NIKOMAX Optical Cross-Couplings
Article 17 November 2021
For the FTTx networks
The brand-new Optical Distribution Cross-Couplings joined the NIKOMAX family.
Line-up includes:
- NMF-SC-3FA-08-2MS (up to 8 subscriber ports)
- NMF-SC-3FA-16-2MS (up to 16 subscriber ports)
- NMF-SC-3FA-24-2MS (up to 24 subscriber ports)
About cross-couplings
The cross-couplings, also known as optical distribution units, are designed to switch trunk and subscriber cables within the FTTx network.
In data transmission systems, the cross-couplings are applied as:
- a direct and distributing (branching) device (often as a distribution frame),
- protection of welded joints from any mechanical damages.
Key features
The body is made of high-impact ABS plastic, which is resistant to sunlight exposure. That allows using the coupling both inside and outside the building. Also an additional sealing gasket provides the product IP65 protection.
A thoughtful design allows mounting coupling on any flat surfaces as well as supports for various purposes (except for NMF-SC-3FA-24-2MS which is intended for flat surfaces only).
The product is equipped with cable entries, protected with plugs so nothing can get inside the coupling and interfere with network.
And don't worry, because protection of the device from unauthorized access is also ensured with a built-in lock.
