Connectivity Solutions

Multiple zone representation options fit the needs of your specific data center: Cabinets: Lockable and used for security purposes. Open Frame Racks: Open for easier moves, adds and changes. Features vertical cable management with slack managers on both sides. Overhead Frames: When neither floor space nor rack space is available, these frames easily mount to a basket or ladder tray directly above the Equipment Distribution Area (EDA) serviced.

Fiber connectivity has come to the forefront of decision making in enterprise data centers. Extensive bandwidth demands, data center distance, latency and cost are all factors in those decisions. DCS provides the highest quality OM3/OM4 and single mode fiber assembles. Our expertise in true structured cabling techniques ensures your cable infrastructure will remain flexible and sustainable long into the future.

The Central Patching Location (CPL) is the nucleus of the structured cabling infrastructure, representing all connectivity ports of each piece of equipment. DCS has developed a secure Multi-Bay patching system for this centralized area. The DCS Multi-Bay CPL takes all moves, adds and changes away from active equipment, simplifying each process while mitigating the risk of downtime.

DCS’ series of Switch Mimic Enclosures and Adapter Panels gives a visual of the director-class switch at the Central Patching Location (CPL) and improves upon TIA-942 structured cabling recommendations. Not only is the switch represented, but also each port is precisely identified as the port on the device it represents. By representing the port at the CPL, it’s easy to identify ports without disrupting the active equipment.

Z-Series With a commitment to simplifying documentation and management of connectivity in the data center, DCS has developed a series of solutions to support the latest IBM Z family of mainframe products. Along with our series of Switch and DASD Mimic products, DCS continues to lead the way in practical solutions for these complex mission-critical compute environments.
