New range on offer

DAETWYLER Cables presented a newly developed range of 19" high-density ODFs (Optical Distribution Frames) for use in FTTh backbone and distribution networks at the FTTh Conference in Milan, Italy. With up to 6,624 LC connectors on 47 rack units (U) the optical distribution frames allow the highest port density on the market to date. Despite high packing densities the ODFs offer clear patch cable management and ample space for convenient assembly, splicing and patching. The standard version ODFs are supplied as a 19" rack of 42U and 47U at heights of 2,000 and 2,200mm, respectively, both of them 1,200mm wide and 800mm deep. In the 42u standard model up to 2,880 optical fibres, and in the back-to-back version as many as 5,760 fibres, can be connected to LC ports. The 47U model has space for 3,312 and 6,624 LC connectors. Daetwyler Cables can also supply the ODFs in other dimensions, for example in a depth of 400 or 600mm, or in individual heights. The ODFs provide a sophisticated patch cable management system which allows the easy vertical and horizontal organisation of patch cables and adequate space for routing and storing surplus lengths. In addition to storage space for spare conductors they have an integrated cable splitter box which can also be mounted in the floor cavity, on the roof or on the side wall as required, semi-circular and circular bend radius control devices on all fibre
