What is a 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box?
The 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box is a modular pre-terminated fiber distribution box with 6/12 LC duplex adapter connectors or other types of SC connectors at the front end, 1 MPO/MTP adapter connector at the back end, and the MPO/MTP to LC/SC branch fiber jumper is placed in the box. The 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box is mainly used to realize the safe conversion between MPO/MTP connector and LC or SC connector, and is generally used for the fiber backbone connection and distribution management of Internet data center (IDC), main distribution area (MDA) or equipment distribution area (EDA).
What is the magic of a 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box that makes it widely used in high-density data centers? Let's take a look at the advantages of 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution boxes.
1. High density
Since the MTP/MPO connector supports 12/24 core fiber, it can provide higher density connection compared with the type of LC connector. Therefore, the 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box makes use of the MPO/MTP connector to achieve high-density wiring requirements and effectively save wiring space.
2. Easy to manage/maintain
The above mentioned 12 core / 24 core fiber optic distribution box of high density can be used effectively to reduce the number of optical fiber, and the cable can be beneficial to less space management, in addition, if the joint change (i.e. turned 40 g, 10 g joint from LC duplex MPO/MTP), 12 core / 24 core fiber optic distribution box can replace cables, other devices can remain the same, more convenient maintenance management.
3. Easy installation/less deployment time
The 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box belongs to the pre-end connection product, which adopts push-pull joint, is convenient to plug and pull out, and is easy to install. Compared with the traditional fiber distribution system, the installation time of 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box can effectively reduce the wiring time by 75%.
4. Good scalability
The 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box adopts modular design, which can be quickly connected to 40G/100G network equipment, avoiding the trouble of reconfiguration of switch and other equipment.
5. The cost is low
The 12-core / 24-core fiber distribution box is easy to install, which can avoid the installation cost of professional installers and reduce the wiring cost.
