CANFORD ST FIBRE TERMINATION RACKCASE - Broadcast style, Senko fiber couplers

A range of broadcast-style, fibre termination patch-panels with integral rear case for fibre management. Panels are supplied fully-populated with industry-approved Senko 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 ST 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 with a 200mm deep rear case permanently mounted to the front panel. It has a removable top-plate, giving access to the fibre management area and the rear of the couplers. The rack case must be removed from the rack to gain access to the top panel. Two cable glands to accommodate 6-12mm diameter bulk fibre are mounted on the rear panel.

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 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.
