Fiber Management Of The Future

Springtime for fiber optics. The desire for greater bandwidth and new services means
growth at all levels. Fiber-to-the-Home will cause an exponential explosion in the
number of fibers in the vast network. Totally new solutions will have to be found to
manage individual fibers and subscribers. Single Circuit Management (SCM) is the
solution R&M has devised. This standard splice tray system simplifies fiber manage-
ment on all platforms and network levels up to the building entry point.
090.5502
A modular design, multifunctional components and ingenious rapid assembly tech-
nology are key factors in this innovation. Now there is no limit to the extent fiber
optic networks can expand.

SCM Splice Tray, 12 fibers

090.6464

Benefits Features

• Neat and reliable subscriber management for up • 12 fibers per Single Circuit tray with
to 12 fibers per SC tray guaranteed minimum bending radius of 40 mm

• High packing density

• Available for ANT or shrink splice

• Highest transmission reliability thanks to

guaranteed minimum bending radius of 40 mm

Modular Solution
The Single Circuit splice trays for up to 12 fibers are the latest development of R&M in
a seamless integration into the existing Single Circuit Management System (SCM). They
can accommodate up to 12 splices (heat shrink or mechanical) and thus allow the
individual arranging and managing of up to 12 subscribers. These trays are yet another
step towards guaranteeing highest modularity and packing densities in all FTTH
platforms, be it in splice closures, street cabinets, BEP or Central Office (ODF).

for central office, hub and data center applications in order to manage the expansion
of fiber optic infrastructures more efficiently and more flexibly. R&M’s answer: the
Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) combined with the Single Circuit Management
System (SCM). This distribution solution allows network operators to set up their next
090.5638
generation central office. It helps them master the planning, assembly and operation
– smoothly and reliably, thanks to the modular design and outstanding rapid-
assembly technology. Now there is no limit to the expansion of fiber optic networks.

Rely on smart cable raceways

Operators of broadband networks and data centers prefer taking the fast, efficient
route. That is also true of raceways in central installations and distribution sites. The
installation and re-equipping of fiber optic racewaysystems have to proceed as
smoothly as possible to save time for productive tasks. You can now switch to the
passing lane when it comes to cable raceways.
With the Fiber Optic Raceway System from R&M, you take the lead in managing fiber
090.5282
optic links while adding benefits for your own operation. The R&M Raceway System
has a smart design: safe, fast, efficient, free of stress, modular, customized and easy
as can be to handle.

• Neat and reliable subscriber management • Protection class of housing: IP65**

• High packing density • Allows splicing of up to 432 fibers

• Seamlessly integrated into SCM product range • Up to 36 subscribers individualized on SC

splice trays
• Highest transmission reliability thanks to
guaranteed minimum bending radius of 40 mm • Can be individually fitted with SE, SC or
splitter trays

• Integrated overlength reserve

• Suitable for different cable types

– Subscriber cables
– Loose tube cables
– Mini cables and micro cables

Modular Solution
The BEP 36 ECOline is a modular distribution box, specifically designed to set up optical
network infrastructures. The BEP 36 ECOline is a pure splice through solution and the
building entry point (BEP) in FTTH infrastructures and in different optical networks is its
main field of application. It allows the fast and simple installation and the cabling of loose
tube cables, subscriber cables and blow-in applications. The subscriber management
system is in line with the R&M SCM product range, guaranteeing a modular and flexible
090.6441
090.6251
solution, combined with a high packing density of up to 432 fiber optic connections. In
addition, it can be fitted with two LC, SC or E2000 adapters, which can be used for Smart
Metering and infrastructure applications.

090.6449

Benefits Features

– Cost savings • Suitable for 2 LC-D, E-2000TM adapters with

• Easy and fast installation laser protection and SC
• Easy and logical construction prevents
installation mistakes • Captive, integrated dust covers

• Cable entry from 4 sides

– High availability and stability
• Separated areas for fibers and adapter • Cable overlength reserve for up to 1000 mm
• Generous fiber reserve
• Hold-down plates for fiber protections • Reserve of pigtails 750 mm each
• Guaranteed bending radius of min. 15 mm
• Easy guidance through strain relief from cable
side to splice area

Convenient Handling
FTTH stands for fiber optic cabling being installed all the way to the customer’s house.
Here, the R&M FO splice outlet provides highest operational reliability thanks to
integral dust and laser protection and even achieves cost savings with its well
designed thin and flat construction. The ease of installation is given because of several
features, like the snap-in concept of the outlet to the mounting frame as well as the
very easy guidance and fiber storage inside the outlet. The FiberOutlet from R&M is
090.6431
the easy and safe connection to a new digital lifestyle.

Independent Grading for Fiber Optic Connectors

Quality grades for fiber optic connectors mean more reliability for customers. Up-
grading and installing optical high-performance networks is in full swing on an inter-
national scale. This means the importance of connectors as key components of the
passive cabling infrastructure is also increasing.
No matter what area, from WAN, metropolitan area and campus network applications
up to backbone cabling and subscriber connections, the use of top-quality connectors
050.0195
ensures highest transmission rates, consistent network availability and saves energy
to boot (Green Network). It is therefore indispensable that planners and installers
have a sound knowledge of the quality grades for fiber optic connectors.
