We are excited to announce that the HD8² High-Density Fiber System from Tactical Deployment Systems has been spotlighted in Cabling Installation & Maintenance magazine! Known for its superior density and exceptional performance, the HD8² System has become an essential solution for data centers seeking efficient and reliable fiber optic installations. In this feature, our very own David Mullsteff dives into what makes the HD8² stand out in high-density fiber solutions, highlighting how its design helps optimize space, speed up installation, and meet the growing demands of data centers and network infrastructure.
Highlights from the Article
HD8² cassettes are rear entry loaded and can be “hard-wired” utilizing terminated optic fiber cable and a Heyco® strain relief. A pulling eye cap facilitates the installation of the cassettes through a ladder rack, innerduct, or raised floor application. The internal strain relief and eye ring are used in conjunction with fiber optic cable Kevlar to provide strength. The cassettes can also be loaded with internal fiber harnesses connected via a separate terminatedtrunk cable.
Benefits of the HD8² High-Density Fiber System
- Reduced installation time with integrated pulling eye - 75-85% time savings
- Space savings of up to 100% per cassette over traditional MTP/MPO cassettes
- Lower db loss because of the reduced connection points
- *Shuttered LC couplers reduce dust and increase eye safety
*The HD8² takes advantage of Senko's dustproof LC adapter with an internal shutter in its cassette design. The internal shutter is actuated when you plug the LC patch cable into the adapter. The shutter automatically opens as you insert the LC connector, and closes as you extract it. Due to the special design of the shutter, it will not touch the ferrule end face when you insert a connector, thus preventing end-face damage. The internal shutter prevents eye exposure to lasers and provides protection from dust and other contaminants.
