A HIGH-DENSITY, EASY ACCESS FAMILY OF STRUCTURED CABLING PRODUCTS WITH INDUSTRY-LEADING FEATURES
Optical Cable Corporation (Nasdaq GM: OCC) (“OCC®” or the “Company”) today introduced Procyon™, a new family of structured cabling products featuring industry-leading performance, density, accessibility and cable management features designed for use in various applications, including data centers. OCC’s Procyon family of products includes copper and fiber panels with integrated cable management systems, high-density fiber cassettes, cabinets, and more.
“OCC has a long history of pioneering innovation and offering industry-leading technologies. The Procyon family of products is an important part of our product line expansion strategy, under which we are building on OCC’s legacy to better serve our customers and end-users and to continue creating shareholder value,” said Neil Wilkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Optical Cable Corporation.
“OCC appreciates the challenges faced by IT, structured cabling and data center professionals,” said Wilkin. “We have listened closely to installers and users to better understand what they want, what works and what doesn’t work—and we have applied that feedback to develop Procyon, OCC’s next generation of structured cabling products.”
“The Procyon family of products offers a complete system approach,” said Dr. Ian Timmins, Research & Development Engineer at Optical Cable Corporation. “We didn’t just create a single component—we developed a system that allows a single component to work better when combined with corresponding components, as well as on its own. When used with OCC’s comprehensive suite of cabling and connectivity products and solutions, the performance, functionality and versatility of our Procyon offering surpasses all expectations.”
“Procyon offers unprecedented integration of essential features and the highest density per rack unit on the market, clearly differentiating it from products offered by other manufacturers” added Timmins. “Others may have high-density, but lack effective cable management; or they may have cable management covered, but don’t have the density or port count available with OCC products. With OCC, you get it all.”
Ted Leonard, Vice President of Technology and Engineering at Optical Cable Corporation, added, “In addition to technical excellence, Procyon was designed to be easy to use and cost effective. Procyon systems are designed for pre-configuration so that IT professionals can kit together the components needed for simpler installations. Plug-and-play just got easier.”
