Ferrule Tray FC-APC Series
Ferrule trays (also called fiber optic ferrule trays, fiber optic active connector trays, and fiber optic patch panels) are commonly used in fiber optic communication systems to secure, protect, and manage fiber optic patch cords and ferrules. Key functional requirements include ferrule securement, fiber optic patching and management, protection, modular design, adaptability to various scenarios, and standardized interfaces.
Description
There are many specifications, including FC-APC-12T, FC-APC-24T, FC-APC (Quick Disk)-24T, FC-APC-36T.The main functions of the ferrule tray are as follows:
Ferrule Fixing
The ferrule tray secures various types of fiber optic connectors (such as SC, LC, FC, and ST), maintaining stability and preventing damage or dislodging of fiber end faces due to vibration or tension.
Fiber Distribution and Management
As part of the distribution tray, it effectively manages fiber routing, storage, and branching, avoiding fiber cross-connections and confusion.
Clear labeling and organization facilitate maintenance and subsequent expansion.
Protection
The tray is typically made of metal or flame-retardant engineering plastic, preventing damage to the ferrules and optical fibers.
The bend radius of the optical fiber is effectively controlled, preventing loss caused by microbending or breakage.
Modular Design
Ferrule trays are generally modular units that can be retracted or plugged in, facilitating installation, replacement, and expansion.
Adapter modules with varying fiber counts can be configured as needed, with 6-, 12-, and 24-fiber options being common.
Adaptable to Various Scenarios
Can be used in equipment such as optical fiber distribution frames (ODFs), optical cross-connect boxes, and fiber optic terminal boxes.
Supports single-mode and multimode fiber, meeting the diverse needs of indoor and outdoor communication networks.
Standardized Interfaces
Compliant with international standards (such as IEC, TIA/EIA), ensuring interoperability between equipment from different manufacturers.
Easy Maintenance
The ferrule trays are retractable, allowing maintenance without affecting other lines.
Cable management loops and cable troughs ensure orderly fiber organization.
