OMX (Optical Distribution Frame)

OMX (Optical Distribution Frame)

As the number of installed fibers grows, the capability of a service provider’s optical distribution frame to handle large amounts of fiber becomes crucial.

Often, too, office floor space is at a premium and saving floor space by increasing the optical distribution frame density can provide significant cost-savings.

At the same time, service providers require a flexible optical distribution frame that enables them to quickly respond to the changing needs of their customers.

Working closely with service providers, TE Connectivity has developed the OMX optical distribution frame to address these key requirements.

Designed with total front access, the OMX can be installed back-to-back or against a wall to save valuable office floor space.

This highdensity frame terminates and splices up to 576 fibers in a 600mm x 300mm (ETSI) footprint and 864 fibers in a 800mm x 300mm footprint.

The OMX fiber frame protects fiber cable and connections through use of the patented angled adapter/retainers and design features that maintain correct bend radius throughout the frame.

Adding signal management and enhancement functions, such as splitters, couplers and wavelength division multiplexers, optimizes the value of the fiber network by providing nonintrusive access to the optical signal for monitoring and testing signal integrity.
