Universal Sub-racks
A range of universal modules is available with all the basic functions to interface the cables coming from the distribution network with the electronic equipment.
Those modules and their flexibility allow the operators to optimize their networks with all kind of cabinets.
Operators are now able to offer more services to their customers.
This solution integrates the main existing connection solutions by the application of a specific modular architecture.
Basic Functions guaranteed
Inter-connection node between the external network and the internal distribution network (all passive application) or the electronic equipment (OEM applications).
TOPTEL universal modules provide a solution for each of the functions to which they are devoted (splicing, patching, coiling, combined function, etc.).
For instance, combined modules are used to connect maximum 12 fibres cables (1U module, with a 12 splices cassette), while still retaining operational convenience (patch panel available for several types of existing connectors).
It has also a dedicated patchcords coiling level. The proximity of the functions also results in a reduction of pigtail lengths.
The module includes a space reserved for splicing of the incoming tubed fibres, as well as a frontal space devoted to patching.
Splicing is performed with conventional cassettes.
Patching function is effected on panels which can be pre-equipped.
In order to be universal
Module design, based on an optimized modularity, enables it to cope with any type of cabling configuration:
- Inter-frame patching,
- Inter-connection,
- Cross-connection,
- OEM applications.
Cables enter at the rear of the rack (10-19 mm range).
Cables are attached directly to the module.
The design of those modules makes it possible to use main of the various existing cable structures, tube structure, singlemode or multimode fibres, etc ...).
The module is made up of the following :
- a fixed part which is attached to the front of the frame,
- a right (or left) swivelling support for mounting splicing cassettes or/and patching panel, or/and articulated coiling plate.
- the same basic components (mainly the 1U chassis),
- fast clamp system,
- compatibility with the various formats on the market, e.g. 19", ETSI.
