Actassi IRIS

Product catalog summary

Overview
Actassi Iris is a high-density pre-terminated optical cabling system developed by Schneider Electric and Corning for data centers. It aims to simplify installation, enhance performance, and offer the highest port density available.

Key Features

Corning Technology: Utilizes Corning ClearCurve optical fibers for improved bend performance and reduced cable diameters.
Modular System: Pre-terminated components reduce installation time and facilitate faster moves, adds, and changes (MACs).
High Port Density: Provides 576 fibers in a 4U panel and 96 fibers in a 1U panel.
Compliance: Adheres to EN 50173-5 and TIA 942 standards.
Low Insertion Loss: Supports flexible network design with longer links and multiple interconnects.
Universal Polarity System: Allows moves, adds, and changes without polarity issues.
100% Factory-Tested: Ensures consistent quality and performance.

Specifications

Connector Types: MTP and LC/PC with composite and ceramic ferrules.
Optical Performance: Maximum loss for multimode (MM) is <0.35 dB and for single-mode (SM) is <0.75 dB.
Mechanical Performance: Durability change to FOTP -21 is <0.2 dB for 200 rematings.
Fibre Characteristics: Includes ClearCurve Multimode 50/125 μm OM3 and OM4, and Single-mode 9/125 μm SMF-28e.

Environmental and Mechanical Characteristics

Temperature Range: Laying and installation: -5 to +50ºC, Operation: -20 to +60ºC, Transport and storage: -25 to +70ºC.
Fire Rating: Low smoke, zero halogen, flame retardant, and non-corrosive.

Ordering Information

Trunk cables and extender trunks are available in various configurations, including different fiber counts and lengths, with options for low smoke, zero halogen cables.
Hybrid trunks transition from multi-fiber to single-fiber environments, featuring non-pinned MTP connectors on one end and single-fiber connectors on the other.

Specifications

MTP-LC cassettes break out 12-fibre MTP terminations into LC duplex connectivity, featuring low loss connectivity and universal polarity wiring.
Harnesses connect to trunks through a pinned MTP connector and plug into dual-fibre electronics ports with LC uniboot duplex connectors, improving airflow and enabling higher density in patch panels.
Jumpers feature slim round 2-fibre interconnect cables with uniboot style duplex connectors, designed for high-density applications and tight bends.
MTP adaptor supports provide high-density connectivity, with modular design enabling growth of port counts.

Procedures

Installation of cassettes and harnesses can be performed from one side of a cabinet, facilitating fast moves, adds, and changes of port configurations.
Jumpers can be installed or removed from the front or rear of a panel, allowing simple upgrades to parallel optics.

Norms and Recommendations

Emphasizes the use of low loss connectivity for system design flexibility and the importance of maintaining correct fibre polarity.
Recommends using Actassi Iris products for high-density applications and environments requiring efficient cable management.

Product Details

Dimensions and weights are provided for various modules and panels, such as the ECM-UM12 Module and VDIDC123.
Ordering information includes part numbers and descriptions for different configurations of cassettes, harnesses, and panels.

Key Features

Actassi Iris products feature translucent inward folding shutters for dust protection and fibre identification with VFL.
The modular design of panels allows for easy access to connectors and facilitates cable management.
Products are packaged in easy-open containers for convenience.
