Client and Project Review
The Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) is a non-profit, non-government organization which manages the entire IT system of the GST portal. The reform mandated integration of entire nation’s diverse tax portfolio into a single taxation system and this brought upon a massive complexity in developing Data Centres and Recovery Data Centres. The stakeholders understood the benefits associated with engaging data centre specialists to design and build their mission critical environment and selected Infosys and 3C3 as its partners.
The Brief
Design and Build 2 Primary Data Centres & 2 Recovery Data Centres on 3c3 Fibre, end to end.
Challenges & Constraints The primary challenge was meeting the required go live date. Co-ordinating multiple vendors and, the delivery, testing and migration of new IT equipment, and systems, into a fully operational data centre build was challenging initially. However, through close liaison with the client and third-party contractors along with coordination of critical path items and activities optimised, the business environment was handed over successfully and before the deadline.
The Solution
A strong IT Infrastructure and Service back bone which enables capture, processing and exchange of information amongst the stakeholders was required. The proposed data centre designs had significant advantages as it was more space efficient, provided more cabinet positions, delivered more power and cooling capacity and was more resilient. This project was completed in a record time frame due to the programme constraints and urgency. Careful attention to client requirements ensured a very energy efficient data centre.
The Benefits
• Cost effective design without compromising on quality
• Solution was compliant with all Technical Specifications
• The Designs were 66% cheaper to the nearest Competitor

Comcore Connexions or 3C3 as we are now known is a one-stop solution for various networking products, such as copper and fiber optic cables. The company offers totally integrated solutions to its clients, which helps them avoid approaching different vendors and purchasing each system separately. We are not only one of the leading Cat6 Cable manufacturers in India, but are also considered as one of the top 10 fiber optic cable manufacturers in India. Our range of products also includes Cat5, Cat5E, Cat7 and the latest Cat8 Cables.
What is a Cat6 Cable?
There are different kinds of Ethernet Cables. They are Category 6 or Cat6 Cables, Category 7 or Cat7 Cables and Category8 or Cat8 Cables. In a Cat6 Cable, there are 4 pairs of copper wires that support 10 Gbps of Ethernet connection. 35 – 55 Meters of cables are supported at a transmitting speed of 10 Gbps. Signals of up to 250 MHz frequency are transmitted, which means that the signal passes so many number of times through the cables. It uses the RJ-45 Standard Connector and is compatible to its previous versions of a Cat5 and a Cat5E Cable in a backward fashion. In spite of the emergence of Cat8 Cables, Cat6 Cables continue to support the bandwidth requirements of end customers, data centers and gigabit networks.
What is a Cat8 Cable?
Cat8 or Category8 Cables are the next generation Ethernet Copper Cables that support a frequency of up to 2000 MHz, though it is limited to a 30-meter, 2-connector channel. A shielded cabling is required for their usage, but the speed that they support can go up to 25 to 40 Gbps. They look very similar to their lower category cables and can be terminated either in RJ-45 or non RJ-45 Connections. Just like the Cat6 version, they are also compatible to previous versions in a backward manner. They are specifically designed to be used at data centers where high intensity server-to-switch bandwidth connections are made.

Various tools are required for the installation and maintenance of networking products or their use in system integrators.
Why are fiber optic tools important?
Tools are extremely important to install, maintain, and troubleshoot networking products. Fiber optic networks are extremely delicate and complex to install, maintain, and troubleshoot. Specific tools need to be used which are meant for a particular purpose to ensure fiber optic cables are not damaged and high performance is achieved. There are different procedures to be adapted in order to get effective results and it is imperative to understand these basic, but golden rules, in order to get the best results.
What are the different kinds of fiber optic tools for testing and installation?
Splicing Tools
There are fiber optics that need to be melted together, for which splicing tools are required. There are different kinds of splicing tools for fiber optics that are available in the market. They are heat oven, fiber splice protection sleeves, fusion splice, optic lever, and many others. Mechanical and fusion splicing are the two kinds of splicing that can be done. Two fiber ends of an optic cable are held together in order to have a light pass from one fiber to another. This kind of process is managed by mechanical tools. Infusion splicing, glass ends of the fiber are fused or welded together to ensure that there is a continuous connection and very little light is lost
Fiber Inspection or Fiber Tools
Fiber tools are used for the production and troubleshooting of fiber optics, to ensure that they work continuously and effectively. There are various aspects of a cable that can be tested; the amount of power that is being transmitted, breakages, and any other aspect that needs to be checked. There are different kinds of inspection tools that can be used and some of them are faulty locators and optical identifiers.
Cleaning Tools
In order to transmit light without any obstruction, it is important to ensure that the fiber cables are free from dust, dirt, oil, and other constraints. The main areas that require cleaning are connectors and ferrules. No cables should be touched with bare or naked hands, in order to avoid contamination and damaging of the cables. Alcohol and wipes are the best materials to be used for cleaning.
The various kinds of Fiber Optic Tools offered by 3C3 and their uses:
Splicing Machines
Splicing Machines like OFS-108, OFS-109, and Fiber Splicing Tool Kits are used for high-speed fiber fusion.
Fiber Strippers and Fiber Jacket Strippers
These tools are used to remove the jacketing, from 1.6 mm to 3.0 mm. The coating is stripped to expose the fiber cladding.
Cutters
There are two kinds of Cutters – Fiber Cable Yarn Cutters and Fiber Tubing Cutters. Cutters are used to cut the members inside the Fiber Jackets and the Metal Central Tube.
Fiber Optic Adapters
They are used to join two fiber optic patch cables together and come with superior low loss performances and high repeatability.
Slitters
3C3 offers Universal Round Fiber Cable Slitters, Armored Cable Slitters, and Longitudinal Cable Sheath Slitters and is used for jacket removal of PE, PVC, and Rubber.
High Precision Cleavers
They are used to cleave fibers quickly, easily, and effectively and are a perfect aid to any field splicing systems.
