The Way to Reliable Networks

Statement / Mission

Better Connected is all about effectively sinking the total costs of data net-
work cabling over the entire service life.

R&M stands for durable products with maximum availability and reliability
over the entire service life of the installa- tion. R&M wants to ensure that its
network components deliver the performance guaranteed throughout the
entire life cycle.

Minimal downtime costs thanks to maximum availability

Maximum ease of installation thanks to the implementation

R&M plug-in components cut a convincing figure with their reliability in every oper-
ating phase (life cycle phase). Microfeatures, constructive details, take care of that.

Whether an improved hold on the cable jacket by crimping or absorption of forces


on the plugged-in connection: The microfeatures play a major role in the durability
and reliability of our products.

Microfeatures

Microfeatures Plug&Play
Plug it in – you‘re done! That‘s what every installer dreams of.
After installation has been completed, disillusionment often sets in during
the final measuring before com- missioning if the IL and RL values of the
connections are too high and the search for a patch cord fulfilling the optical
requirements with its mating connector begins.

For more information see the technical information sheet Microfeatures: Plug&Play.

Microfeatures Connectivity
Defining the quality / suitability of a mated FO connection solely by the IL /
RL values determined directly after the production of the patch cord or pigtail
against a master connector under optimal measuring con- ditions does not
correctly reflect the reality of operation.

During operation, the connection is periodically or constantly exposed to in-


fluences which can negatively impact the transmission characteristics.

Microfeatures: FO patch cord


Influences on a patch cord during tampering procedures during installation
and maintenance are mainly of a mechanical nature.

R&M FO patch cords have been specially designed for practice.
