Panduit Gen 7 SAN Director Connectivity
Built for Scale. Designed for Reality.
Panduit's Gen 7 SAN Director Connectivity Solution is purpose-built for Brocade Gen 7 FC64-64 environments, delivering true 1:1 port replication with exact alignment to blade numbering. High-density SN® connectivity, jumbo port-replication cassettes, and a Base-16 harness architecture reduce cabling complexity, cut installation time in half, and simplify moves, adds, and changes- without risking high-value SAN equipment.
Unlike competitive approaches that increase trunks and rear connections, Panduit preserves structure, clarity, and operational control while enabling higher bandwidth and port density in the same footprint.
How the Gen 7 Solves Cable Chaos
True Port Clarity: Exact 1:1 port replication aligned Brocade FC64-64 numbering eliminates guesswork.
Fewer Physical Connections: Reduces rear connections per blade by up to 87% using port replication architecture.
Simplified Cable Management: Base-16 harness design requires up to 50% fewer trunks than competitor solutions.
Faster Deployment: Cuts deployment time in half with pre-terminated assemblies and structured installs.
Low-Risk MACs: Enables clean moves, adds, and changes without touching high-value SAN equipment.
Protects High-Value Assets: Keeps hands off costly SAN switches while enabling scalable, high-density connectivity.
