NGF-BLOCKS

CommScope’s NGF optical distribution frame can hold four types of fiber blocks:

Fiber termination block (FTB)
CommScope’s FTB is available with industry-standard adapters in block configurations of 72-, 96- and 144- positions. Also, a 192-position FTB is available using LC adapters. FTBs utilize sliding adapter packs to gain easy access to both the front and rear terminations. To accommodate varying network requirements and speed installation, FTBs can be ordered with adapters only or preterminated with either intrafacility cable (IFC) or outside plant (OSP) cables.

Fiber termination blocks (FTBs) with MPO connectors
CommScope’s FTB with MPO connectors provide MPO connectability on the rear of the block for easy connection of MPO fiber cables. The termination portion of the fiber block utilizes sliding adapter packs to gain easy access to standard connectors and adapters on the front of the block and provides a location for standard patch cord connections.

Fiber Combination Blocks (FCB)
Fiber Combination Blocks (FCBs) provide termination and on-frame splicing capabilities, all in one block. The block occupies two mounting positions on the frame section. They are available with LC and SC adapters in block configurations of 72- or 96 or 144-positions.

Value-added module block (VAM)
Adding signal management and enhancement functions, such as splitters, couplers and wavelength division multiplexers, optimizes the value of your fiber network, by providing nonintrusive access to the optical signal for monitoring and testing signal integrity. There is a block configuration available to accommodate Micro Value-Added Modules (MicroVAMs) for applications requiring splitters or WDMs.
