Computer room odf fiber optic distribution frame

Updated on Sun Aug 24 2025

The odf optical fiber distribution frame in the computer room is an important supporting equipment in the optical transmission system. It is used for the termination and distribution of the trunk optical cable at the central office in the optical fiber communication system. However, how do we make good use of the type of optical fiber distribution frame? The research problem and practical application will make us have a deeper understanding of the odf optical fiber distribution frame in the computer room. Let's take a detailed look at it below.


Optical fiber distribution frame can be divided into wall-mounted and rack-mounted according to different structures. The wall-mounted optical fiber distribution frame can be directly fixed on the wall. It is generally a box structure and is suitable for places where the number of optical cables and the number of optical fiber cores are small. The rack-mounted fiber optic distribution frame can be directly installed in the standard cabinet and is suitable for larger-scale fiber optic networks.


The rack-mounted patch panel is divided into two types, one is the patch panel with fixed configuration, and the optical fiber coupler is directly fixed on the chassis; The corresponding modules are convenient for network adjustment and expansion.

The role of fiber optic distribution frame

The function of the optical fiber distribution frame is for the optical fiber fusion splicing of the optical cable terminal, the installation of the optical connector, the adjustment of the optical path, the storage of the redundant pigtail and the protection of the optical cable, etc., which can easily realize the connection, distribution and scheduling of the optical fiber line.


Optical fiber distribution frame plays an important role in the safe operation and flexible use of optical fiber communication network. The specific functions of the optical fiber distribution frame are as follows:

①After the fixed-function optical cable enters the rack, the outer sheath and reinforcing core shall be mechanically fixed, the ground wire protection components shall be installed, the end protection shall be performed, and the optical fibers shall be grouped and protected.


②Accommodating connection function, after the optical fiber drawn out of the optical cable is spliced ​​with the pigtail cable, the redundant optical fiber is coiled and stored, and the fusion joint is protected.


③Adjustment function Plug the connector attached on the pigtail cable to the adapter, and realize the optical path docking with the optical connector on the other side of the adapter. Adapters and connectors should be able to be plugged and unplugged flexibly; optical paths can be freely deployed and tested.


④ The storage function provides storage for various cross-connected optical cables between racks, so that they can be placed regularly and neatly. There should be appropriate space and method in the distribution frame, so that this part of the optical connecting line is clearly routed, easy to adjust, and can meet the requirements of the minimum bending radius.


The role of the optical fiber distribution frame is very important, but with the increasing degree of network integration, in the construction of the new optical fiber network, all localities try to use large-core optical cables, which will affect the capacity and function of the optical fiber distribution frame. and structure, etc. put forward higher requirements, and there is an optical-digital hybrid distribution frame integrating ODF, DDF, and power distribution units, which is suitable for small and medium-sized fiber-to-cell, fiber-to-building, remote module offices and wireless base stations. wiring system.
