Overview
This section provides information related to the fiber capacity restrictions of the
LambdaUnite
®
MSS system. The number of fibers can be extended by using the rack
extension (width) in combination with special fiber guides (see chapter 3).
NOTE:
It is highly recommended to use 1.6 mm fibers only because the use of 2 mm
fibers can rapidly be lead to space difficulties.
Fiber guides
Each fiber guide supports
per slot
:
•
16 fibers (2 mm) / 8 ports
or
•
32 fibers (1.6 mm) / 16 ports.
Side guides
Each
standard
side guide supports
per quadrant
:
•
64 fibers (2 mm) / 32 ports
or
•
128 fibers (1.6 mm) / 64 ports.
NOTE:
Special side guides which are part of the rack extension kits are required if
more than 128 fibers / 64 ports are available per quadrant.
