Introduction
Belden IBDN
FiberExpress Systems
Optical fiber systems offer many benefits:
high bandwidth and transmission speed,
the potential for network growth, extended
reach, fault tolerance, greater data security
and support for Gigabit and multi-Gigabit
protocols and networked applications.
Beyond these traditional benefits, however,
Belden offers the FiberExpress Solution,
a complete end-to-end cabling system
supporting both centralized and fiber-to-
the-desk topologies, as well as backbone
and campus cabling configurations. Our
FiberExpress Solutions meet or exceed all
applicable TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC and IEEE
standards and offer:

The FiberExpress Manager
The FiberExpress Manager
makes fiber management
easier than ever before.
Designed to streamline
termination, connection
and maintenance
activities, the FiberExpress
Manager uses a scalable,
modular approach to
adapt to a wide variety of
situations. The total system
provides extra high connection density
while facilitating cable routing and patch
cord management. The FiberExpress
Manager is adaptable for almost all
situations, traditional field termination or
pre-terminated modules, which reduces
design complexity and increases
deployment efficiency.
Extended Reach
Optical Fiber Cables
Extended Reach Optical Fiber Cables
propel your network into the future
of cable technology with our
multimode FiberExpress
FX300, FX600 or FX2000
series. These series were
developed to meet the
existing needs of networks at 1 Gb/s
(Ethernet, 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX)
and new networks at 10 Gb/s (Ethernet,
10GBase-S and 10GBase-LX4). These
series offer better reach for laser-based
systems. For 1 Gb/s Ethernet at 850 nm
(VCSEL), the FX300 and FX600 series
provide a range of 984 ft (300 m) and
1,968 ft (600 m), respectively. For 10 Gb/s
Ethernet at 850 nm (VCSEL), the FX2000
series provide a range of 984 ft (300 m) for
10GBase-S where all of multimode series
can offer a 984 ft (300 m) range at 1300 nm
(laser) for 10GBase-LX4. All of this while
assuring total compatibility with LED systems
and FDDI fiber installation cables. Our
single-mode cable offering enhances
the options for longer distance support —
up to 40 km — for any of the Gigabit
Ethernet applications.
The FiberExpress Bar
The FiberExpress Bar is an
extremely compact, modular
and resilient linking panel.
Resembling a power bar,
it offers 6 or 12 fibers,
pre-terminated with an SC,
SC duplex, ST-compatible,
LC, MT-RJ or FC connectors
and a cord terminated with a multi-fiber
MPO connector — all of which are factory
verified. The FiberExpress Bar can adapt to
all kinds of properties or developments,
and can serve as a consolidation or linking
point. It’s available in both single-mode and
multimode media.
For the ultimate in quick, easy and
reliable optical networking we also offer
the FiberExpress Pre-connectorized
System. Based on the concept of building
blocks, the complete range of pre-terminated
FiberExpress components bring flexibility to
the design stage. The in-factory fabrication
and verification of pre-terminated connections
ensures the high-performance and high-
quality of the product. These products are
“plug and go” and their deployment requires
no specialized tools — you can deploy
12 fibers in the same amount of time it
takes to connect a power cord to a standard
electrical plug. This pre-terminated
technology will help to preserve the initial
investment by its ability to be re-deployed
while always ensuring quality results.
Reduced design complexities
Greater deployment facility
Quick installation
Increased flexibility
Cost effective pricing

Optimax
®
Connectors
Optimax Connectors are a
revolutionary field-installable
optical fiber connector. The
unique design of the patented
mechanical splice body of
Optimax incorporates a factory
mounted fiber stub and a
pre-polished ceramic ferrule.
This technology consistently provides a
fast, secure and reliable LC, SC or ST
Compatible optical fiber termination for
multimode or single-mode cable. All critical
steps are performed in the factory, ensuring
a superior quality connection every time.
Quality Installation and Service
All Belden IBDN systems are designed,
installed and field-tested by fully-trained
and certified system contractors and
integrators to further assure superior
systems performance. They are also
backed by a strict System Certification
and Warranty Program.
System Certification and
Warranty Program
The Belden IBDN Certification Program
is a rigorous process that ensures that
your Belden IBDN ‘Certified’ System is
composed of Belden IBDN components,
designed and installed by a factory-trained
Certified System Vendor. Belden IBDN
‘Certified’ Systems are supported by a
series of warranties that surpass conventional
product warranties. Certification adds
important end-to-end system performance
guarantees and ensures full compliance
with cabling industry standard specifications
— even after system installation (Installable
Performance
®
). A 25-year Product Warranty
and a Lifetime Application Assurance
program accompany each Belden IBDN
‘Certified’ System installation. These
warranty programs include coverage for
both parts and labor.
