Products Description

Driven by requirements for high-speed data rate, the deployment of fiber optic has been growing. As the growth of installed fiber optic, the management of optical transmission networks becomes more difficult. Many factors should be considered during fiber optic cabling, like flexibility, future viability, cost of deployment and management, etc. To handle large amounts of fiber optic with lower cost and higher flexibility, various optical distribution frames (ODF) are being widely used to the connector and schedule optical fiber. Choosing right fiber optic distribution frames is the key to successful cable management.

ODF
 

 

An optical distribution frame (ODF) is a frame used to provide cable interconnections between communication facilities, which can integrate fiber splicing, fiber termination, fiber optic adapters & connectors and cable connections together in a single unit. It can also work as a protective device to protect fiber optic connections from damage. The basic functions of ODFs provided by today's vendors are almost the same. However, they come into different shapes and specifications. To choose the right ODF is not an easy thing.

 

Types of ODF

According to the structure, ODFs can mainly be divided into three types, namely wall mount ODF, floor mount ODF and rack mount ODF.

Wall mount ODF (shown in the following picture) usually uses a design like a small box which can be installed on the wall and is suitable for fiber distribution with small counts. Floor mount ODF adopts closed structure. It is usually designed with relatively fixed fiber capacity and nice appearance.

Rack mount ODF (shown in the following picture) is usually modularity in design with firm structure. It can be installed on the rack with more flexibility according to the fiber optic cable counts and specifications. This kind of optical distribution system is more convenient and can provide more possibilities to the future variations. Most of the rack mount ODF is 19'', which ensures that they can be perfectly installed on to the commonly used standard transmission rack.Rack Mount Distribution Frame

Key Features of an Optical Distribution Frame (ODF)
 

 

Integration:

ODFs combine multiple functionalities such as fiber splicing, termination, and cable connections into a single unit, promoting efficiency and ease of management.

01

Protection:

ODFs safeguard the delicate fiber optic connections against damage, contributing to the stability and reliability of the entire network.

02

Variety:

Available in different shapes, sizes, and specifications, ODFs cater to diverse requirements and infrastructural setups.

03

Cost-effective:

By serving multiple purposes within a single unit, ODFs eliminate the need for individual components, making it a cost-effective solution.

How to choose ODF?
 

 

The selection of the ODF is not limited to the structure, many factors like applications should be considered. Some of the most important are introduced as following.

Fiber Counts

With the number of fiber connections in places like data center increase, the need for high density ODF become the trend. And it is very common to find ODF with 24 ports, 48 ports or even 144 ports for fiber optic cables in the market now. Meanwhile, many vendors can provide the customized ODFs according to the customers' requirement.

Manageability

High-density is the good but management is not easy. ODF should provide an easy management environment for technicians. The basic requirement is ODF should allow for easy access to the connectors on the front and rear of those ports for insertion and removal. This requires that ODF should reserve enough space. In addition, the color of adapters installed on the ODF should be remain consistent with the color code of fiber optic connectors to avoid wrong connections.

Flexibility

As mentioned rack mount ODF is relatively flexible during applications with the modular design. However, anther aspect which can increase the ODF’s flexibility effectively is the port size for adapters on the ODF. For example, an ODF with ports of duplex LC adapter size can be installed with duplex LC, SC or MRTJ adapters. An ODF with ports of ST adapter size can be installed with both ST adapters and FC adapters.

Protection

Optical distribution frames integrate fiber connections in it. The fiber connections like splicing joint, fiber optic connectors are actually really sensitive in the whole transmission network and is directly related to the stability and reliability of the network. Thus, a good ODF should have protection device to prevent fiber optic connections from damages produced by dust or stress.

FAQ
 

 

Q: 1. What is the FTB,OTB,FDB,ODF?

A: FTB is Fiber termination box.kown as optical termination box(OTB),FDB or OTB is a compact fiber management product of small size. It is widely adopted in FTTx cabling for both fiber cabling and cable management.ODF is optical distribution frame.FDB is Fiber distributor box .Actually,they are similar thing,fiber termination box can be regarded as the mini size of fiber optic patch panel and ODF.even It will be no wrong if you consider they are same thing.
According to the design, FTB can be further divided into wall mount type and rack mount type.According to installation environment, there are indoor FTB and outdoor FTB.

Q: 2 What does an optical distribution frame do?

A: An optical distribution frame (ODF) is a frame used to provide cable interconnections between communication facilities, which can integrate fiber splicing, fiber termination, fiber optic adapters & connectors and cable connections together in a single unit.

Q: 3 What is the difference between optical distribution frame and patch panel?

A: In simple terms, fiber optic patch panel's function is to terminate the fiber optic cable and provide access to the cable's individual fibers for cross connection. A basic Optical Distribution Frame is typically made up of a metal frame that encloses the adapter panels, the connector coupler and a splice tray.

Q: 4 What is an ODF in telecom?

A: An optical distribution frame (ODF) is a frame used to provide cable interconnections between communication facilities, which can integrate fiber splicing, fiber termination, fiber optic adapters & connectors and cable connections together in a single unit.

Q: 5 What is a ODF rack?

A: The ODF is a purpose-made rack designed to accommodate high density Feeder Panels or Splitter Panels used in FTTH PON networks. The rack can be made as a stand-alone solution, or it can be made as a 'side-by-side' system with integrated cable management in the middle.

Q: 6 What is the difference between ONT and ONU?

A: ONU stands for Optical Network Unit. An ONT and an ONU are the same things. ONT and ONU both refer to the consumer end equipment in an optical fiber to the home (FTTH) communication link. But if you want to get technical, there is one difference and that is that ONT is an ITU-T term, whereas ONU is an IEEE term.

Q: 7 What are the advantages of main distribution frame?

A: An MDF can provide flexibility in assigning telecommunications facilities at a lower cost and higher capacity than a patch panel. The most common kind of MDF is a long steel rack that is accessible from both sides.

Q: 8 Is a patch panel a distribution frame?

A: 19″ fiber optic patch panel, also called as optical distribution frame(ODF), is made for Splicing and distribution of fiber optic cables, using fiber optic adapters. The box body is made of high quality cold rolled steel, electrostatic coating, the appearance is simple but beautiful, and the operation is convenient.

Q: 9 What are the two types of patch panel?

A: Patch panels come in fixed or modular form factors. A fixed patch panel has connectors that cannot be changed or altered. Modular patch panels can swap out the connector types, enabling increased flexibility when it comes to terminating different types of twisted-pair copper, fiber optic and coax cabling.

Q: 10 Should you use a patch panel for home network?

A: Patch panels are a great way to improve your network management by making it simple to organize your cables and connections. Patch panels even let you change cables and which devices are connected to what network at any one time.

Q: 11 What is the advantage of ODF?

A: ODF helps separate the document (information) from the application that created it. This document can then be processed by other applications seamlessly and with fidelity, without interference of any proprietary code or any other restrictions.
