The MDS (MicroDuct Distribution System) Enclosure is an innovative, highly customizable solution specifically designed for MicroDuct cable routing, making it ideal for indoor enterprise, data center, and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) applications. This unique enclosure offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing for the efficient distribution and termination of air-blown cables, ducts, and traditional fiber optic cables. As the first enclosure of its kind, it consolidates splicing and distribution of MicroDuct systems within a single unit, eliminating extra parts and minimizing the space required for cable management. The MDS Enclosure is engineered to streamline your installation process and optimize your network infrastructure, whether for small or large-scale deployments.
Versatile Cable and Duct Management
Designed to manage ducts up to 2.50" OD, the MDS Enclosure can function as a termination point, pass-through, or breakout box, making it ideal for routing large count cables into an OCEF (Optical Cable Entrance Facility). Its versatility ensures that the MDS can meet the needs of various configurations and network setups. Whether used as a standalone unit or stacked and attached back-to-back for larger projects, the MDS Enclosure is a scalable solution that grows with your network.
Efficient and Scalable Design
The MDS Enclosure is designed with scalability in mind, making it adaptable for both small and large jobs. It can be deployed as a single unit or stacked for larger installations, providing ample flexibility for expanding networks. Its angular design allows for gentle sweeps, enhancing the performance of fiber blowing by minimizing friction and cable stress during installation. The enclosure also features express ports for additional bulkhead adapters, making it easier to scale your system as your infrastructure evolves.
Wall or Ladder Rack Mountable
For added installation flexibility, the MDS Enclosure can be mounted to a wall or overhead ladder rack. Available in 12", 18", or 24" configurations, it can easily fit into various network environments. This makes the MDS Enclosure suitable for both confined spaces and larger data center setups. The mounting options ensure that the enclosure can be positioned in the most efficient way for your specific application, enhancing overall accessibility and cable management.
Highly Durable Construction
Constructed from powder-coated steel, the MDS Enclosure is built to withstand harsh environments and long-term use. Its robust design includes captive and non-captive openings, providing additional security and stability for cable management. The enclosure also features front knockouts for single bulkhead adapters, allowing for more convenient access and cable routing. This high-quality construction ensures that the enclosure remains reliable, even in challenging conditions.
Compatible with Industry Standards
The MDS Enclosure is designed with compatibility in mind. Its rectangular front ports accept industry-standard LGX 118 adapter plates or cassettes, allowing for seamless integration with existing network components. The express ports on each side of the rectangular slots support 12.7/10 and 8.5/6 bulkheads, and additional laterals can be added as needed. This ensures that the MDS Enclosure can accommodate future upgrades and expansions without requiring significant modifications.
Outdoor Application Ready
In addition to indoor installations, the MDS Enclosure can be housed in a NEMA 6P closure, making it suitable for OSP (Outside Plant) environments. This provides added protection against environmental factors, ensuring that your cables and ducts are well-protected in both indoor and outdoor settings. The NEMA 6P rating guarantees that the enclosure is resistant to dust, dirt, and water ingress, making it a reliable solution for challenging outdoor conditions.
