Optical fiber distribution frame is an important supporting equipment in the optical transmission system, it is mainly used for optical fiber terminal welding, optical connector installation, optical path modulation, storage of excess pigtail and optical cable protection, it plays an important role in the safe operation and flexible use of optical fiber communication network.

1 Functions of the optical fiber distribution frame

Optical fiber distribution frame is an important supporting equipment in the optical transmission system, it is mainly used for optical fiber terminal welding, optical connector installation, optical path modulation, storage of excess pigtail and optical cable protection, it plays an important role in the safe operation and flexible use of optical fiber communication network. In the past 10 years, the optical cable used in the construction of optical communication is usually a few to dozens of cores, and the capacity of optical fiber distribution frame is generally less than 100 cores. These optical fiber distribution frames show more and more disadvantages such as smaller storage capacity of pigtail, inconvenient operation of deployment connection, fewer functions and simple structure. Nowadays, optical communication has been widely used in trunk line and local network relay transmission, and thinning has become the development direction of access network. In the construction of new optical fiber network, all places try to choose large core number of optical fiber cable, so that the capacity, function and structure of optical fiber distribution frame put forward higher requirements.

2 Features of the optical fiber distribution frame

In recent years, in the actual work of optical communication construction, through the use of several products compared, we think that the selection of optical fiber distribution frame should focus on the following aspects.

(1) Core capacity

An optical fiber distribution frame should be able to enable the maximum number of fiber optic cables in the office to be fully mounted, where possible, can be connected to more than a few fiber optic cables in a frame, to facilitate the allocation of optical routes. At the same time, the capacity of the distribution frame should correspond to the general cable core series, so that the waste of the capacity of the optical fiber distribution frame can be reduced or avoided due to improper collocation.
