Let us find the solution that uniquely fits you. 

While your enterprise data center may be smaller than others, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave recognizes that all data centers have similar needs. For example, you require a robust and flexible infrastructure that adapts and grows with minimum downtime and an emphasis on usability.

To manage the complexity of day-to-day operations, you need a supplier focused on more than providing products – you need a supplier committed to problem solving in a timeframe that meets your own.

SEL has partnered with small- and medium-sized network owners to develop next-generation solutions and products. These solutions and products focus on usability, security, scalability, and the continuity of your infrastructure.

One Solution: An Enterprise Use Case

A data center manager for a local manufacturer needs to pull a 432-fiber armored cable through a harsh deployment environment. Installation time and labor costs must be managed in addition to minimum downtime and network integrity.

INSIDE PLANT

Products needed depend on desired deployment speed

Same-Day Deployment
PRE-TERMINATED/PRE-STUBBED

Factory assembled and tested, our Pre-Terminated/Pre-Stubbed Patch Panels provide an additional level of customization above the pre-terminated patch panels by allowing the customer to have an entire cable stub factory installed, providing for additional customer efficiencies, improving quality, and reducing the amount of splicing within the link. Pre-Stubbed patch panel solutions allow the customer to specify the cable type, fiber type, fiber quantity, panel connector type, and panel size.

Multiday Deployment
PRE-TERMINATED

Factory assembled and tested, our Pre-Terminated products provide a simplified way to meet network interconnect needs while improving quality, saving labor costs, and reducing installation time. Shipped ready for installation, these solutions allow the customer to specify the fiber type, fiber quantity, panel connector type, and panel size, making them an ideal choice wherever interconnects are needed. Available as LGX, HD, and SWK™ Series.

Week Plus Deployment
FIELD TERMINATED

On-site field terminations and exact-length cable builds offer the greatest flexibility and possibility for customization within your network infrastructure, enabling real-time moves, adds and changes, repairs, and restoration for minimal downtime. Centered around the Lynx-CustomFit™ line of Splice-On Connectors, these builds allow quick, easy, and reliable customized terminations without the shorts, excess slack, or the logistic delays of preterminated cables.

DEPLOYMENT TOOLS

Splicers

  • Mass Fusion or single strand
  • Light and compact frame
