increasing the potential density of this system . The Enbeam LC Uniboot patch cords provide excellent performance in a compact design , to further broaden the functionality of the product range in high-density installations .
