Prysmian launches pre terminated cable assemblies into UK data centre market

Prysmian, best known for its manufacture of power and data cable, used the Data Centre World exhibition in London to launch its wrap-around offer for digital communication within data centres.

The innovation attracting most attention was the company’s promise of bespoke pre-terminated fibre assemblies, supplied to UK sites within days. This exceptional turnaround is down to the location and capacity of both cable and termination manufacturing sites in Europe.

This offer is based on the premium G657 BendBright™ bend insensitive optical fibre, utilised in a wide variety of pre-terminated assemblies.

Prysmian FlexRibbon™ fibre configuration provides Base 12 and Base 16 terminations onto MTP, SN and MMC/MDC connectors. Preterminated assemblies using US Conec certified MTP®/MPO connectors are also available on short lead times.

Bespoke pre-terminated assemblies available in days

The service is super-flexible, designed to meet the need for fast turnaround on large sites. The Prysmian service team, based in the UK, are able to take specifications for bespoke cable assemblies using a wide range of single mode and multi mode optical fibres to service the highest bandwidth requirements of modern data centres. 

The preterminated cable systems form one part of the Prysmian offer, which also includes comprehensive cable management for both meet-me areas and white rooms. All cable configurations are supplied to the highest CPR specification, including BC2a fire resistance.

All products come with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty and the reassurance of the Prysmian brand: synonymous with technical excellence and innovation in the field of optical fibre technology for decades.

As global supply chains come increasingly under strain, being able to source the entire cable assembly from a single supplier with global quality control standards, supported by an expert local team, removes a significant area of risk for high value projects.
