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.
