The FlexCore™ ODF system can manage up to 3,168 fibres per frame, making it easy to create multiple configurations using just three modular building blocks. This flexibility allows for design customisation and scalability while optimising both product availability and system density. Compared to typical data centre cabinets, FlexCore™ ODF can reduce floor space in a data centre by 50%*. In addition, with side panels and doors with locks, the FlexCore™ ODF solution allows the system to be completely enclosed and secure.

“As the value of each fibre circuit rises exponentially and networks continue to densify, data centre managers who demonstrate greater scalability, agility, and resilience will gain a business advantage,” stated Hans Obermillacher, Panduit Senior Business Development Manager for Data Centres EMEA. “FlexCore™ delivers on all those fronts with its unrivalled manageability, scalability, fibre circuit protection, and security features.”
