NS-MODF-1U/2U 48F ODF

Step 1: ODF Unit Installation. Fix ODF unit on the rack with screws.

Step 2：Loosen the ODF unit front panel screws. Remove the ODF unit cover. Pull out the sliding drawer from the ODF unit, and open the splice tray.  

Step 3： Insert the loose tube fibers from the cable entrance hole on the right side. Route the loose tube fibers like the picture shown below. Fix the loose tube beside the entrance hole, on the back of ODF module and at the point before entering the splice tray.  

Step 4： Lead the loose tube fibers and pigtails into splice tray from two sides. Fix them at the entrance of the splice tray with cable ties. Strip the fibers and fusion splice fiber with pigtail. Put the splicing protection sleeve into the slots after splicing. Store the extra fibers in the splice tray.  

Step 5：Test the fibers by VFL. After testing, sort the optical fiber cable, and connect the patch cords. Make record on the labels.  Step 6： Push back the sliding drawer and tighten the ODF unit panel screws.

A patch panel performs function for acting as a connector, it does offer a range of benefits:

Use Standard Fiber Optic Cords

Since patch panel uses fiber optic cable to create interconnection, network designers can make changes and repairs without the delays and added expense associated with custom cabling.

Flexibility and Scalability

The network can grow and change on-demand, without the costly, labor-intensive hassle of replacing channels end-to-end.

Reduce Cable Congestion

Reduced cable slack means less clutter, less confusion and an easily organized, better-labeled cabling infrastructure. You can also manage cables in any direction–horizontal or vertical, front or back.

Space Saving

By managing varying port densities and speeds in a single high-density patch panel, you save valuable rack space, helping to lower data center costs. A single patch panel can manage as many as (168) 10 Gb ports.

Cost-Effectiveness

High-density and easy maintenance provide a low initial investment cost. With a patch panel, you can only buy the devices you need now, while leaving room for future expansion.

Ease of maintenance

The advantage of using a patch panel is that it allows manual monitoring, testing, switching, routing, and other maintenance to be handled quickly because the cables in the front that connect to the more permanent cables in the back are configured and made so that changes can be made quickly and easily when needed.
