Mds Bulkhead Plate 2.50" Cable Opening And Strain Support 2-slot

The MDS Enclosure (MicroDuct Distribution System) is an innovative and highly customizable distribution solution designed specifically for indoor enterprise, data centers, and DAS applications. This unique enclosure provides an all-in-one solution for routing, splicing, and distributing MicroDuct, air-blown cable, and traditional fiber optic cables. Offering enhanced organization and space optimization, the MDS Enclosure is engineered to handle a wide range of duct sizes up to 2.50" OD, making it an ideal choice for installations where precision and scalability are essential.

Built for flexibility, the MDS Enclosure is the first of its kind to combine microduct splicing and distribution within a single unit, significantly reducing the need for extra parts and minimizing the space required for duct distribution. Whether you need to deploy it as a standalone unit or stack multiple enclosures back-to-back for larger jobs, the MDS Enclosure can adapt to your network’s growing needs. This makes it an essential tool for enterprise-level fiber installations, providing both scalability and efficiency.

MicroDuct Cable Management and Optimization

The MDS Enclosure is designed to manage all forms of duct, supporting diameters up to 2.50" OD. Its versatile configuration allows it to serve as a termination point, pass-through, or breakout box, providing flexible options for routing large-count cables into an OCEF (Optical Cable Entry Facility). The MDS Enclosure optimizes the splicing and distribution of microduct systems while enhancing the efficiency of fiber blowing, thanks to its unique angular design. This design feature allows for gentle sweeps, which protect the integrity of delicate fiber cables during installation and operation.

Customizable and Scalable for Various Applications

The MDS Enclosure is scalable, making it suitable for installations of any size. It can be deployed as a single unit, or for larger jobs, it can be stacked and attached back-to-back to create a more expansive distribution system. The enclosure’s powder-coated steel construction ensures long-lasting durability, while its flexible mounting options allow it to be installed on walls or overhead ladder racks (available in 12", 18", or 24" sizes), providing versatility for a wide range of environments.

Designed for Seamless Fiber Blowing and Cable Termination

The MDS Enclosure is engineered to enhance the efficiency of fiber blowing. Its rectangular front ports accept industry-standard LGX 118 adapter plates or cassettes, while express ports on each side of the front rectangular slots accommodate 12.7/10 and 8.5/6 bulkheads. Additional laterals can be added if the plates become full, allowing for continuous expansion as your network grows. Furthermore, the enclosure’s captive and non-captive openings ensure compatibility with various cable configurations, while the front knockouts support single bulkhead adapters.

For environments that require protection against extreme conditions, the MDS Enclosure can be housed within a NEMA 6P closure, providing reliable performance in Outdoor Service Provider (OSP) environments.

Flat Vinyl End Caps

Flat Vinyl End Caps are designed to seal conduit ends, preventing dust, dirt, and debris from entering the conduit. Made from flexible vinyl material, these caps provide excellent protection for both fiber optic and traditional cables. They are available in various sizes to suit different installation needs, and the soft material cushions cable ends to prevent damage during installation.

• Flexible for Easy Installation
• Soft Material Cushions Cable Ends
• Available in 1½" Length
• Durable Vinyl Construction

Tapered Vinyl End Caps

The Tapered Vinyl End Caps offer a secure solution for protecting cables within innerduct systems. Designed specifically for fiber optic installations, the tapered end allows the cable to protrude for easy testing and connection without removing the cap. These end caps are stocked in 2½" lengths with additional taper/nipple extensions.

• Designed for Fiber Optic Installations
• Tapered End for Easy Cable Protrusion and Testing
• Durable and Flexible for a Secure Fit
• Stocked in 2½" Lengths

Cable End Caps

The Cable End Caps are ideal for managing fiber optic cables in innerduct systems. Available in sizes ranging from ¾" to 2½" and featuring one, two, or three-finger configurations, they support a variety of cable sizes. These end caps are constructed from polyvinyl and PVC, offering durability and protection from field hazards.

• Supports Various Cable Sizes
• Finger Configurations for Versatility
• Made from Durable Polyvinyl and PVC
• Protects Conduit from Dust, Debris, and Field Hazards

The MDS Enclosure and its associated components are perfect for organizations looking to optimize their cable routing and splicing infrastructure while maintaining flexibility and scalability. This state-of-the-art enclosure reduces complexity and enhances the performance of fiber optic networks, making it a must-have for modern data centers and enterprise-level installations.
