Pre-terminated RapidNet

RapidNet Cassette

The RapidNet system offers many advantages over a standard site-terminated solution. It can reduce installation times by up to 95% and because it’s pre-tested, minimal on-site testing is required once installed. The pre-terminated solution delivers high performance across all formats including Category 6A, Category 6, Category 5e in copper and OM4, OM3, OS2 and OS1 in fibre.

The Category 6A and fibre solutions will support high speed 10G networks and beyond. High port densities can be achieved using RapidNet fibre, with MTP connectors providing up to 144 fibres per cassette or up to 576 fibres in 1U of rack space.

RapidNet allows a greener approach to cabling infrastructure. With each RapidNet loom manufactured and supplied to pre-specified lengths, there is less on-site cabling and packaging waste. In addition, with RapidNet being manufactured in the UK, the environmental impact of shipping is greatly reduced. The reduced installation times make RapidNet the ideal solution for ‘business as usual’ projects, time critical installations and in the event of disaster recovery where network down time needs to be kept to a minimum.

RapidNet Fibre

The extensive RapidNet fibre range from HellermannTyton has developed with the increasing demands of high performance, high speed networks and data centres. Available in OM4, OM3, OS2 and OS1, RapidNet fibre provides a number of connectivity options, including MTP, LC and SC cassettes.

LC and SC Cassettes

LC and SC Cassettes

The LC cassettes are available in standard and Keyed formats. The standard RapidNet LC and SC cassettes offer a range of options including single mode or multimode, 12 or 24 ports in LC and 6 or 12 ports in SC formats. The cassettes also provide 2 options for the rear of the cassette; a terminated cable with a strain relieving boot or with MTP connectors, to allow the use of 12 or 24 core MTP backbone cables.

Keyed LC Cassettes

Keyed LC Cassettes

The Keyed solution offers all the benefits of the standard LC RapidNet but uses different coloured connectors and adapters. Each colour connector has its own unique mechanical key, enabling the segregation or identification of paths within the network infrastructure. The use of Keyed RapidNet can help reduce the risk of accidental or malicious network access.

MTP VHD Cassettes

MTP VHD Cassettes

MTP VHD RapidNet is available with either 6 or 12 MTP ports presented on the front of the cassette.The MTP connector can be supplied as either 12 or 24 core, with 6 x 24 core connectors or 12 x 12 core connectors, enabling a maximum of 144 fibres in a single cassette, or 576 fibres in a 1U RapidNet panel.

RapidNet Copper

RapidNet copper solutions offer the installer or end user a great deal of choice and flexibility at both the cassette end and the ‘second end’.

6 Port Cassette

6 Port Cassette

The 6 port RapidNet cassette comes in a standard format with 4 cassettes fitting into the RapidNet panel. The standard panel accommodates all UTP Category 6A, Category 6 and Category 5e cassettes with a separate panel available for the 6 port shielded solutions. Both UTP and FTP Category 6A solutions exceed industry standards performance criteria to support a 10G network. The UTP Category 6A system is available in a range of different coloured jack variations as standard, allowing for network segregation.

4 Port Cassette

4 Port Cassette

Available in Category 6 and Category 5e, the 4 port cassette comes with its own RapidNet panel providing 24 ports in 1U of space. The 4 port cassette provides an ideal solution for work area and ‘to the desk’ applications in most commercial office and educational environments.

12 Port Cassette

12 Port Cassette

The 12 port cassette is RapidNet’s high density solution, presenting 48 ports in 1U of rack space. Available in both Category 6 and Category 5e, the 12 port cassette provides an ‘on-board’ magnified port labelling field and comes with its own RapidNet panel to accommodate the larger cassette footprint. The 12 port cassette is also compatible with the Hybrid RapidNet panel, providing a combination of copper and fibre connectivity in 1U of space.

Second End Options

Second End Options

RapidNet fibre cassettes can also be supplied with MTP connectors on the rear. For these RapidNet cassettes HellermannTyton supply a range of MTP backbone cables as well as MTP to fan out assemblies in both LC and SC formats. While a RapidNet Copper cassette to cassette assembly is most commonly used in cabinet to cabinet and data centre applications, the RapidNet range offers additional flexibility with a host of other ‘second end’ possibilities including RJ45 and Pod.

Data Centre Applications

  • 4U Distribution Chassis - Designed for use where high density patching is required together with class leading front and rear patch cord management.
  • Out of Rack solution - Designed to provide 3U of rackspace in 3 configurations using RapidNet and/or standard 19 panels and 2 x Zero U RapidNet cassette locations.

Accessories

  • Blanks - Designed to fill partially loaded RapidNet panels to help maintain consistent airflow and reduce the buildup of dust.
  • Floor Boxes - Designed to house the RapidNet cassette away from the comms cabinet and provides a good alternative work area or ‘to the desk’ solution.
