Overview

The Panduit Opticom FRME144SBL is a robust fiber optic splice enclosure designed for high-density fiber management. This enclosure, manufactured by Panduit, offers a substantial capacity, accommodating up to twelve (12) FST6 splice trays, each capable of holding 24 x 900μm fibers with heat shrink splice protectors. The total splice capacity reaches 288 fibers, making it ideal for demanding network infrastructure applications. Its external fiber cable management system facilitates easy storage of excess fiber, while multi-directional routing options for entry and exit fibers allow for flexible mounting, whether vertically or horizontally. The enclosure maintains a critical 30mm bend radius, essential for the integrity of 250μm or 900μm fiber. Internal cable management provides multiple routing options, including crossover capabilities, and pivoting splice holders ensure uninterrupted control of fiber during the splicing process. A built-in fiber pick aids in withdrawing individual fibers. The stackable trays feature a built-in hinge for easy access and come with a transparent lid secured by a hinge and latch. Cable tie points are integrated for securing fiber upon entry and exit. Mounting is versatile, utilizing a center hole, DIN style holes, or a double-sided foam adhesive pad. The FRME144SBL is compatible with Molex CES 1U/2U/4U 19” standard fiber enclosures. Its dimensions are 6.83"H x 11.77"D x 19.0"W (173.5mm x 298.9mm x 465.1mm). Proudly manufactured in the USA, this enclosure is built to support high-performing optical networks in data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise environments.
