Nexans XPLORER Optical Distribution Frames (ODF) modules

The Nexans XPLORER Optical Distribution Frames (ODF) modules are compatible with all standard types of frames or cabinets (19″, ETSI, with front or rear fixations).

They provide flexibility and durability to passive optical networks on points of presence where they are deployed. They have been designed on the concepts of symmetry, simplicity, lightness, modularity and robustness.

The XPLORER ODF swivelling modules are reversible. Whether the user needs a right-axis or a left-axis module, all parts remain the same and the side of the fixation can be delayed to the last minutes at the installation phase. They reduce the complexity of the management of ODF passive equipment.

The modules have an improved fibre routing with management of fibres over-length, bending radius and splicing configuration designed to facilitate an intuitive cabling and a constant protection of the fibres. They use materials that reduce the weight by 50%. The separation of the fixed chassis and the swivelling part increases this feeling of lightness. They are adaptable to better fit the needs of each point of presence and can also be reconfigured on-site to comply with all network specificities.

Tested in compliance with IEC 61300-2 for G environments from IEC 61753-1 (-40°C/+75°C), materials were chosen to ensure resistance to chemicals (hydrocarbons and oils), fungi and corrosion, making the modules particularly suitable for large fibre deployments.
