TE Connectivity has expanded its Quareo family of physical layer management (PLM) solutions with the addition of an optical distribution frame (ODF) and a high-density equipment panel that incorporate the company's connection-point identification (CPID) technology. "Quareo PLM solutions enable higher network availability while reducing network costs by integrating full visibility of the physical layer into existing network management applications," TE Connectivity said when announcing the product-family expansion. "The new products expand options for central office and data center network architects who want to implement physical layer management to gain an accurate, real-time view of the physical network." Quareo is an end-to-end system combining hardware and software elements, and CPID technology (pictured below) to provide accurate visibility on the state of the physical network at all times, TE Connectivity explained.
