BANGALORE, India - February 17, 2014
R&M,
Swiss cabling specialist, has developed a new generation of street
cabinets with high-density capabilities inside. Up to 50 percent more
fiber optic connections can now be accommodated in the usual sized
housing. This new generation is called the HD SCM street cabinet. HD
stands for "High Density". SCM stands for "Single Circuit Management", a
tray system R&M developed for connecting, distributing and managing
a large number of optic fibers in a tiny space.
The
HD SCM street cabinet has space for as many as 1728 splice connections.
That is a world record in this segment. Up to 120 conduits with fiber
optic cables can be drawn into the distribution cabinet. The conduits
are fixed in place with a single click in a newly developed strain
relief device. This technology saves the use of cable ties and screw
connections.
Fiber
optic cabling is growing day by day. The expansion of broadband
networks is progressing continuously. Network operators have to house
increasing numbers of fibers in their nodes and distribution points in
order to provide full-coverage "Fiber to the Home" (FTTH) service. This
situation impacts outdoor distributors, especially the street-side
cabinets. In many cases, they cannot be expanded at will when there is
an increase in the number of cables.
Quick
assembly is a crucial criterion for R&M when it comes to saving
time for network operators. That is why all components in the
distributor platform can be mounted and retrofitted with a few flicks of
the wrist. The splice area can be swiveled out like a collapsible
table, allowing users to work all around on the trays, splices and fiber
management.
R&M
offers the street cabinet in four different sizes and with variable
possible uses. This approach allows a flexible adaptation to various
infrastructures and cabling strategies or to special site conditions.
Specific adaptations and individually pre-terminated SCM modules can be
provided to accommodate special applications, proprietary standards and
national specifications. The R&M platform supports blow-in and
loose-tube cabling.
The
minimum bending radius of 40 millimeters is one of the outstanding
features of the SCM products. This stress-free radius minimizes
attenuation losses in the fibers and facilitates easier handling during
installation. That has a decisive effect on loss-free signal
transmission over the long term. With the SCM System, R&M is the
only supplier on the market to guarantee the 40-millimeter minimum
bending radius throughout all network levels even in connection with a
high packing density.
