CommScope’s InstaPATCH QUATTRO—Pre-terminated Connectivity Designed for Simple, Rapid Data Center Expansion and Evolution

August 14, 2012 RICHARDSON, Texas

CommScope, Inc., a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, has introduced a pre-terminated copper connectivity solution designed to provide quick and easy deployment of large-scale cabling infrastructures in data centers as well as provide a future migration path to higher performance systems.

InstaPATCH® QUATTRO, currently available in North America and Latin America, is a 10GBASE-T and 1GBASE-T cassette and trunk-based connectivity solution. It combines high-performance with “plug-and-play” simplicity for fast data center deployment and easy modification as a network’s needs evolve.

“Pre-terminated connectivity has grown in recent years as a trusted means for designing and deploying data center infrastructures,” said George Brooks, senior vice president, Enterprise Product Line Management, CommScope. “InstaPATCH QUATTRO combines the performance and quality of our SYSTIMAX® solutions along with the design freedom and installation ease associated with our InstaPATCH fiber solutions. We believe this solution corresponds with our customer’s infrastructure and data center needs today and for the future.”

InstaPATCH QUATTRO installs easily, adapts quickly and performs reliably even under the most demanding conditions. InstaPATCH QUATTRO solutions include panels, modular cassettes, trunk and breakout cables. With the addition of InstaPATCH QUATTRO, CommScope now offers a full suite of high performance pre-terminated cabling solutions (copper, fiber and cabinet) that enable true end-to-end fast deployment of connectivity—from core to aggregation to access layers. It is an ideal solution for the deployment of pods and/or data center modules.

Each InstaPATCH QUATTRO component is factory tested and certified by Fluke Networks equipment to ensure consistency and quality.

“Infrastructure succeeds when it is supported by accurate and reliable certification,” said David Veneski, director, Datacom Installer Business Unit, Fluke Networks. “We appreciate the opportunity to apply our expertise in testing to a cabling solution designed for tomorrow’s data centers.”

InstaPATCH QUATTRO plays an integral role as a part of CommScope’s Living Infrastructure approach to helping customers design and deploy the right solutions for their network infrastructures. With InstaPATCH QUATTRO, customers can deploy pods and/or data center modules but also have the ability to evolve their platform to accommodate enhanced technologies.

Availability of InstaPATCH QUATTRO will be expanded globally at a later date.
