This paper describes how a Brocade 48000 Director or DCX Backbone with up to 768 ports in a single rack or cabinet can be cabled with Corning Cable Systems MTP-based Plug & Play Systems and Zero-U or U-Space Systems. As part of a TIA-942-compliant star topology cabling infrastructure, the MDA becomes the nexus of the data center and installing a high-density, modular infrastructure enables easy MACs and troubleshooting. It shows examples of how to cable Brocade products—cabling from 16- to 48-port blades on Brocade SAN directors, Corning products are adaptable and can be optimized for a given implementation. With the use of Corning’s MTP-to-LC Duplex harnesses, cable volume in the vertical manager decreases by up to 77 percent. With this reduction in cable congestion and use of Corning’s port mapping architecture, ease of installation, and administration of MACs is provided.
