Leviton Network Solutions today announced the launch of its Opt-X Ultra 4RU high-density fiber enclosures. Opt-X Ultra 1RU and 2RU enclosures launched in July 2008, introducing a new standard of style and functionality to the fiber enclosure market. The new 4RU model allows termination of up to 288 fibers, with easy accessibility for installation and management in higher density installations.

The Opt-X Ultra line of enclosures was designed from the ground up to meet the specific demands of data centers and large enterprises. An unparalleled feature set delivers superior functionality:

·         Tinted polycarbonate and 16-gauge powder-coated steel construction is aesthetically appealing and durable

·         Easy-glide sliding tray is fully removable to facilitate high-density field terminations and splicing; front and rear of bulkhead remains accessible for moves, adds, and changes

·         Transparent, removable front and rear doors and chassis covers provide enhanced visibility and accessibility

·         Bulkheads accept Plug-n-Play MTP modules, or splice trays and adapter plates

·         Stackable, adjustable fiber management rings organize, protect, and store fiber slack

·         17” depth accommodates high-density fiber termination and splicing

·         Patch cord bend radius guides prevent macro-bending of routed fibers at cable exit points

The enclosures have proven to be a big hit in the data center and large enterprise markets. “Customer response has far exceeded our expectations,” said Dennis Manes, senior applications engineer for Leviton’s Network Solutions business unit. “I’ve been in the fiber business for more than 20 years, and the Opt-X Ultra has been among the most well-received new products I’ve worked with. Everyone I’ve talked to has been thrilled with how well the enclosures meet their needs. The 4RU model, with its large interior space and high fiber capacity, should be met with just as much enthusiasm.”

Leviton has already received substantial preorders for the 4RU Opt-X Ultra, including several customized through the “Build Your Own” option at www.leviton.com/configurator.
