1U/2U 990-Series Customer Termination Panels

The 1U and 2U 990-series of Customer Termination panels were designed with fibre cable management, protection and ease of installation and expansion as the key features. With the superior retractable sliding trays, access to the splice management area is straightforward and safe. The unit is easily field-expandable using expansion kits.

External cables are routed from the rear centre on the right side and secured in the cable clamp, ensuring that the minimum bend radius requirements are met, even where there is limited space at the back of the cabinet. A transportation tube protects the incoming fibres, ensuring safe, snag-free opening of the tray for splicing or expansion.

Bulkhead panels are angled to aid eye-safety and cable management, and a drop-down patchcord-management tray is available as an option. Most connector interfaces are available, and the unit can be supplied with 19” or optional ETSI mounting ears.

1U 2731-series Optical Distribution Panels

The 2731 Panel was designed as a lower-depth alternative to the 990-series panel, allowing back to back placement of panels in a 600mm deep rack, while adhering to a similar design philosophy. In addition, this unit incorporates a cable clamp arrangement that allows incoming cables to be routed to either side. The 2731 series also includes a matching storage panel.
