Product Description

General Description
The Flex Frame Splice Cabinet is a compact splice enclosure that provides a splicing interface
between “panel stubs” and facility cables.
In a Flex Frame application, panel stubs originate in the Flex Frame in pre-terminated Enhanced
High Density (EHD) or Compact High Density (CHD) panels. Panel stubs are covered with mesh
tubing rather than a sheath, and contain rollable ribbons, each with 12 fibers.
Facility cables are high-fiber-count cables, likewise containing rollable ribbons, and of a type
suitable for being routed indoors or outdoors as required.
The Flex Frame Splice Cabinet is also available in a stand alone kit with wall mounting brackets,
providing the option of mounting the cabinet on a wall. In this case, the cabinet can be used with
other types of panels and cables if they are comparable in function and structure to those used in
a Flex Frame application. Cables from non-Flex-Frame panels (called “right-entry cables” in this
user manual) may need to broken out per the instructions and breakout diagram provided in
.
The splice cabinet accommodates up to 24 splice trays, each with a capacity of up to 288 rollable
ribbon, mass fusion splices, for a total of 6912 splices. In a Flex Frame application, the capacity
is 5184 splices (for panels with LC connectors).
