Illuminated cable assembly from Molex addresses challenges for data center managers

September 27, 2018 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Molex has introduced its LumaLink MPO Optical Trace cable assemblies, designed for use in data center rack frames and cable trays.

Molex Optical Shuffle Box Luma Link Cables LumaLink Optical Trace cable assemblies feature high-density MPO connectors and full illumination of the entire cable to facilitate advanced cable management. The cable’s illumination function provides complete visual identification from origin-to-endpoint as well as slack storage locations, and helps installers and technicians identify, implement and route MPO cables more easily.

“Data centers typically have hundreds of cables, and despite best efforts, they often end up tangled, making them difficult to identify and manage,” explained Josh Krantz, global product manager, Molex. “With the LumaLink Optical Trace cables, data center installers and managers will now be able to illuminate the specific cables they need to access or upgrade and be able to determine that cable’s length, which is a tremendous help for them.”

In addition to origin-to-endpoint illumination, Molex’s LumaLink Optical Trace cable assemblies also feature:

  • MPO connector – a precision-molded compatible ferrule connects 12F optical cable and a push-pull housing provides quick and reliable connections
  • Magnetic power connection for illumination function – capable of 360° rotation and provides full-length cable illumination
  • FlexiBend boot – allows field grooming of bend radius and enables an easy change of direction for better cable management
