PANDUIT FM5PPBLF4.0-12 FlexCore Optical Distribution Frame User Guide
FlexCore™ at a Glance
Every connection counts
With the use of cutting-edge technologies in a number of environments, network dependency has transitioned from the era of ‘mission’ to ‘life’ critical from access points back to the data center. Simultaneously, high speed data transport accelerated from 1G to 400G and is expected to quadruple in the near future.
What is at your core?
Optical distribution frames (ODF’s) are an all-important network element at the heart of this fiber network.
Representing <5% of a typical IT project investment, high density, performance, and quality are pivotal attributes for an ODF ensuring business continuity 24/7/365.
Panduit FlexCore™ Optical Distribution Frame solution offers the ultimate in flexibility, manageability, scalability and security.
- Highly intuitive cable routing paths remove guess work and prevent ‘rip and replace’ costs
- Innovative cable management and lockable vertical cable manager door eliminates circuit risk and downtime
- Data center floor space can be reduced by 50%†
- Moves, adds, and changes up to 30% faster
- Multiple form factor (width) cassettes optimize rack space across wider applications
- Patch cords consolidated to a single length – freeing up capital locked in maintaining inventory
- Multi-layer security with lock capability available at both 4RU enclosure and ODF doors
Total front access cabling principles and modular building blocks of 150mm, 300mm and 600mm (width of frame units) that delivers scalability with outstanding system flexibility
