3 Things You Shold Know about Fiber Patch Panel (ODF)
To avoid the risk of fiber damage, protect your fiber optic network today with Fiber Patch Panel (ODF). While optical fibers have been widely used in telecommunication, the core of optical fiber is very thin. As a result, if the fiber isn't handled with care, it can cause harm to the fibers inside.
Fiber panels protect and store excess fiber wires from installation and reduce threats to the security of your fiber network. Fiber panels can be installed in a data rack and are typically 19 inches wide, and widely used in fiber cabling systems.
What's the benefit of a fiber patch panel?
● A systematic way to deal with complex fiber-optic networks
● A sturdy physical structure brings durability to fiber data wiring
● High-density solutions to obtain more connectivity in a given space
What's inside the fiber patch panel?
- Fiber Front Plate: where the fiber coupler is installed, and fiber patch cord connected.
- Bottom Tray: A tray that carries the splice tray and fiber pigtail, which can be pulled out for easy operation and maintenance.
- Splice Tray is where the fusion splicing is performed, each fiber wire can be protected and placed in the splice tray independently after the fiber fusion.
- Routing Spool is where excess wires can be wrapped and stored, for easy access in the future.
- Cable Entry: behind or on the sides of the fiber panel, which are mostly used with cable glands to fix the fiber cable.
- Cable Management: to provide physical protection for fiber patch cords and prevent them from over bending.
How many ports are in the fiber panel?
Most of the fiber panels have a fixed 12-hole or 24-hole front, which can be matched with different fiber couplers such as SC/LC/FC/ST adapters. Yet some other fiber panels are designed to serve high-density installation that holds up to 144C (18 holes with 36 pcs LC quad adaptor). There are also some models like LGX type (3 slots) that can be worked with smaller adaptor plates, which can hold up to 72C.
MF series fiber panel, your smart choice!
Mating different combinations of 12 fibers, 24 fibers, 36 fibers, 48 fibers, 72 fibers, and 96 fibers with different adapters including SC, ST, FC, LC is undoubtedly a huge inventory and cost. Therefore, an MF series (Multiple Function) fiber panel is greatly recommended, they share the same enclosure structure and parts so that you can easily complete the installation with the corresponding front panel and accessories that meet your requirement.
