also be locked to prevent access to the server connections but still allow access to the patching zones.
Based on comparison studies, Siemon claims that VersaPOD cabinets can reduce the number of cabinets required in a typical datacentre by 20 %.
Tanzania’ s National Health Insurance Fund is deploying Siemon VersaPOD cabinets that meet high-density requirements of the modern datacentre.
With a total of 92 copper connections, the National Health Insurance Fund datacentre also requires Category 6A cabling that exceeds current standards. Siemon’ s Z-MAX 6A F / UTP solution was considered the most suitable option by combining performance and usability with security and noise immunity. It also helped speed up the installation.
Iyer Sivakumar, Simeon Africa Sales Manager, says,“ Due to its innovative design, Z-MAX 6A offers significantly reduced installation times when used in conjunction with our Z-MAX Termination Tool. This combination means outlets can be terminated in as little as 60 seconds, which helps reduce labour time and costs.”
For cabling it is using Siemon’ s Z-MAX 6A F / UTP solution combining performance and usability with security and noise immunity.
Complementing Z-MAX is Siemon’ s XGLO multimode high density plug and play optical fibre cable, incorporating modules, reel and connect panels. XGLO utilises laser-optimised fibre for superior transmission performance for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and exceeds ANSI, TIA, EIA and ISO, IEC insertion loss and return loss requirements.
As with Z-MAX, installation time is also saved thanks to the use of Siemon’ s fibre mechanical splice termination tool and connectivity system.

cabinets that meet high-density requirements of the modern datacentre. VersaPOD leverages the vertical space between bay cabinets for patching and cable management, freeing critical horizontal space for active equipment and providing superior density in minimum floor space.
In a standard server rack configuration, 48 port patch panels required for patching to each server each occupy 2U worth of horizontal space. With VersaPOD cabinets, these patch panels can be mounted in the vertical patching area. For added security, the cabinet doors of the VersaPOD can
The new datacentre has been a success and National Health Insurance Fund’ s Bakari Yahaya Mhamali is confident that the network infrastructure solution configured by Emerging Communications will ensure a level of future proofing.“ We have the added peace of mind through a Siemon twenty-year warranty, which covers products, performance and applications assurance.” www. intelligentcio. com INTELLIGENTCIO
