CHASSIS
The Osmium high density fiber optic chassis is based upon a modular
and scalable system composed of 19’’ unloaded chassis, blades and
cassettes. It is designed to meet the challenges of data centers where
high density and competitive costs are critical parameters.
• Up to 45% more LC port density per rack unit than the best equivalent
• Scalable, the Osmium chassis capacity can be can be configured to changing needs
• Manageable, it enables easy moves, adds and changes
• Superior transmission performance thanks to the MPOptimate low loss technology

Most high density fiber solutions for data center offer up to
144 LC ports (or 72 LC duplex) per rack unit. Thanks to the
slimline design of its micro-cassettes and blades, the Osmium
high density fiber optic chassis delivers a density of 210
LC ports (or 105 LC duplex) per rack unit in its 2RU or 4RU
versions. The 1RU version offers a density of 180 LC ports.

HIGHER DENSITY MEANS MORE VALUE
FOR THE DATA CENTER OWNER
IN THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION AREA
The Osmium chassis’s high density can contribute to a reduction in the number
of racks deployed - resulting in reduced floor space usage and associated cost
savings. This is achieved while maintaining a system that is simple, efficient
and easy to manage.
IN THE EQUIPMENT AREA
(Especially Middle of Row and End of Row design)
The Osmium chassis (1 or 2RU) can be installed above racks therefore optimizing
rack utilisation for active equipment. The scalability and modularity of the Osmium
chassis enables easy adjustment of capacity to meet varying port density requirements.
* As per April 2015. Based upon Osmium 2RU and 4RU chassis
SCALABLE AND MANAGEABLE
Easily configured capacity
Thanks to its highly modular design, the capacity of the Osmium chassis
can be easily configured to meet changing demands.
Easy to manage
The Osmium chassis has been designed to enable easy moves, adds and
changes. Each blade has it’s own integrated cable management system
offering easy access to LC ports when extracted from the chassis. Parts
designed to be moved have an orange color for easy identification.
A magnetic ID label, housed on the front fascia, is compatible with
laser printing for a simple and effective port identification.
The white finish on the front fascia contributes to improve visibility in data
center environments running with dimmed lights in an energy saving mode.
Osmium MPO trunk cable manager
The Osmium modular MPO trunk cable
manager comprises two cable breakout
drawers per U, each supporting up
to five 24U fiber trunk cables.
Located at the rear of the chassis, the
manager can easily be configured to
accept incoming trunk cables from either
the left, right or both sides, improving
flexibility and installation times.
SUPERIOR TRANSMISSION
PERFORMANCE
Osmium LC/MPO micro-cassettes are
compatible with the MPOptimate
pre-terminated fiber optic solution.
As with every MPOptimate
connectivity component, the micro
cassettes offer superior transmission
performances (Attenuation
≤ 0.35dB max., RL ≥ 27dB min)
allowing greater flexibility for the
cabling infrastructure design.

The MPOptimate system enables
up to 6 cassettes per link for 10Gb/s
with a full 300 meters support
on OM3 fibers and 550 meters
on OM4 fibers. It is therefore
particularly adapted to cross-connect
designs in large data centers.
