Enhanced Management Frame (EMF) - EDGE™ Solutions Housing

The enhanced management frame (EMF) is designed for high-density fiber management supporting FTTx, cross-connect, and interconnect applications. Its integrated modular design allows for scalable growth and expansion of a fiber management system – one frame, one housing, one module, and one fiber termination at a time. User-friendly features, such as single jumper length, integrated inter-bay jumper storage, transparent modules, and multiple inter-bay fiber routing options, make this frame ideal for FTTx deployments and carrier data center, traditional cross-connect, and interconnect applications.

The EMF EDGE™ solutions housing utilizes the EDGE 12-fiber LC module to support passive optical networks. Each of the modules that can be fitted within one housing independently extends and retracts from the frame for minimal adjacent connector disturbance and a “quiet-front” appearance. Each housing holds eight 12-fiber EDGE LC modules (96 fibers per housing) for a total of 2,304 fiber terminations with LC connectors. Every module is fed by a single 12 F MTP® preconnectorized MTP trunk leg at the rear side. There is provision for strain-relieving two EDGE trunk cables at the rear side of the housing.

Housings are available for both left and right sides of the frame. Staggered side-mounted routing guides on the module housings allow clean fiber management and control pathways for front-to-rear jumper routing. There is full bend-radius control throughout the frame with top and rear strain relief.
