Control your costs – add density, conserve space, maintain flexibility
As the number of installed fibres grows, so do the demands on optical distribution frames (ODF). Adding more frames is frequently physically impossible or can be un-economic, taking up valuable floor-space required for active equipment. The capability of a carrier's optical distribution frame to handle large amounts of fibre in a small footprint with easy access becomes crucial.
Increasing the optical distribution frame density can provide significant cost-savings to the service provider. But many high density frames are also highly difficult to work on, complicating the constant task of moves, adds and changes (MACs) ADC KRONE has used its 80 years experience of designing operational carrier connectivity solutions to devise optical distribution frames that technicians find easy to work with - while still meeting the planning engineer's high density requirements.
Modularity and expandability are equally vital for service providers to add and rearrange fibres, to respond quickly and flexibly to customers' changing needs.
To meet all of these demands ADC KRONE offers a choice of high density, modular, fibre distribution frame systems.

ADC KRONE's NGF next generation frame product line is designed to meet a variety of termination, splice, and storage applications with ease of use. It is ideal for converged networks. Up to 1152 (standard connector)/1728 (small-form-factor connectors) fibres per frame. |

The ODF Optical Distribution Frame with FAME® Technology terminates and splices up to 1440 fibres in an 1800 x 1500 x 300mm footprint (1752 in a 2200 x 1500 x 300mm footprint). The frame protects fibre cable and connections through use of patented angled adapter/retainers and design features that maintain correct bend radii throughout the frame. FAME® technology features a splice cassette system (either single circuit or single element), with built-in cable guide elements that allow easy fibre jumpering between cassettes. The cassettes' design prevents motion of loose tubes and any other fibres during routine operations or repairs. |
