Pre-terminated Solutions
RapidNet
RapidNet, the world’s leading pre-terminated cabling system from HellermannTyton provides the
perfect solution for installations of any size. Available in both ?bre and copper, adopting a RapidNet
installation for your project can reduce installation time by up to 85%.
High Density
Because RapidNet is factory pre-terminated and pre-tested, there is minimal engineering work
required once the product arrives on site. The RapidNet concept is based on an innovative and fully
patented cassette that hosts the pre-terminated ? bre or copper connections.
Each ?bre cassette can offer up to 144 ? bres with MTP VHD, whilst the copper cassette can offer up
to 12 RJ45 ports using the 12 port cassette or 6 RJ45 ports using the standard copper cassette.
Simple to Install
The cassettes simply plug into the RapidNet 19” panel that hosts 4 cassettes providing the standard
24 ports per U in copper or up to 576 ?bres in the MTP VHD ?bre
version. HellermannTyton also offer a 4 port cassette and 12 port
cassette providing 24 or 48 ports in 1U of rack space.
Common Applications
The most common application for RapidNet is cabinet to cabinet
and cabinet to patching ?eld. This is where RapidNet occupies a
unique position and is in a league of its own. By utilising the
cassette to cassette version, with the cabled loom cut to a speci?ed
length, the cassette is simply inserted into each cabinet or rack
mounted patch panel in a simple and easy action. The cable that
runs between the cassettes is either placed in the under ?oor or
ceiling voids or in overhead basket trays depending on your
environment.
Environmentally Friendly
RapidNet delivers environmental bene?ts as soon as it’s speci?ed.
Firstly, it’s manufactured in the UK, so from the minute it leaves the ISO
14001 accredited factory in Northampton its carbon foot print is
minimal. RapidNet is pre-terminated and where speci?ed made to
exact lengths. This cuts down on large amounts of waste cable, on-
site and at the HellermannTyton factory. Where possible, RapidNet is
supplied on re-usable plastic drums again cutting down on waste
packaging.
