A new benchmark for best-in-class, the ECX solution provides
effortless deployment for LAN environments
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for
mission-critical applications, has launched its FiberExpress (FX)
Enterprise Closet X (ECX) Patch Panel System.
The inability to effectively service legacy constructions and moves,
adds and changes (MACs) are major obstacles for contractors and
installers. Belden FX ECX dramatically improves efficiency, saving
valuable time with patent-pending, innovative features like front/rear
removable cassettes, delivering unmatched installation flexibility in
tight spaces.
Contractors and installers operate under tight timelines, with no room
in the budget to troubleshoot unexpected fiber link failures from
damaged or pinched fibers. Belden FX ECX simplifies splice cassette
design, eliminating fiber pinch points by integrating slack management
into the see-through cassette lid.
Space constraints are also a significant challenge for legacy
deployments, specifically where a small number of copper ports require a
dedicated patch panel. By using Belden KeyConnect frames, copper and
fiber can be deployed in the FX ECX system at the same time, saving rack
space while foregoing the unnecessary cost of additional panels.
“The FX ECX platform was developed in collaboration with customers and
partners with the goal of creating a best-in-class solution,” says
Matthew Hurst, product line manager for copper/fiber connectivity at
Belden. “We listened carefully to gather feedback, and then set out to
deliver a system that exceeds the benchmark established by competitive
offerings available in the market today.”
Only Belden’s innovative enterprise connectivity solutions take a
universal approach to customers’ enterprises, resolving signal
transmission needs with IP- and legacy-based solutions that enable a
smooth migration to convergence. Belden’s extensive portfolio spans LAN,
data centers, building automation and security and access control to
keep information running smoothly. Outstanding global service and
support capabilities and application-specific warranty programs complete
Belden’s unique offering.
