Function
From the viewpoint of internal cable structuring, the splicing shelf performs the function of a conventional shelf, offering the flexibility of a retubed fibre input and output via the rear and a pigtail output via the front.
Moreover, the shelf offers an additional function of individual management of the fibres:
- Either singly (one fibre per cassette),
- Or by circuit (two fibres per cassette),
- Or by element (one tube per cassette).
Design
The splicing shelf for individual management of the fibres can accept 1 or 2 FiberArt™ modules.
Each FiberArt™ module includes 12 individual cassettes used to connect 1 to 12 fibres.
It is thus used to individually manage:
- 12 subscribers,
- 24 subscribers.
The splicing capacity of the shelf for 12 subscribers is 72 fibres, and 24 subscriber the shelf takes 144 fibres.
The shelf is compatible with the various formats on the market, namely 19", ETSI and 23".
The shelf is of swivelling type in order to optimize accessibility while allowing minimum lateral movement of the tubed or pigtailed fibres, in order to guarantee a minimum transient loss effect.
The shelf is composed of :
- A fixed chassis attached to the protection rack,
- A horizontally swiveling front panel,
- Tube guide and pigtail accessories in order to comply with the radium of curvature of the fibres,
- Coiling accessories for the excess tube lengths.
