Improve fibre optic cable patch cord management in Data Racks – New Ducting products

The Warren and Brown optical fibre ducting raceway is an Australian made solution for managing, routing and protecting fiber optic cords between termination equipment, patch panels and fibre optic splicing cabinets or frames. This cost-effective and reliable solution has been used in telecommunications exchanges, data centres, universities, hospitals, or anywhere fibre optic cabling is present.

The ducting raceway range keeps growing and evolving as new products were developed and introduced to the range.

 

ELBOW, 90O, M50 X 1.5

This 90o Elbow is typically used to feed an optical fibre cable into a cabinet after the cable has “broken-out” into several optical fibres. The Elbow is fastened to the cabinet using an M50 nut, after passing through a clearance hole. The lower end of the Elbow can accept either a 38mm dia. cable; or a Convoluted Tube, which houses the incoming optical fibre cable. The inner radius of the Elbow is 56mm, and the internal diameter is 41.5mm; so, the Elbow can typically accept a cable of around 37/38mm dia.

Benefits & Features:

  • 90o Elbow feeds cable into a cabinet
  • Makes a dust tight seal
  • Lower Elbow end accepts 38mm dia. Convoluted Tube


MOUNTING CLIP FOR METAL DUCTING FOR AN OVER THE TOP OUTLET:

A pair of plastic mounting clips enables an “Over the Top Outlet” to be located anywhere along a metal duct run. This enables optical fibre cords to leave the duct run at any position along its length, whilst maintaining the MBR at 30mm. The “Over the Top Outlet” allows 2.0mm dia. optical fibre cords to “drop-off” the duct run and feed into 100mm x 100mm (FR) plastic duct and components. The “Over the Top Outlet” is Part No: TC1279-307A; and is available separately.

 

Benefits & Features:

  • Two mounting clips enable an “Over the Top Outlet” to be positioned anywhere along a metal duct run
  • A mounting clip fits into a slot, near the side of an “Over the Top Outlet”
  • The mounting clip can be used on a metal duct with or without a top edge return of 10mm width
  • Purchase as a set of two mounting clips
