Siemon, a leading provider of network infrastructure solutions, has announced its support for Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connectors, starting with the SN cord
The SN cord marks a significant advancement in fibre connectivity, offering substantially higher density compared to traditional LC connectors. While a standard 1U 19-inch panel can house up to 144 fibres with LC connectors, integrating SN cords within the same space triples the capacity to 432 fibres.
Advancing fibre connectivity
“Siemon’s support for SN cords reflects our commitment to driving innovation and enabling higher-density fibre networks,” commented Peter Thickett, Siemon director, product management (Data Centres). “As active equipment manufacturers continue to adopt VSFF connectors to maximise port counts, our SN cord support ensures that structured cabling environments can align seamlessly with these advancements.”
Beyond delivering exceptional density with support for up to 432 fibres in a 1U panel, Siemon’s VSFF Connector Support offers custom jumper configurations to reduce excess cabling. Additionally, it features innovative compatibility with SN-LC cords incorporating Siemon’s LC BladePatch connector, allowing seamless integration with standard LC interfaces.
By prioritising SN cords, Siemon reinforces its forward-thinking approach to fibre connectivity while continuing to evaluate market demand for further VSFF solutions
