Patch-/Splice Shelf FACT

FACT OPTICAL DISTRIBUTION FRAME SYSTEM

Fiber Connectivity for Splice/ Patch and Patch/Patch

For almost 30 years, TE Connectivity has led the industry with solutions such as FIST fiber management system, providing a system of fiber management from the central office through the customer premises.

Now, TE continues that leadership with the introduction of the FACT ODF system, enabling faster and easier installation in a high density environment. The toolless system approach and the high level of modularity guarantee an easy migration path towards new connectivity platforms and expansion of existing central office sites.

FACT modules support full patch and/or splice-patch functions within a rack environment.

Trays within the element can be configured with adapters, splicing and passive optical components. Trays are staggered for easy fiber routing and access to connectors.

Currently available, the FACT standard version integrates into a current partially or
non-equipped FIST-GR2/3 frame or lineup.
