Optical Cross-Connect (OCC) Cabinets & Kits

Corning's family of optical cross-connects (OCCs) are versatile, fully enclosed cabinets designed for fiber optic rack-mountable hardware. All products in this family offer modular design for incremental growth and are ideal as outdoor protected environments for cross-connect installations. Compatible with Corning rack-mountable hardware, these cabinets can accommodate many combinations of connector, splice and coupler housings. This modular system makes it possible to create fiber optic configurations for outdoor applications. All OCC cabinets accept Eclipse®, FDC® and LDC connector module housing units for installations using field connectorization or factory-stubbed housings. Stubbed housings with outdoor cable are available and can be spliced into the network using one of the many Corning splice closures. Furcation kits for field installation of connectors in an outdoor environment are also available to protect the fibers. In addition, splice housings can be used for pigtail splicing inside the cabinet. The pad-mountable version (-G) requires the PAD-OCC-01 for the 31-G and 51-G or the PAD-OCC-02 for the 80-G. The pad-mountable frame aids in construction of the pad and installation of cables. The galvanized steel frame provides a properly sized opening in the pad for cable entry and contains threaded inserts for accurately mounting the cabinet during installation.
