Route Fiber Throughout Manufacturing Facility Type of Customer: Large telecommunications manufacturer. This company recently built a new facility to house its engineering group as well as its diverse manufacturing operation. The Existing Network: • Facility uses over 50,000 linear feet of fiber to carry vital information between its distribution and manufacturing center. • Such information - including equipment drawings, inventory totals, scheduling plans and billing documents - is critical to all areas of the manufacturing center. • Facility was built with its employees in mind - the center is open, bright and clean | case study Type of Customer Large telecommunications manufacturer. This company recently built a new facility to house its engineering group as well as its diverse manufacturing operation. The Existing Network Facility uses over 50 000 linear feet of fiber to carry vital information between its distribution and manufacturing center. Such information - including equipment drawings inventory totals scheduling plans and billing documents - is critical to all areas of the manufacturing center. Facility was built with its employees in mind - the center is open bright and clean. Requirements Due to the facility s large size - over 284 000 square feet - the method of transporting its fiber must be efficient and timely. Fibers must be protected from damage and remain free of dirt and debris. Method of transporting fiber must be easily adaptable to the varied environments of the manufacturing center. It will need to be installed around such obstacles as heating and cooling pipes and extremely large pieces of machinery. Product must not take away from the facility s attractive appearance. ADC Solution ADC s FiberGuide system - a trough system designed to direct and protect fiber as it is routed from one location to another - was used throughout the manufacturing center. This system has been used successfully in countless central offices but never before in a manufacturing environment. The success of this latest application is a testament to the ADC FiberGuide system s versatility and ease of use. ADC s FiberGuide system successfully managed fiber throughout the customer s manufacturing center Fibers were carried efficiently throughout the facility on 5200 linear feet of ADC s FiberGuide system. The FiberGuide system s sturdy design kept fibers protected and clean. The variations in the size of the FiberGuide system s troughs and mounting brackets made it adaptable to all of the manufacturing center s varied environments. Having the fibers routed through ADC s FiberGuide .
