With the new OpDAT ADT junction box, METZ CONNECT has succeeded in adapting and further developing a proven product to meet growing market requirements.

MPO/MTP^® patch cables are mainly used in data centers with transmission rates of 40 or 100 Gbit/s. They are used to connect the distribution technology, e.g. 19 “panels, and the active components such as servers or switches.

During maintenance, expansion and installation of new cabling, it's possible for a cable to be too short. What to do? Replacement of the entire cable will cause additional work and increase cost. Also, certain local conditions may not allow this.

Higher data rates, compact devices, less space

The advancing digitization increases the demands on the connection technology significantly. More and more devices are becoming IP-capable and should be operated with higher data rates. However, there is no more space in the control cabinet; on the contrary, devices and thus their connections should become more and more compact. Short connection times and high ease of use are still taken for granted.

The increasingly scarce resources of raw materials and the high energy costs require companies, municipalities and private households to use energy more and more consciously. Conscious primarily means “energy efficient”; In other words, to achieve maximum efficiency with the energy used (e.g. electricity, water, gas, ...) (e.g. brightness, heat, ...).
