CommScope recently announced the Propel XFrame solution, the latest addition to its Propel portfolio of high-performance data center solutions. Propel XFrame is a floor-mounted fiber frame designed to support and evolve with the demands of data centers and high-performance computing facilities. The solution will be available at the end of the second quarter of 2025.
It can be placed against a wall, back-to-back, or as a freestanding frame, allowing agility in its deployment. XFrame’s modularity simplifies high-density fiber crossconnects with single-length patch cords and preterminated breakout assemblies and splicing.
CommScope also points out the following characteristics of this solution.
It optimizes data center space with a low profile and multiple deployment configurations.
It expands data center manager options by maximizing the use of Propel components and panels with a frame that supports multiple standardized connector types.
The potential exists to reduce labor costs with front access to all panels; also, horizontal panels and vertical cable management keep cabling organized for faster, more-accurate moves/adds/changes.
“We believe the Propel XFrame solution is the answer to our data center customers’ most pressing needs,” commented Erik Gronvall, vice president of data center strategy and technology for CommScope. “The accelerating pace of data center evolution necessitates scalable solutions that work within the limits of available space, time and budget. This solution addresses that. Infrastructures inside data centers and high-performance computing facilities are being impacted by AI deployments and high-density fiber mesh architectures. This solution has a flexible modular design allowing for faster and easier changes or reconfigurations with fiber connections as networks evolve.”
