This subrack is typically used in Optical Fibre Termination Frames, or Customer cabinets.
The main functions of the subrack are to provide: a managed standard fibre installation, reticulation, interconnection, distribution, re-arrangement and maintenance activities at a common point. It also allows for fibre testing and fault finding activities. Typically an external optical fibre cable is fusion spliced to pigtails, which are connected to patch cords. Typically the patch cords can cross-connect (in a FTF) or connect to transmission equipment.
A major feature of this subrack is the minimum amount of movement that occurs to loose tubes and optical fibre cords, as the tray opens and closes. This ensures a very high degree of protection for working services. Also, the fusion splices and pigtails are located in a protected position, because there is very little chance of them being disturbed when patch cords are being installed, as the subracks tray only needs to be opened a very small amount.
Splice/Patch LH pivot open Subrack (1RU), for 24 optical fibres, rear mounts in a 19“ rack
Maintains fibre bending radii throughout, for terminated optical fibres at 30mm.
Supplied with 2 x 12 fibre, splice tray assembly (Part No: TC251S-2AX), for 24 fusion splices.
Two splice protector clips (Part No: TC250S-13) provided on each splice tray.
Optical fibre loose tubes are fed to the subracks RHS entry securing point, then around the rear of the body under a guiding/protection plate, to pass around the LHS guiding cylinder to the splice tray – in large, smooth curves.
