2. The Network
Information systems are an essential part of today’s business organisation. Whether it is
the public or private sector, rapid access to data is vital. As business organisations grow,
so do their need for larger computer networks. The right cabling solution can help make
savings in time and financial investment.
The Right Solution
Your network is the heartbeat of your organisation. Cabling infrastructure now has to be
designed to deliver mission-critical applications to a converged network that demands
reliability, speed and availability. A factory terminated fibre optic cabling solution is a simple,
yet scalable, reliable method of deployment. Installation time compared to traditional copper
cabling systems can be greatly reduced.
A Pre-Terminated optical cable can offer speed and flexibility when it comes to adding to
your existing network. We provide Pre-Terminated cables to suit a variety of installations,
whether it is inside a building, across a campus or as a link between equipment in a data
centre or comms room. We have the solution!
Our Pre-Terminated cable solutions are manufactured in our quality controlled
manufacturing facility using state of the art processes and equipment. We also
understand that in order to produce a high quality finished product you need high quality
components, that’s why we only use cable and connectors sourced from our own specialist
manufacturers. This means we can guarantee <0.3dB insertion loss on all of our Pre-
Terms.
The Right Technology Partner
MCL Data Solutions have a commitment and vision to ensure that tomorrow’s data and telecom
networks are supported with fibre optic networking products of the highest technical
standard and performance reliability. We ensure that our sales, engineering and
manufacturing teams are highly trained and qualified so that you receive the right technical
solution tailored to meet your requirements and the requirements of TIA/EIA942 (2005),
ISO/IEC11801 (2002) and EN50174 cabling standards.

3. Pre-Terminated Solutions For
Rapid Deployment
MCL Data Solutions have established state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, which provide a rapid turnaround on all of
your orders.
The speed and cost of network deployment can be the factors that decide which solution is chosen.
The way to reduce time and cost is to use a Pre-Terminated fibre optic cable solution. Installation can be 65% quicker
than traditional methods.
A Pre-Terminated solution consists of a length of cable that is stripped out at each end. The cable is then terminated
with connectors, fully tested and fitted with protective sleeving and pulling eye at each end. This will then be delivered
to site ready to be installed. Simple!
Applications
• Enterprise premise and campus applications.
• Data Centre: Trunk cables to Equipment Distribution Area (EDA) and Storage Area Network
(SAN) applications.
• FTTX.
Benefits
• Fast installation time with minimum site disruption.
• Short, reliable lead-time.
• No need for specialized training or special tools and termination kits.
• Less waste to dispose of on site.
• Delivered labelled and fully tested with documentation.
• High precision connectors terminated in a controlled environment
deliver a maximum insertion loss of 0.30dB.
Our Pre-Term solutions are totally tailor made to suit
your requirements.
