Optical Splice Enclosure (OSE) Universal

Corning universal optical splice enclosures (OSE) are designed to manage the transition between outside plant cables and fire-retardant indoor riser cables in fiber optic networks. These rugged and versatile enclosures are ideal for use in equipment rooms, splicing vaults or building entrance terminals in CATV, telco or private network environments. The universal OSEs were designed with flexibility in mind. An adjustable interior backplate and removable cable entry plates accommodate top-only, bottom-only or top and bottom cable entries. The removable cable entry plates also enable custom-entry options, including midspan and combination entry configurations. The universal OSE was also designed to provide excellent fiber management. Throughout the cabinet, large routing and guide plates and large routing clips along the walls organize and separate stored fiber and fiber entering the splice trays. In addition, fiber may be routed through the four horizontal pass-through ports located near the top and bottom of the cabinet sides. Each universal OSE features a full range of capabilities for wall, 23-in rack and T-slot mounting. The T-slot mounting hardware allows for both horizontal and vertical mounting and enables tight, side-by-side mounting arrangements. In addition, universal OSEs are especially well-suited for installations that require preconnectorized cable assemblies or stubbed optical patch panels. In these installations, the universal OSE can actually replace the rack-mounted splice unit typically required. Corning offers two versions of the Universal OSE. The high-density universal OSE (OSE-HD0) was designed for today’s higher density fiber distribution systems. Each OSE-HD0 supports up to 1440 single-fiber splices or 360 mass fusion splices (4320 fibers) from as many as 46 cables. The low-density universal OSE (OSE-LD0) supports up to 576 single-fiber splices or 144 mass fusion splices (1728 fibers) from as many as 28 cables. To achieve each unit’s maximum fiber density, Corning recommends using the splice trays designed for the universal OSE. Each tray can accommodate up to 36 single-fiber splices or six mass fusion, 12-fiber ribbon splices. The low-density universal OSE (OSE-LD) can be configured to accommodate 12 OSE splice trays, 21 0.2-in splice trays or 14 0.4-in splice trays. Similarly, the high-density universal OSE can accommodate 30 OSE splice trays, 42 0.2-in splice trays or 28 0.4-in splice trays.
