Gloriosa - Modular Patching Platform

The platform provides a convenient, scalable, and cost-effective way to organize optical and copper connections within a single enclosure, allowing the patching infrastructure to be quickly adapted to changing network requirements.
Unlike traditional solutions based on pre-terminated breakout and conversion cassettes, Gloriosa features a modular architecture that combines adapter modules and pre-terminated in-panel optical assemblies. This approach significantly simplifies system configuration, reduces upgrade costs, and provides maximum flexibility when introducing new services and changing equipment configurations.

The ability to accommodate LC and MPO (MTP) optical interfaces, as well as RJ-45 twisted-pair ports, within a single 1U enclosure makes the platform a versatile solution for connecting Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches, servers, storage systems, and other network equipment.

Key Benefits

• Modular architecture for rapid adaptation to project requirements.
• Optical and copper interfaces in a single 1U enclosure.
• High connection density while maintaining ease of operation and maintenance.
• Scalability without replacing the base panel, thanks to interchangeable modules and pre-terminated in-panel assemblies.
• Fast servicing and reduced time required for MAC (Moves, Adds & Changes) operations.
• Integration with the MYCELIUM ecosystem and other Patchwork solutions.

Platform Components

The Gloriosa platform includes:

• a sliding panel that can be accessed and pulled out from both the front and rear of the rack;
• a front cable manager with a transparent hinged or removable cover and an integrated port labeling area;
• tool-free interface modules with LC and MPO (MTP) adapters, installable from either the front or rear of the panel;
• pre-terminated MTP–LC and MTP–MTP in-panel optical assemblies for Base-8, Base-12, Base-16, and Base-24 configurations;
• RJ-45 modules for integrating copper connections into a single patching platform.
