AFL has released the Mini Infinity Fibre Distribution Frame (IFDF), a high density optical interconnect solution suited for a range of communication environments.

It is the smaller version of the in-demand IFDF, however accommodates 12 sub frames in comparison to 26. The Mini IFDF is ideal for high density fibre management in data centres, co-location and telecommunication environments.

It is a left and right sectioned mounting frame that is populated with modular swing out sub frames as required. This allows both inbound and outbound cables to be separated, each section will accommodate 6 sub frames, totalling 12 when both are fully populated. A range of modules are available to suit fusion splicing, patching, passive device module patching and MTP patching.

Based on a maximum module capacity of 24 fibres, the IFDF can present 1440 spliced terminations making it one of the highest density frames on the market.

AFL senior product manager Michael Gauci says it is a mounting frame that allows high density terminations and management of incoming and outgoing cables with a reduced capacity in comparison to the standard frame.

Features include:

• Individual modules allow access without adjacent circuit disruption.
• Top and bottom cable entry suitable for both overhead and under floor cabling.
• Central storage bay accommodates patchcord routing and storage.
• All front access to suit wall mounting.
• Fixed length patchcords suit all patching requirements, minimising inventory.
