Indoor Fiber Distribution Terminals - CPE

Spec Sheet

Product Description

The ADC Indoor Fiber Distribution Terminal (IFDT) series provides Customer Premises Equipment applications with a compact and secure family of enclosures for connecting fiber cables within building entrance locations, communication closets, computer rooms and other indoor environments. The IFDT products utilize a rugged double-hinged design that effectively isolates the splicing and cable termination in the rear compartment from the jumper interconnection in the front compartment. Separating the cable splicing and termination function from the interconnection function allows the unit to be used as a dual-access product with secure lockable access provided for each compartment.

The layered IFDT and staggered interconnection field provides ease of access to all connections. The IFDT enclosure provides mounting positions for standard APLH modular adapter panels (12-packs, 8-packs, 6-packs, etc.) accommodating any industry standard adapters.

Sizes

The IFDT products are designed to splice and terminate fibers in a range of sizes including 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 fibers.

Mounting Applications

The ADC IFDT Series cabinets are for indoor wall mount applications and are designed to NEMA-12 rating. The dual hinged design allows complete front and rear access. The two secure doors are locked with a standard can wrench tool and may optionally be secured with a standard pad-lock. The unit may also be configured for single lock entry thus allowing the products to be used for single access applications.

Indoor Fiber Distribution Terminals specifications

ADC Indoor Fiber Distribution Terminals (IDFT) are vital components in modern telecommunications networks, providing efficient and reliable distribution of fiber optic connections within buildings. These terminals are designed to facilitate the organization, management, and protection of fiber optic cables as they transition from the exterior utility feed to the interior wiring system.

One of the main features of ADC IDFT is their compact and modular design, which allows for easy installation in limited spaces, such as telecom closets, network rooms, or data centers. This space-saving attribute makes them ideal for urban environments where real estate is at a premium. The modularity also enables easy scalability, accommodating the growing needs of networks without requiring extensive rewiring.

ADC IDFTs support advanced technologies such as Single-Mode and Multi-Mode fiber optics, making them versatile for various applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Single-Mode fibers are ideal for long-distance communications, while Multi-Mode fibers are suitable for shorter distances and high-bandwidth applications. This flexibility allows organizations to customize their fiber distribution according to specific needs and budget constraints.

Another notable characteristic of ADC Indoor Fiber Distribution Terminals is their robust construction. These terminals are built to withstand environmental pressures, ensuring that the delicate fiber optic cables remain protected from physical damage and thermal fluctuations. Many models come equipped with features like integrated splice trays, cable management systems, and bend radius control, which are crucial to maintaining the integrity of fiber connections.

In addition to physical protection, ADC IDFTs often incorporate advanced connectivity options such as LC, SC, and MPO adapter plates. This flexibility in connector types facilitates seamless integration with existing network infrastructure, allowing for quick and efficient transitions during upgrades or changes.

Furthermore, ADC Indoor Fiber Distribution Terminals are designed with user-friendly access points, enabling easy updates and maintenance. This reduces downtime and enhances overall reliability. With features that support enhanced airflow and cooling systems, these terminals contribute to improved network performance.

In summary, ADC Indoor Fiber Distribution Terminals are indispensable for the effective management of fiber optic networks within indoor environments. Their compact design, versatility in supporting different fiber types, robust protection features, and ease of access make them a preferred choice for telecommunications professionals aiming to optimize their fiber distribution strategies.
