How to Use QuickNet
™
Fiber Cable Assemblies
The following sections illustrate and describe in greater detail how QuickNet
™
Fiber Trunks, Interconnects, Harnesses, and Patch
Cords are used in common data center cabling configurations .
Two-Connector Interconnect
In this configuration, a permanent link is installed between QuickNet
™
Patch Panels in the switch/network cabinet and the server or
storage cabinets. The most common, flexible and upgradeable QuickNet
™
Fiber solution is shown in
Figure 2, below .

Four-Connector Cross Connect
In this configuration, permanent links are installed between QuickNet
™
Patch Panels in the switch/network cabinet and server or
storage cabinets and a common cross connect cabinet or rack . In this scenario, any fiber from any switch port or server uplink can
be routed to anywhere within the datacenter. This option allows for the easy moves, adds, or changes. The most common, flexible,
and upgradeable QuickNet
™
Fiber solution is shown in Figure 3, below .
