Greener Brand-Rex cables

Brand-Rex zone and Fibre cable have a lower Carbon footprint compared to traditional Datacentre cabling.

10GPlus Zone Cable

Brand-Rex zone cable typically has a 25% less product Carbon footprint compared to traditional Datacentre cabling. Coupled with improved cabling density and reduced dimensions, this improves the airflow around the cabling and racks, helping to improve cooling and reduce energy consumption.

Reduced diameter fibre cables

Not only does our next generation of fibre cable improve the density of fibre within an installation, these cables have an average reduction of 21% in the product Carbon emissions.

Product Packaging

305m box improvements

Using modern, non-bleached Cardboard, a 13% reduction in the Carbon footprint of a box has been achieved. The cardboard has an improved packing density, to help reduce transportation.

Optimising reels

By moving from an 18” diameter reel to a 16” reel, we have improved the packing on a pallet. Instead of the 6 reels, we can now double this to 12 per pallet. This will allow more products per delivery and reduce the number of HGV journeys and associated Carbon emissions required to deliver our products.

MCL Data Solutions are now offering the range of Brand-Rex products online.

Brand-Rex, the UK’s market leader in the manufacturing and supply of high performance copper and fibre cabling systems for communication systems.

Brand-Rex offers a full range of Category 5e, 6 and 6A copper solutions for the enterprise as well as a market leading suite of copper solutions designed specifically for data centre applications.
Focusing on cable management in high density environments, the innovative range includes high density patching solutions, such as the High Density Cabling cabinet and the 24 port angled patch panel that naturally directs the patch cords to the sides of the patching frame – negating the need for horizontal cable management.

The innovative data centre offering also incorporates the ground breaking and space-saving Brand-Rex designed 10GPlus Zone Cable which represents the market’s smallest diameter Category 6A/Class EA cable.
The high performance Augmented Category 6 Zone Cable is fully certified by 3P Third Party Testing. Similar in diameter to a Category 5e cable it is 30 per cent lighter and 50 per cent smaller than standard Category 6A cables

Brand-Rex GigaPlus – This Cat5e cabling solution is designed to meet the specifications for Gigabit transmission as a minimum. These are high quality components and cables that provide one of the best solutions on the market.

Brand-Rex Cat6Plus – A high performance, high quality, Cat6 solution available in either shielded or unshielded versions. These products provide extra bandwidth that may be required for current networks.

Fibre Optic Cabling Solutions
As networks require more bandwidth, it will be necessary to deploy fibre optic cabling, within the backbone of the cabling infrastructure to meet these requirements. We suggest you use only the best components and cables from MCL Data Solutions and Brand-Rex ensures that your system will deliver the performance required by your network equipment.

NETWORK CABLE ECONOMICS BY BRAND-REX

With cabling such a small proportion of the overall cost of a network, it is surprising that some end users are prepared to risk downtime by having low cost products and systems installed.

Eddie McGinley, Product Manager at Brand-Rex examines why cutting corners on quality can prove to be a false economy and explains why premium products provide peace of mind.. More on this story

Brand-Rex data cable solution now available at Morrisons

Morrisons will use high-speed copper and fibre from Brand-Rex to support the expansion of its data centre in Bradford. The structured cabling system will be designed and installed by Express Data. It will support around 420 Morrisons' stores and is expected to improve service for the nine million customers who pass through its doors each week.

The company will use Brand-Rex's 10GPlus system combined with a Blolite backbone. The vendor says that this will enable migration to 40 or even 100 Gigabit Ethernet standards in the future. The upgraded infrastructure is designed to augment Morrisons' existing data centre and disaster recovery services, and has been planned with optimum performance and minimum environmental impact in mind.
"Using copper and fibre high density solutions, Express Data is able to deliver an ergonomic solution that reduces floor space requirements while managing a high volume of optical connectivity leading to significant cost savings," says Kevin Forrest, director at installers Express Data.  [Orginal artical from Networking+]
