A patch panel ODF (Optical Distribution Frame) with 24 cores SC/APC (Subscriber Connector/Angled Physical Contact) in an unloaded state means that it is a housing unit capable of accommodating up to 24 fiber optic cores terminated with SC/APC connectors, but it does not come pre-loaded with these connectors. Here's an overview of its features:
Core Capacity: The patch panel ODF can support up to 24 fiber optic cores, allowing for the termination of multiple optical fibers for connectivity in a network.
Connector Type: The connectors used in this ODF are SC/APC connectors. SC connectors are commonly used for their ease of use and reliable performance, while APC connectors feature an angled ferrule end face for reduced back reflection, making them suitable for high-performance applications.
Unloaded State: The patch panel ODF is "unloaded," meaning that it does not come pre-installed or pre-loaded with SC/APC connectors. Instead, it provides the housing and infrastructure necessary for installing these connectors as needed.
Modular Design: The ODF features a modular design with removable adapter plates or cassettes, allowing for easy installation, maintenance, and expansion of the fiber optic network. This design enables flexibility in configuring the ODF according to specific network requirements.
Mounting Options: The ODF may include options for rack mounting, typically fitting into standard 19-inch equipment racks commonly used in data centers, telecommunications facilities, and equipment rooms.
Accessibility: It is designed for easy access to the interior for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting purposes. Some enclosures feature hinged doors, slide-out trays, or removable covers for convenient access to the fiber termination area.
Fiber Management: The ODF includes features for proper fiber management, such as splice trays, cable routing guides, and strain relief, facilitating organized and efficient fiber routing and splicing.
Compatibility: The patch panel ODF is compatible with various types of fiber optic cables, connectors, and splicing methods, ensuring flexibility and compatibility with different network configurations.
