A range of broadcast-style, fibre termination patch-panels supplied fully-populated with industry-approved ST fibre through-couplers. They feature zirconia (SM) or phosphor bronze (MM) ferrules and tight-tolerance housings to ensure exceptionally accurate connector alignment and fibre face-contact, resulting in lower loss and greater reliability than commercial-grade types.
A single or double row of 16, 20 or 24 multi-mode or single-mode couplers is standard; mixed layouts (LC, SC, ST), mixed modes and other connector counts are available to special order.
The simple, rugged, panel design features a rigid aluminium extrusion and a cranked lacing-bar giving support to rear patchcords or bulk fibres and giving easy access to the rear sockets. Where splice support is required a Canford Fibre Termination Rackcase should be used, see Canford ST Fibre Termination Rackcase - Broadcast Style, Fiber Couplers.
A designation-strip holder with snap-on cover is fitted above each coupler row and permits paper strips to be inserted before or after installation; 7.5mm of printable height is available. Templates for printing designation strip labels, available as a DWG file for AutoCAD and compatible applications, can be downloaded from the appropriate product page on the Canford website.
Available finished in Dawn Grey (BS4800-10A03), Dark Grey or Black. Spare 432mm designation-strip paper (not suitable for printers) and covers are available, see CANFORD DESIGNATION STRIPS - Snap-on.
Insulated connectors may be supplied to special order.
Recess rack-mounting brackets are available to recess panels within the rack, see Canford Rackbracket - Recess mounting brackets.
