In the backbone or to the desk, optical networks achieve peak performance with ADC's fiber connectors, patch cords, raceways, and panels featuring integrated cable management and bend radius protection. Proper cable management practices make fiber networks less susceptible to accidental damage, quicker to install, less expensive to own and operate over the long haul and easier to expand as needs grow. To assure optimal network performance, ADC's fiber solutions fully incorporate key cable management concepts: • Bend radius protection: Micro- or macro-bends in fiber cable increase the risk of fiber breakage and added attenuation, which in turn affect the long-term reliability of the network and increase the cost of. | TrueNet Structured Cabling Fiber Connectivity Solutions FL2000 Preconfigured Empty Connector Mounting FPL Series Fiber 1 Rack Unit Preconfigured High Density Fiber Management RMG Series Fiber Preconfigured Empty Modular Adapter Modular MTP MPO WMG Series Wall Mount Wall Mount Fiber Modular Adapter Fiber Optic Fiber Optic Patch Fiber Optic Fiber Connectivity Solutions 1-952-938-8080 1-800-366-3891 229 Fiber Connectivity Solutions Introduction CD Fiber Connectivity Solutions CD U @ CD CD Fundamentals of Fiber Cable Management In the backbone or to the desk optical networks achieve peak performance with ADC s fiber connectors patch cords raceways and panels featuring integrated cable management and bend radius protection.

Adequate cable troughing with clear routing paths Cable troughing should keep fiber runs separate from heavier copper cables. Routing paths through the cable troughs should be clearly defined and easy to follow making access to individual fibers easier quicker and safer reducing the time required for reconfiguration. Easy accessibility to installed fibers Access to installed fibers should ensure that any fiber can be installed or removed .
