Frame
ADC’s 8-inch FCM solution utilizes a traditional frame designed to fit
a variety of termination, splice and storage applications. This rear load
frame is built to ensure commonality with patch cord routing, slack
storage and fiber protection. It is shipped complete with enhanced
front cable management, top and bottom troughs. Available accessories
include interbay management panels (IMPs), rear slack storage, etc.
Termination Panel
The termination panel is available with multiple adapter types using angled retainers in configurations of
72, 96, 144 and higher and can be ordered with adapters only or preterminated with either intrafacility
(IFC), outside plant (OSP) cables or pigtails for ease of installation.
Splice Panel
ADC’s splice panel protects splices of multiple splice types.
Storage Panel
The 8-inch FCM storage panel stores patch cords discreetly or in bulk.
Value-Added Module (VAM) Chassis
Adding signal management and enhancement functions, such as splitters, couplers and wavelength
division multiplexers, optimizes the value of your fiber network, by providing nonintrusive access to the
optical signal for monitoring and testing signal integrity. ADC’s 8-inch FCM VAM chassis accommodates
various splitter and WDM modules.
