Among the various fiber counts available with ribbon optical cable, the 12-fiber ribbons are the most commonly and widely used ones. 12-fiber ribbon optical cable can be easily terminated with both simplex and duplex connectors like LC and SC connectors, or with the MTP/MPO connectors. MTP/MPO connector is a high-density 12-fiber push/pull optical connector, which is used to minimize errors, reduce congestion in patch panels and speed network cabling process. The MTP/MPO connector is commonly pre-terminated, either in pigtail form that spliced onto a 12-fiber ribbon, or as an MTP/MPO connector backbone cabling which is terminated on each end.
In the task of fiber cable managements, you may think it easy and just manage some fiber patch cables or install a grommet. But you have to know that the fiber cables can face the danger from intense heat or cold, external impact or ribbing animals and other uncertainty factors. This time you may need wire looms.
INTRODUCTION OF WIRE LOOM
Wire loom is also called corrugated tubing, wire conduit, split loom, convoluted loom, ribbed tubing, and flexible tubing. Wire looms are perfect for organizing cables and managing cords into color-coded bundles that will help keep your electronic equipments in order and prevents equipment failure or fire hazards, they are used in wide-range applications such as electrical wiring in trucks, cars, boats, as well as for use in home entertainment centers, video games, and home and office PC’s.
(ODF) is used for wiring connections between fiber optic cables and optical communication devices or among the communication devices. It is an important corollary equipment in optical transmission system, mainly used for fiber optic terminal splicing, fiber optic connector installation, optical path adjusting, excess pigtail storage and fiber optic cable protection, etc..
ODF has an important role for the safe operation and flexible use of fiber optic communications networks. With the increasingly high degree of network integration, there has been optical digital mixed distribution frames which integrate ODF, DDF, and power distribution unit in one set. They are used for wiring systems in fiber to the cell, fiber to the building, the remote module office and small wireless base station.
In the past optical communication construction, fiber optic cable is usually several to tens of cores, and the capacity of ODF is generally below one hundred, which shows too small capacity of pigtail storage, inconvenience of connection maneuver, less functional, simple structure and other shortcomings.
