Siemon, a global leader in network infrastructure solutions, has launched its new and improved LightStack® and LightStack 8 ultra-high density fibre plug and play system in Africa. This innovative solution delivers superior density, port access, and cable management in a sleek, modern platform, making it ideal for today’s advanced data centre or enterprise networking environments.

“With LightStack, we are removing the compromises often associated with ultra-high-density applications,” says Tony Walker, fibre product marketing manager at Siemon. “LightStack and LightStack 8 offer the perfect balance between performance and ease of use, allowing users to design and deploy cutting-edge network connectivity at the highest densities with ease.”

LightStack offers superior density, supporting up to 144 fibres per rack unit within a 1U enclosure, ensuring efficient space utilisation. Its improved management capabilities allow for easy access and connectivity management from both the front and rear. With a future-ready design and various mounting options, LightStack provides a quality, future-proof footprint for network infrastructure. Its high-capacity management clips ensure maximum cable capacity support while facilitating simple access.

Additionally, LightStack features user-friendly labelling solutions, an intuitive magnetic door for easy operation, swivel trunk tie-down points for cable protection, high-contrast sliding trays for enhanced visibility, and simple insertion and removal of modules and adapter plates from the enclosure’s front or rear, making it a reliable and innovative solution for modern network connectivity needs.

LightStack is designed to deliver industry-leading performance through a comprehensive suite of plug and play transition modules and pass-through adapter plates that have been designed to surpass today’s performance standards.

The LightStack solution is separated into two distinct formats, both of which support singlemode and multimode as well as easily differentiated by colour and form factor. The black LightStack enclosure and connectivity range is the Base-12 format. The grey LightStack 8 enclosure and connectivity range is the Base-8 format. Both configurations deliver ultra-low loss performance and unmatched usability. Depending on individual needs, users can rely on the same features and benefits.
