Optical Distribution Frame
Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) is a patch panel for fiber optic cables (LWL). The area of application is in telecommunications such. B. in data centers , where different signal sources are connected internally or externally or fiber optic cables with several fibers are split into the individual fibers for the purpose of distribution. An ODF is a passive optical signal distributor or signal node.
When using short cable paths, the cabling can be done with pre-assembled fiber optic cables or with a splice box . When using a splice box, pigtails are used.
