The difference between cable management frame and fiber distribution frame

What is the difference between the cable management frame and the fiber distribution frame

(1) different functions

The cable management frame is generally used in conjunction with the optical fiber distribution frame to manage the cables of various jumpers on the optical fiber distribution frame. The optical distribution frame is mainly used to manage equipment, such as identifying and testing faulty cables.

(2) The location is different

The cable management frame is used in the cabinet, and is generally installed on the front end of the optical fiber distribution frame and the switch. The optical fiber distribution frame is mainly used between the switch and the terminal equipment to manage the cables and protect the switch. In data centers, fiber distribution frames are usually installed separately in distribution cabinets.

(3) Different designs

The design of the cable management rack can effectively accommodate more cables; protect the cables from damage and dust; it has high-quality cold-rolled steel plates and is durable. The optical fiber distribution frame adopts digital coding design, which is convenient for cable installation and management; the high-density design of metal cold-rolled steel plate can more effectively prevent external electromagnetic interference.

Installation steps for using the cable management frame with the optical fiber distribution frame

The following will bring you the installation steps for using the cable management frame with the optical fiber distribution frame.

Fix the cable management frame and the 1U fiber optic distribution panel with screws.

Insert the LC fiber jumper into the front panel of the fiber distribution frame, which can accommodate 48 fibers in total.

Use the cable management bracket to tie the cable tie, see the picture above.
