The Centrix™ platform is a high–density fiber manage-
ment system that provides a balance of industry–leading
density with innovative jumper routing. The system can
be deployed in multiple applications including: central of-
fice, headend, FTTx, FTTCS and data center.
Centrix platform supports up to 4,320 LC or 2,880 SC
connector ports per standard 7–ft frame/2200 mm. The
frame design provides optimized routing paths for jum-
pers, reducing the risk of pileup or entanglement. A single
jumper length for an in–frame, cross–connect network
design reduces jumper inventory.
At the foundation of the Centrix platform is a single, mo-
dular cassette that can be tailored to include a variety of
optical devices (splitter, WDM, etc). The modular cas-
sette provides flexibility and functionality within a single
frame without sacrificing density. Each cassette contains
up to either 24 SC or 36 LC connector adapters. Easy
port access is possible due to a sliding cassette with
drop–down handle. A 1RU housing will hold 3 cassettes,
a 2RU housing will hold 6 cassettes and a 4RU will hold
12 cassettes. Housings can be ordered empty, loaded wi-
th cassettes for on-frame splicing or as stubbed assem-
blies to reduce installation time and risk.
The Centrix platform is available with both rear or front
cable access. Front cable access allows back–to–back
frame configurations or mounting against a wall. Both
frame configurations save space through increased port
density.
