Introduction


ADC — The Connectivity Foundation for Networks in Transition

Establishing a solid network foundation rooted in connectivity has already proven successful as networks
transitioned from analog to digital and from copper to fiber, and as service providers joined networks
together through collocation and consolidation. As service providers approach the convergence of voice,
data and video with IP-based services, a foundation of connectivity remains just as essential.
Moving to new and more complex network models with a connectivity foundation in place delivers
multiple, proven benefits:
• Minimize operational costs. The capital allocated to purchase new electronics, software and
connectivity pales in comparison to the multi-year, ongoing cost of labor to manage and maintain
the network. With a connectivity foundation, labor costs for everything from initial installation, to
provisioning, to upgrades and reconfigurations, to maintenance is reduced. Minimizing operational
costs contributes to the bottom line just as strongly as new revenue sources.
• Increase network reliability. More and more, 99.99% availability pertains to more than just voice
services. With ILECs, MSOs, wireless service providers and others vying for the same customers, quality
of service measures and service level agreements will soon pertain to voice, data and video services.
Connectivity delivers reliability by providing termination, test access, and cable management strategies
that ensure maximum service availability.
• Maximize revenue. The competition is positioning to earn new revenues from broadband services and
take away annuity business from others in the marketplace. A solid connectivity foundation speeds
service provisioning while, at the same time, lowers the cost of provisioning. With faster turn-up of
services—and associated acceleration of revenue—service providers wield an attractive weapon in
competing for customers.
ADC is the market leader in the deployment of connectivity solutions for copper, fiber and wireless
networks around the world. With hundreds of millions of ports in service worldwide, over 600 patents,
and connectivity solutions that touch the majority of worldwide voice, video, and data communications
traffic, ADC has the products, services, and experience to make the inevitable work of network transitions
cost effective and profitable for service providers.

The reality of today’s marketplace dictates that service provider networks change to remain competitive.
New modulation techniques. Faster metro optical fiber rings. Voice, high-speed data and multimedia
services deployed closer than ever to the edge of the network. These changes are largely upgrades and
reconfigurations designed to improve reliability, availability, accuracy and breadth of services.

Fiber Termination Blocks (FTB)
Fiber Termination Blocks (FTBs) are available with SC, FC, ST® and E-2000 adapters in block configurations
of 48, 72 or 96 positions. Also, 144 position FTBs are available using LX.5® and LC adapters. FTBs utilize
sliding adapter packs to gain easy access to both the front and rear connectors. There is also a block
configuration available to accommodate Mini Value-Added Modules (Mini VAMs) for applications requiring
splitters or WDMs. FTBs can be ordered with or without IFC or outside plant cable.

Fiber Combination Blocks Blocks (FCB)
Fiber Combination Blocks (FCBs) provide termination and on-frame splicing capabilities, all in one block.
The block occupies two mounting positions on the frame section. They are available with SC, FC, ST® and

Next Generation Frame 600 mm Products
Fiber Main Distributing Frame (FMDF)

The FMDF is the cornerstone of the NGF product line. This innovative frame has six rear horizontal troughs.
This abundant trough space minimizes fiber pile up and congestion leading to easier jumper traceability and
removal. The frame has twelve Fiber Termination Block (FTB) mounting positions equally divided between
vertical columns on the left and right sides of the frame as shown in the figure below. The frame is 600 mm
wide x 600 mm deep. The built-in jumper storage panel will store up to 5 meters of jumper slack.

Fiber Termination Blocks (FTB) Unterminated

600 mm Products

FTBs without fiber can be ordered fully loaded with adapters or empty (no adapters), in which case the
adapter packs for the block must be ordered separately (see page 12). Before ordering, determine the block
orientation and cable exit direction. Unterminated FTBs may be ordered with a “left” orientation (mounts on
the left side of the frame) or a “right” orientation (mounts on the right side of the frame). The cable exit
direction will be either “upward” (cables terminated to the rear side of the block exit up toward the top of
the frame) or “downward” (cables terminated to the rear side of the block exit down toward the bottom of
the frame). All blocks with adapters only are configured to terminate single or dual jumpers on the rear of
the block. If a multifiber breakout style cable (i.e., OSP/IFC) is to be terminated to the rear of the block, a
separate clamping kit is required (see page 7).

Fiber Termination Blocks (FTB) Preterminated

600 mm Products

Preterminated FTBs are available with either indoor or outdoor rated cable in ribbon or stranded
configurations. All blocks are 100% factory tested to guarantee continuity and reliable connections.
Preterminated FTBs make installation quick and easy, reducing labor costs. Before ordering, determine
the block orientation and cable exit direction. Preterminated FTBs may be ordered with a “left”
orientation (mounts on the left side of the frame) or a “right” orientation (mounts on the right side of
the frame). The cable exit direction will be either “upward” (cables terminated to the rear side of the
block exit up toward the top of the frame) or “downward” (cables terminated to the rear side of the
block exit down toward the bottom of the frame).

Fiber Combination Blocks provide a place to terminate pigtails and splice IFC/OSP cables on the frame. The
blocks are available with several different adapter types in block configurations of 48-, 72-, or 96-positions.
Also, a 144-position FCB is available using an LX.5® or LC adapter. The termination portion of the fiber
combination block utilizes sliding adapter packs to gain easy access to connectors on both the front and
rear side of the block. The block is available with factory-installed pigtails for easy installation. Splice trays
are shipped with the block if ordered with pigtails; otherwise trays must be ordered separately. The block is
shipped with a cable clamp for OSP/IFC. The FCB occupies two mounting positions on a frame section.
Before ordering, determine the block orientation. FCBs may be ordered with a “left” orientation (mounts
on the left side of the frame) or a “right” orientation (mounts on the right side of the frame).

OMX™ Optical Distribution Frame
Introduction

ADC has developed the OMX™ optical distribution frame to meet these demands. Designed with total front
access, the OMX can be installed back-to-back or against a wall to save valuable office floor space. This
high-density frame terminates and splices up to 576 fibers in a 600 mm x 300 mm footprint and 864 in a
800 mm x 300 mm footprint. The OMX fiber frame protects fiber cable and connections through use of
ADC’s 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 your fiber network by providing nonintrusive access
to the optical signal for monitoring and testing signal integrity.

600 mm Products

Growth in the telecommunications industry has driven widespread deployment of optical fiber. 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. Also, office floor space is at a premium. Saving floor space by
increasing the optical distribution frame density can provide significant cost-savings to the service provider.
At the same time, service providers require a flexible optical distribution frame, which enables them to
quickly respond to the changing needs of their customers. These key factors have driven the increased
demand for a high-density, modular, front access optical distribution frame.

OMX™ Optical Distribution Frame
The OMX’s modular design provides flexibility to meet the specific needs of the service provider. Each
solution will be a combination of the following parts.

OMX Frame

OMX Termination Module
The OMX termination modules are available with 72,
96, or 144 adapters. These modules can be ordered
with adapters only or preterminated with either
intrafacility fiber cable (IFC), outside plant (OSP)
cables, or pigtails for ease of installation. The
modules are available with SC, FC, ST®, E-2000® and
LX.5® connector/adapter styles.

OMX Splice Module
The OMX splice module provides protection and a
mounting location for ADC’s round splice trays.

Each splice module is two mounting positions tall
and holds 24 splice trays. Each splice tray can
house up to 24 splices.

10/03

•

100571

600 mm Products

The OMX frame is 600 mm x 300 mm and has ten mounting positions for the termination, splice and
jumper storage modules. The OMX 800 frame is 800 mm x 300 mm and also has ten mounting positions
for the termination, splice and jumper storage modules.

OMX Slack Storage Solutions
The OMX jumper storage module enables storage of
fiber-optic jumper slack within an OMX frame. Each
jumper storage module is one module position tall.
The Interbay Management Panel provides off-frame
storage of jumper slack. ADC recommends the use of
2 mm patch cords to maximize the cable
management potential of the OMX.
