Since 2008, our patented modular tML® cabling system has been as successful as it is versatile and a guaranteed safe investment. Thanks to plug-and-play, even complex networks can be realised with ease. It impresses with a very high packing density and can be easily remodelled or expanded. As such, it is the first choice if you want to make optimum use of scarce and valuable space - in hyperscale data centres or in industry - while remaining future-proof.

At the heart of the tML® system with its three core components - module, trunk cables and module rack - are the rear MPO/MTP or MMC and Telco connectors: They can be used to connect at least six or twelve ports at once. We have pre-assembled and tested our plug-and-play system components for this purpose - saving you time during installation on site. Fibre optic and twisted patch modules (TP) with a very high port density can be mixed in a module rack. Depending on the module configuration, transmission rates of up to 800 G and more can currently be realised.

The tML® cabling system is available in different versions: tML® 12, tML® 24, tML® 32, and the new tML® 24+ for extreme scalability and very simple migration to higher transmission rates such as 40 G, 200 G, 400 G and 800 G and higher. An initial overview of the individual tde cabling systems with fibre optic splice modules among others is provided below. You can also find all system components in our online shop.

With our online configurators, you can also easily and intuitively create your customised configuration to suit your requirements in just a few steps.

tML® 12 is an extended version of our successful and proven tML® cabling system. Very high packing density and flexibly expandable cabling - that's what sets our tML® 12 system apart. Up to eight fibre optic or TP modules can be mixed together using a module rack with a very high port density.

Since its market launch in 2008, the tML® cabling platform has been continuously improved

Combined with 19-inch module racks, they offer space for 48 x RJ45 ports, 96 x fibre optic LC duplex ports with 192 fibres, 96 x 12-fibre MPO with a total of 1152 fibres or 96 x 24 fibre-MPO with 2304 fibres within one height unit (U) when fully packed. Since the tML® was launched in 2008, we have been continuously improving our cabling platform: It is fully compatible with old connection technologies and unusual mating faces (ST, SC, E2000, LC, MT-RJ, MU) as well as with the latest generation of compact single fibre connectors (CS, MDC, SN). In addition, it even supports future connector faces. The cabling platform tML® 12 is available in fibre classes OS2, OM1 to OM5.

Simplified network cabling for maximum operational reliability

Standardise your network structure with the tML® 12 module. Instead of complex patch cable variants and inconsistent module assignments (A, B or C), with our tML® 12 module you can rely on a standardised solution. The modules and patch cables are assigned identically on both sides – before and after the migration to higher transmission rates.

Your advantage: You no longer have to worry about assignments. Stocking and handling the network distributor is much easier. This does not only reduces sources of error, but saves installation time and increases migration security which makes it ideal for data centres and future-proof IT infrastructures.

Our innovative tML-24-system impresses with help of its enormous packing density: For this, we have equipped the trunk cables and modules of the tML-system with a 24-fibre-MPO. The result: The complete rear cabling is based on the connector. Compared to the 12-fibre-MPO-connector that has the same construct, this can offer two rows with up to twelve fibres per row, which is double the number of fibres of the 12-fibre-MPO system and therefore offers a compact performance with the most limited of space. As network engineers only need to install just half the number of cables and plugs, the cable volume in data centres is reduced massively.

At the same time, we are revolutionising the migration to higher transmission rates, as depending on module assembly, because currently, when you receive the tML24-system, you get transmission rates of 10G up to 400G. Here is where the tML-24 impresses, with the highest possible investment protection while enjoying the most amount of flexibility: We have designed the product in a way that for all types of transmission rates, consistently uniform occupied components can be used on both tML-24 sides.

The advantage: network technicians at no point need to worry about cable pinout. 96 MPO Ports can be implemented on one height unit. At full mountings, the tML-24-system can fit 2304 fibres on to one height unit – without any problems regarding attenuation budget.

The new tML®24+ module is the next level of modular data center cabling. Based on the proven tML system, it delivers significantly higher performance – while requiring less space. Designed for high-speed applications of up to 800G and beyond, tML®24+ features a modular design that ensures migration flexibility and easy adaptation to evolving requirements. This makes your infrastructure future-ready – with full investment control.

The benefits of tML®24+ at a glance: More fibers. Less space. Maximum performance.

Double the packing density: tML®24+ is the first system to use the innovative and compact 24-fiber MMC connector in both the rear and patch areas. This enables up to 4,608 fibers per rack unit – setting a new benchmark in data center cabling.

Space-saving & powerful: The MMC connector is just one-third the size of conventional MPO connectors. At the same time, it improves optical performance, offering superior return and insertion loss values – thanks to its APC-angled polish, even in multimode applications.

Fully modular & pre-terminated: As with the established tML system, tML®24+ follows the plug-and-play principle. Modules, trunks, and module carriers are manufactured and tested in Germany, ensuring fast and easy on-site installation – with no splicing or reworking required.

Investment-ready & future-proof: Thanks to state-of-the-art connector technology and support for transmission rates of 800G and beyond, tML®24+ is the ideal solution for high-speed and migration scenarios in data centers.

Market innovation: tde is the first provider in Europe to integrate the MMC connector into the rear of a modular system – a clear sign of technological leadership. This makes tML®24+ a unique product on the market – and your solution a true competitive advantage.

Conclusion

With tML®24+, you take your network infrastructure to the next level: more fibers, less space, better performance. The ideal solution for anyone unwilling to compromise on data center cabling. Set new standards in your data center cabling with tML®24+. Discover how to double your port density – without compromising on performance. Our experts are happy to advise you. Technical details can be found in our datasheets in the online shop.

Ready for Highspeed: With the branch-wide unique tML-32-cabling system, we have been setting new standards since 2019 while migrating quickly and simply to higher data transmission rates. For this, the rear cabling of the modular tML-system is based on the 32-fibre-MPO-connector, with which data transmission rates up to 400G can be reached, while also having an enormous packing density of up to 3072 fibres on one height unit, with more possibilities to improve.

Regardless of which tML-system platform you decide to go for: As singular system components can be changed and re-used, if there are any network changes, tML therefore contributes to more sustainability and also to more Green IT. The best thing: From the start, we designed our tML-platforms to be highly compatible, and we are improving them consistently. So that you are prepared for the future.
