DINTEK's Data Centre Solution
With the ever increasing demand for bandwidth, data centres continue to be expanded and upgraded. In particular, the demand for increased storage capacity in the storage area network and data centre environment has resulted in one of the fastest growing industries in the world.
The data center is the heart of your operation. Whether it occupies one room, one or more floors, or an entire building, DINTEK's Light-LINKSTM cabling solutions provide all of the components for an end-to-end Tier 1 to Tier 4 operation, providing bandwidth performance of up to 10 / 40 / 100 Gigabits and above. As a technology leader in fiber optic cabling and components, DINTEK Light-LINKSTM can deliver modularity, flexibility and customization in design, density and scalability from optical fiber and cable to the hardware and connectivity in your data center.
- A three-layer design allows for easy access of all 12 cassette modules.
- Small 1RU standard rack size provides maximum density.
- Each cassette is removable and can be easily customized for specific connectivity applications.
- Cable management is simple and designed for easy access and recognition.
- Removable back cover is for open access to trunk cables.
One of the biggest concerns IT professionals have is the lack of space in the data center. Whether your data center is connecting a small business or multiple businesses, it seems that space is always at a premium. IT workers are always trying to cram, bend, squash their cables into the limited space available. This is the wrong way to go about managing your networking space.
One of the best space savers in the data center is the high density fiber enclosure. These enclosures allow you to increase port density, allowing you to fit more cables into a smaller space. Most importantly, they allow you to save space and stay organized. By using high density enclosures, you will be able to adhere to the TIA-942 standards for structured cabling, be better prepared for any future moves, adds or changes, and make your life much, much simpler. The DINTEK Light-LINKS Data Center fiber enclosures come in a variety of sizes so you can customize for your specific needs.
Patch cords are such a common component in data center set-ups that the significance of their role in data transmission can tend to be overlooked. Not just any patch cord can handle heavy data transmission, and trying to get by with lower quality or lesser capability is a gamble data centers cannot afford.
Fiber cables from some manufacturers are starting to utilize sub-standard fiber cores, because changes in the way fiber is produced make the fiber cheaper.
There is always a trade-off however, and this is in the quality of the fiber which ultimately effects performance.

For DINTEK, quality and transmission performance are our main priority. Therefore our fiber patch cords are manufactured using only Corning fiber cores. This gives the end user peace of mind that data transmission will not be compromised in such a mission critical environment.

40G 4*SFP+ AOC
The AOCs utilize multi-mode fiber with 850nm VCSELs and PIN PDs. It can be used as an alternative solution to QSFP passive and active copper cables, while providing improved signal integrity, longer distances, superior electro-magnetic immunity & better bit error rate performance.
40G QSFP+ DAC
The QSFP+ DAC are suitable for very short distances and offer a cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. It offers passive copper cables in lengths of 1 meter ~ 5 meters. Sensitivity -10.3dBm
QSFP4*SFP + -DAC
The QSFP+ DAC are suitable for very short distances and offer a cost effective way to connect QSFP+ and SFP+ port. The direct-attach assemblies support 4 lanes of 10Gbps (40Gbps composite). It offers Passive copper cables in lengths of 1m ~ 5m.
DINTEK's PowerMAX-XLR8TM Category 8 solutions are designed to support Ethernet at rates up to 40 Gbps (40GBASE-T) for the shorter distances up to 30 meters, which is a solution primarily for data centers. The Copper cabling solution is less costly for installation for the power usage and electronics costs. As Cat 8 becomes widely used, it's expected that switch and server connections supporting it will be much less expensive than those used with fiber optics. Besides, the 25/40GBASE-T standards support autonegotiation, which provides convenience for data center users.
Category 8 Plug
The DINTEK PowerMAX-XLR8TM Category 8 Screened Field Termination RJ45 Plug offers easy, toolless termination and complies fully with ISO/IEC 11801, & ANSI/TIA-568-2-D, Category 8 standards. It offers a fully shielded die-cast zinc alloy, nickel plated body and gold-plated phosphor bronze contact pins.
• IDC termination accepts wire gauges from 22 to 24AWG.
• Tooless termination.
• Supports 25 – 40 Gigabit Ethernet.
• RoHS, Reach/SVHC compliant.
Category 8 Plug
The DINTEK PowerMAX-XLR8TM Category 8 cabling infrastructure has been designed to support short-distance (between 5 and 30 meters) runs of 25GBase-T or 40GBase-T transmission. A choice of compatible Patch Panel frames with 24 port density in both black and chrome are available.
The socket itself is housed in a high quality zinc die cast housing, which opens at the rear in a butterfly manner to reveal the IDC termination points. Once the pairs are arranged in the cable management cap and
trimmed it is a simple case of closing the 'butterfly' together to complete the termination.
Category 8 Cable
DINTEK's PowerMAX-XLR8TM Category 8 Screened S/FTP LSZH Cable is designed and manufactured to meet and exceed the ISO, CENELEC and TIA standards. The performance characteristics have been enhanced to 2000 MHz for specialist applications. Each cable consists of 4 pairs individually wrapped in a covering of high quality, strong, aluminium/polyester foil tape providing an individual screen for each pair. These sub units are then cabled together, with the pairs set to different lay lengths to ensure optimum performance, an overall braid screen is applied to provide further immunity to outside noise and to mitigate any risk of alien cross talk.
Enhanced Cable Management
Designed for enhanced cable management, DINTEK angled patch panels are angled in order to route patch cords directly into vertical cable managers on either side of the panel.
This enables faster installation and eliminates the need for horizontal cable management. Simply route your cables cleanly into vertical managers and keep your cabling neat and tidy. Besides, the 25/40GBASE-T standards support auto negotiation, which provides convenience for data center users.
