Wall-mount enclosure gives maximum fibre density

A Schroff UK product story

Schroff is now offering a new wall-mount enclosure system for accommodating fibre optic cables and telephone lines which enable users to handle many more optical fibres

Schroff is now offering a new wall-mount enclosure system for accommodating fibre optic cables and telephone lines.

Compared with conventional systems, these enclosures enable users to handle many more optical fibres within the same space.

As fibre optic technology continues its advance down to the desktop, this new product family therefore represents the ideal solution for implementing space-saving and cost-effective distribution sub-units and floor distribution cabinets.

The modular enclosure system is constructed of sheet steel and comprises a miniature enclosure for up to 48 fibres, a base enclosure capable of accommodating up to 288 fibres, and add-on modules enabling the user to increase the number of fibres to a total of 576.

Installation of the fibre-optic and telephone distribution technology couldn't be easier.

The C-shaped design principle and the hinged sidewalls allow very good accessibility to all the modules.

What's more, cladding components and splice trays can be assembled and disassembled without the need for tools of any kind.

This dramatically shortens installation times.

Another feature calculated to make life easier for the user is that each individual splice tray is freely accessible for service work.

To allow 19-inch patch panels to be installed in the base enclosure, adjustable brackets are provided at 20mm intervals, enabling a maximum 4U-high vertical 19-inch level to be implemented.

In addition, a sidewall with integrated 19-inch mounting level for maximum 3U permits the enclosure to be subdivided into, for example, fibre-optic cabling and patching segments.

To complement its wall-mount enclosure series, Schroff provides a vast range of accessories, including splice trays, splice tray holders and sleeves, as well as cable routing aids, etc.
