Optical Normal Through Panel

Chassis Open

ADC’s Optical Normal Through Panel is the latest addition to its Pro Patch line of broadcast patching products. This fiber panel is designed to provide patch by exception, normal through functionality, similar to copper-based patch panels. Traditional fiber patch panels require a fiber jumper to be in place at all times. With this newly designed panel, however, all fiber “Source” and “Destination” connections are on the rear of the panel, with a normal through connection between the “Source” and “Destination” ports. For greater convenience and reliability, patch and monitoring capabilities are accessed on the front of the panel.

Spec Sheet

Features

Two density options:

•The 3RU chassis houses 6 modules to provide 24 fiber terminations (12 pairs) using simplex connectors (SC, FC, ST).

•The 4RU chassis houses 6 modules to provide 48 fiber terminations (24 pairs) using small-form-factor connectors (LC).

Functionality:

•Each module contains pairs of “Source” and “Destination” fibers plus optional monitor ports and a switch for emergency patching.

•Accommodates 1310 and 1550 singlemode wavelengths (switch wavelength range is 1290-1330 and 1525-1610).

•Connector ports on front and rear may be SC, FC, ST or LC.

•IL through module is approximately 0.5 dB (final specifications TBD).

•Module port is configurable to 90/10, 95/5 or 99/1 split ratios.

Module specifications:

•Modules may be added to the chassis as needed.

•“Source” and “Destination” terminations may be made by either splicing raw cable to pigtails attached to the modules or by routing connectorized patch cords to the back of the modules.

•Manual switch on front of module to change to “Patched” operation.

•LED indicators for “Normal” and “Patched” operations.

•Modules are available with or without monitor ports on the front.

Chassis specification:

•19" EIA flush mounting

•Hot swappable power supply

to power switches inside modules

•110/220 IEC interface
