Explore FS FHD Product Family

The FS FHD product family meets the rising demand for high-density fiber optic cabling in data centers and enterprises. It includes fiber enclosures, fiber optic panels, and MPO/MTP® fiber cassettes, offering flexibility and simplified MACs. This comprehensive system enables smooth migration to higher data speeds. Products of the FHD series include:

FHD Fiber Optic Enclosure for Superior Fiber Network Architecture

FS Fiber optic enclosures revolutionize fiber optic networks by organizing and protecting components while accommodating FHD fiber optic panels and MPO/MTP® cassettes for high-density connectivity. These enclosures are available in 1U, 2U, and 4U rack mount sizes, and a 2-door wall mount option, providing versatile solutions. The 1U fiber enclosure holds 4 fiber panels or cassettes, supporting up to 96 fibers, while the 2U and 4U fiber enclosures feature a fixed slide-out design, allowing for 8 and 12 fiber panels or cassettes respectively, enabling connectivity for up to 192 and 228 fibers each. For wall mount applications, the 2-door fiber enclosure offers flexibility with options for 2 or 4 fiber panels, ensuring efficient organization and protection.

Integral cable management and bend radius control are integral features of FHD fiber enclosures, seamlessly integrating with vertical cable managers. This optimization of cable routing minimizes signal loss from bends, enhancing network reliability and performance.

FHD MTP®/MPO Cassette for Breaking out Multi-fiber Cables

MTP®/MPO cassettes are extensively utilized for high-density cabling in data centers, offering a convenient solution. These pre-terminated and pre-tested enclosed units facilitate a secure transition between MTP®/MPO and LC/SC fiber connectors. Typically, the front side of the fiber cassette features LC/SC adapters, while the rear side houses MTP®/MPO adapters. Additionally, the cassette can break out MPO/MTP® connectors into separate SC/LC ports. Installation becomes quick and effortless with all fiber optic cabling internal to the cassette.

The FHD MTP®/MPO cassette comes in three types: FHD MTP®/MPO-24, FHD MTP®/MPO-12, and FHD MTP®/MPO-8, available in both single mode and multimode versions. These cassettes cater to diverse network requirements, offering flexibility and efficient connectivity.

FHD Fiber Optic Panel for Quick and Easy Connections

The FHD high-density fiber optic panel is specifically designed to manage connections in data centers, particularly for Moves, Adds, and Changes (MACs). These panels come in three adapter types, accommodating 6, 12, and 24 fibers respectively: FHD LC fiber panel, FHD SC fiber panel, and FHD MTP®/MPO fiber panel. Despite their compact size, these FHD fiber optic panels effectively enhance the bandwidth and connection density of your fiber optic cabling. They offer a space-efficient solution without compromising on performance or scalability.

FHD High-Density Fiber Cabling Solutions

FHD series product provides a comprehensive line of solutions for high-density fiber optic cabling.

Solution 1: Fiber Enclosure + MTP®/MPO Cassettes

The FHD MTP®/MPO cassettes are usually mounted in an FHD fiber enclosure, which provides the interface between the MTP® connector on the trunk and the LC duplex fiber jumpers for 10G to 40G or 25G to 100G applications.

Solution 2: Fiber Enclosure + Fiber Optic Panels

The versatile FHD fiber optic enclosure offers more than just compatibility with MPO/MTP® cassettes. It can also be equipped with FHD fiber optic panels, serving various purposes such as transitioning from backbone cabling to distribution switching, connecting with active equipment, or functioning as a cross-connect or interconnect in main or horizontal distribution areas. Additionally, the fiber optic panel can be mounted with a 1U horizontal cable manager panel or a blank fiber panel for efficient cable patching and management. This flexibility allows for adaptable and organized fiber optic installations to meet diverse networking needs.

Benefits of FHD High-Density Fiber Cabling Solutions

The following are some advantages of using high-density fiber cabling solutions.

Save Space

Traditional fiber cabling systems can be space-consuming, limiting the capacity of data centers and telecommunication rooms. High-density fiber cabling solutions are designed to maximize the utilization of available space. They allow you to accommodate a larger number of fiber optic cables, connectors, and termination points in a compact footprint. This is particularly beneficial in environments with limited rack space or crowded data centers.

Ease of Installation

As described above, the fiber cassette is a part of the patch panel. When installing the cassette, no tools are required in the panel enclosure. Using push-pull tabs, connections can easily be locked or unlocked in the panel. Each cassette features factory-terminated connectors that reduce the time and labor required for field connector terminations.

Simplified Cable Management

High-density solutions often incorporate features like cable management panels, trays, and routing systems, which help organize and route fiber cables efficiently. This makes it easier to manage and maintain the fiber infrastructure, reducing the risk of cable congestion, tangles, and accidental disconnections.

Conclusion

FS.com provides cutting-edge FHD high-density fiber optic cabling solutions that deliver exceptional performance and reliability, specifically designed for installations with limited space. Our comprehensive solution includes high-density fiber enclosures combined with either fiber optic panels or pre-terminated fiber cassettes, offering a complete fiber cross-connect/interconnect patching solution. These solutions are ideal for applications that demand maximum density. To learn more about our FHD fiber cabling solutions, please visit our website at www.fs.com.
