Legrand®, a global leader in high-performance network infrastructure hardware, today announced the release of the new Infinium™ XFC Series Fiber Enclosure System, a next-generation rack-mount solution designed with the flexibility to support the high-growth demands placed on today’s data centers by virtualization and cloud computing.

In addition to providing the flexibility to scale and support a company’s growing data center needs, the new XFC Series Fiber Enclosure System offers greater operational efficiency and simplicity, while simultaneously supporting a company’s sustainability goals and practices.

“The new XFC Series Fiber Enclosure System helps companies future-proof their data center physical infrastructure by providing a rack-mount solution that gives them flexible scaling along with operational efficiency and simplicity,” said Michael Wood, Product Manager for Infinium Fiber Solutions. “This is an infrastructure solution that supports the needs of both new equipment and new architecture, allowing connectivity to be added or changed, for fiber or copper media, as needed.”

Legrand designed the new XFC Series Fiber Enclosure System around a modular concept, including a drawer face that is interchangeable and can accommodate changes in density ranging from very high – e.g., 144 LC fibers in 1 rack unit – to lower densities such as 96 LC fibers or even 72 LC fibers in a single rack unit. Both LC and MPO connections are supported through adapter panels and cassettes for customers that prefer to use patch cords.

Additional product highlights of the XFC Series Fiber Enclosure System include:

  • Availability in 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U sizes;
  • A mixed-media option that supports copper (Categories 5e, 6, 6a) and fiber (LC duplex, SC and MTP fiber modules);
  • Ability to add modules as needed for either media type; and
  • Products covered by a third-party verified EPD registered through the PEPecopassport Program.

“The XFC Series Fiber Enclosure System is another component of the connected infrastructure solutions that enterprises need to optimize space and drive greater data center efficiency,” said Wood. “This rack-mount solution provides companies flexible scaling to support data center growth and operational efficiency and simplicity – while simultaneously supporting sustainable practices.”
