Application
The FxDS Frame Kit is a fully contained ber management system for the inside
plant. The seven foot seismic frame is provided along with full length front and rear
doors that provide protection for termination elds, incoming distribution cables and
interbay routed jumpers. When used in conjunction with the FxDS panels, ultimate
density and protection is offered at “grow-as-you-go” cost.
Description
The FieldSmart Fiber Crossover Distribution System (FxDS) provides a system of
modular and scalable building blocks to congure a frame system that delivers
industry-leading scalability and ber protection without jeopardizing density or
increasing cost.
The FxDS system easily congures for panel placement and scales simply from 12
ports to a full rack of 1,728 ports as needed. The FieldSmart FxDS requires only
four unique building blocks (SKUs) to congure initial deployment. The user then
adds into the frame whatever is needed as subscriber take rates dictate. The FxDS Frame Kit is an industry standard
7’ x 19” seismic frame that is easily assembled with a set of vertical interbay slack management panels, upper and lower
crossover troughs and a set of removable doors.
SmartRoute Troughing builds upon the cable management functionality with a sleek method of providing a continuous
channel for bay-to-bay routing in a safe and efcient manner without increasing jumper lengths. SmartRoute Troughing
allows the service provider to carry the distance and weight of thousands of jumpers on a horizontal plane. This spreads
the pile up and eliminates the risk of micro and macro bends. When used across multiple frames, up to three continuous
channels are created allowing bay-to-any-bay routing in a safe and efcient manner. Front route troughs are available when
the frame is deployed with a PON Kit or for environments where interbay routes are not anticipated.
