Application

In order to meet requirements for connection in an active rack where space is limited, to preserve the integrity of the network by limiting transient losses when shelf units are opened, and to comply with the ETSI standard by optimising the volumes using a principle of modularity, while still providing all of the necessary functions at all topologies, NEXANS Composants Télécom is proposing this concept in the context of highspeed data links.

The units include the function of splicing, patching and coiling of the fibres, and are able to handle several connection standards.

Design

The SHRL shelf units come in the following form :

• the painted pivoting metal shelf unit, containing a splicing cassette for 24 splices.
• the painted pivoting metal shelf unit, containing a coiling arrangement with a maximum capacity of 18 meters for 1,6 mm jumpers.
• the painted metal shelf unit with a jumpering function for 12 connections.
• the combined patching and coiling shelf unit with a capacity of 4 connections.

These shelf units can be stacked in a rack, each mounted in a chassis, or they can be grouped into larger chassis, each containing four or even eight shelf units, with pivoting to either left or right.
