Methode’s Fast Channel™ Switch Connect is high-density hardware cabling designed for rapid installation. Compact and reliable, Fast Channel Switch Connect minimizes part numbers and allows for easy access and trouble shooting, making it highly functional. Its simple configuration is aesthetically pleasing and reduces excess cable slack. The solution is adaptable to both vertical- or horizontal-mounted SFP blade systems and can be mounted in any 19-inch rack.
Fast Channel Switch Connect extends the lifecycle of your physical infrastructure and allows you to manage high-density Director Class Switches with up to 512 ports. All lengths have been pre-configured based on the hardware requirements. For example, the Brocade DCX FC8-64 (vertical or horizontal) high-density blades or DCX-FC8-48 (vertical or horizontal) blades can be mounted in the DCX or DCX-4S Chassis.

AttributesHigh DensityBy employing the Fast Channel Switch Connect Panel and the designed MTP-mSFP LC-Pro-Slide™ harnesses one would be able to efficiently equip and cable all 512 ports within a Brocade DCX Director and have the ability to precisely manage all connectivity within the associated chassis. Multiple OptionsUtilizing the Fast Channel Switch Connect Conversion Panel, and MTP-LC or MTP-mSFP-LC-Pro-Slide™ harnesses, one would be able to convert their existing infrastructure and physical connectivity from standard LC connectors to mSFP-LC-Pro-Slide connectors without the expense of replacing their entire infrastructure. You would also be prepared for any future changes in physical connectivity and changes to the SFP’s in the hardware. You Might Also ConsiderPatch PanelsAvailable in multiple configurations, Methode’s patch panels provide an extremely organized, above-the-floor infrastructure, accommodating 1-10 rack units and up to 528 ports.

Fast Channel™ Switch Connect combines high density, manageability, and multiple options to allow the conversion or changes in connectivity while providing positive return on your infrastructure investment.
AttributesHigh DensityBy employing the CTI Quantum™ Cabling Solution and the pre-configured MTP-LC harnesses one would be able to efficiently equip and cable all 512 ports within Enterprise class Director and have the ability to precisely manage all connectivity within the associated chassis. Multiple OptionsUtilizing the CTI Quantum™ Conversion Panel, and MTP-LC or MTP-mSFP-LC harnesses, one would be able to convert their existing infrastructure and physical connectivity from standard LC connectors to -mSFP-LC connectors without the expense of replacing their entire infrastructure. You would also be prepared for any future changes in physical connectivity and changes to the SFP’s in the hardware. CTI’s mSFP-LC-Pro-Slide™ connector is specifically designed to address the Brocade DCX FC8-64 high density blade that was introduced by Brocade in the spring of 2010. ManageabilityNeatly and precisely manage connectivity and infrastructure up to 512 ports. You Might Also ConsiderPatch PanelsCTI's Patch Panels offer high density port counts, and connector and coupler options to provide an organized infrastructure in a minimum amount of space. CTI’s patch panels are available with custom silk screen numbering to mirror any current or future hardware configuration.
