Excel to Blow Away the Competition

Excel Networking Solutions, the copper and optical cabling infrastructure provider, has signed an agreement to offer the Sirocco Blown Fibre Solution from Prysmian Cables & Systems, and it will now be offered alongside the Excel structured cabling system.

The Sirocco Blown Fibre System provides a solution to manage evolving network demands without the need for high initial capital expenditure or extensive network planning. Sirocco enables optical networks to adapt to changing business requirements. Sirocco allows optical fibres to be deployed on demand from one point of a network to another (internal or external) using compressed air to blow optical fibre into pre-installed tubes.

The flexibility offered by blown fibre solutions can substantially minimise today's network build costs. With the many uncertainties in the market, such as future trends in technology, demand from customers, people movement and financial confidence, Sirocco can provide a flexible, low total life cost and ‘peace of mind’ solution.

Commenting on the partnership, Simon Robinson, Excel Product Manager, says, "We are delighted with this recent signing; the Sirocco range from Prysmian perfectly complements the Excel copper product portfolio. This, combined with our recent introduction of the RiT EPV Intelligent Infrastructure Management System, means we can now offer customers the complete solution to suit any installation requirement."

Robinson continues, "The Excel cabling system is one of the most comprehensive solutions available in the market today. With independent verification from test houses Delta and ETL together with our 25 year product and application warranty, customers are guaranteed a quality solution."
