Direct equipment connection with hydra cables
Complete Connect’s M310 Series LC to LC 12 core singlemode (9/125) hydra trunk cables can be used in two applications; for direct connection to equipment or to use with through coupler panels.
The main feature of these hydra cables is their 2 mm patch cord style LC tails and robust breakout glands. These ensure a strong cable for use without fibre management.
The 12 core hydra trunk cable is made from 3 mm micro core cable which gives a small bend radius as well as minimising space and so enables high density fibre connectivity.
A dual sheath cable (4.5mm) is also available to offer even more protection.
Customised LC tails – staggered or straight
The ruggedised LC tails can be from 0.20 m to 3 m long so connection from the top to bottom of racks is easily achievable. Each LC pair can be staggered to any configuration to ensure tidy patching. A typical stagger would be 30 cm to the first pair and then 5 cm to subsequent pairs.

Optical Performance and Physical Specifications
LC simplex or duplex / SC simplex or duplex / FC simplex / ST simplex
All multimode pre-terminated cables use singlemode ferrules to achieve a higher optical performance. A singlemode ferrule is manufactured to a higher specification and so achieves a lower loss. We recommend using multimode patch cords that are made using singlemode ferrules to ensure the best performance.

CABLE FIRE RATING
CPR Compliance
European (including UK) Fire Rating Requirements for Data Cables
The introduction of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) in 2017 updated the cable sheath fire rating requirements for data cables. Although the rating system was harmonised (Euroclass system), the implementation of CPR was down to each country’s national standards body. This means that the fire rating required in a particular location is both country and application specific. The majority of countries require Dca rated cables as a minimum for patch cables and Cca or higher for trunk cables.
Bca rated cables
Depending on application, some countries require Bca rated cables. Please contact us directly for Bca rated cables. Please contact us directly for these cables.
Plenum OFNP rated cables are not covered within EU/UK regulations
Plenum sheath is specified within regulations in the USA. Plenum sheath cables would not automatically meet with EU fire rating requirements.

Complete Connect’s M310 Series hydra trunk cables are for connection between racks within data centre environments. Available in various configurations these hydra trunk cables enable connection between adjacent racks, pods of racks or distribution areas. As well as making direct connections between equipment SFP+ ports these hydra trunk cables can also be used with LC adapter plates.
M310 Series cables have a micro cable construction which gives them a small diameter, a low weight per meter and a low bend radius. Their intended use is to run between data racks in easily accessible overhead cable trays or open ducting systems separate from power cables or heavier copper cables.
