Fiber Distribution & Termination
To realize the connection of fiber optic cable, we often need to use ODF(optical distribution frame), fiber termination box( rack mount fiber optic patch panel, indoor FTTH wall outlet) fiber distribution box for fiber management in the fiber optic link.
Fiber Distribution & Termination
With the coming of the 5G and big data era, the deployment of optical fibers has been growing, and with the growth, the management of optical transmission networks has become more difficult. In order to process a large number of optical fibers with lower cost and higher flexibility, we often need to use ODF, optical fiber terminal box, and optical fiber distribution box. Choosing the right fiber optic box is the key to successful cable management.
Fiber Patch Panel: The most common types of fiber patch panels are: Rack Mount, Wall mount, Outdoor, & DIN mount.
Fiber Terminal Box: Fiber optic terminal boxes can be divided into different types according to different methods, such as straight-through and branch types according to the optical cable connection method; some can be equipped with adapters while some can not; according to the shell material, it can be divided into metal shell fiber.
Fiber Splice Closure: For outside plant splice closure, there are two major types: horizontal splice closure and vertical splice closure. Horizontal types closure look like a flat or cylindrical case, they provide space and protection for fiber optic cable splicing and joint. Vertical type of fiber optic splice closure looks like a dome, thus they are also called dome type. They meet the same specification as the horizontal types. They are designed for buried applications.
