Whether your fiber optic cables are located in a Controlled Environmental Vault (CEV) or a remote site location, you need to be able to get to them easily. And when you do, you must be confident that they have remained secure, just the way you left them — safe from unauthorized personnel. The OFS 400A Fiber Optic Interface Unit, provides both easy access and security.

Developed by OFS Labs, the 400A interface unit is a modular enclosure that provides cross-connect and interconnect capabilities for splicing and terminating Outside Plant Cables (OSP) or Fiber Optic Building Cables. As shown below, the 400A interface unit has two separate side-by-side sections. One side houses terminated fibers; the other side houses organized jumpers. Each side has its own door with different keys. Although the unit comes in two models (400 A1 and 400 A2), the models are essentially identical. However, for greater security, Model 400A-2 has locks installed on each door

Features and Benefits

  • Space saving – The unit is small — only 17 inches (43.18 cm) wide,
    10 inches (25.4 cm) high, and 6 inches (15.24 cm) deep. It is wallmountable (with plywood backboard) or frame-mountable, using our Model 742A mounting panel for use in a hut, CEV, or remote site location. You can also use one cabinet for either cross-connection or interconnection.
  • Flexibility for growth – Individual units (modules) can be added as
    needed. They can be stacked in a column of 5 units, with the top of the uppermost module 68 inches (172.72 cm) from the floor. This arrangement accommodates a total of 240 fibers per column yet maintains a 1.5-inch (3.81 cm) fiber bend radius. The units also have knockout cable-entry ports and a standard 1-inch (2.54 cm) conduit knockout for increased flexibility.
  • Reduced cost – The modular design minimizes the initial cost and makes the cross-connect and configuration easily expandable. You can also use your present connectors for termination, and just one unit gives you both routing and expressing capability.
  • Easy access – These units allow top and bottom cable entry. Slide-out connector panels permit easy access to adapters. Also, in a cross connect configuration, the unit provides the centralized location for rearranging fibers, since all fibers from the riser or distribution cables originate from the cross-connect. When you rearrange the jumpers at the crossconnect, you can easily reconfigure the network topology — to meet the needs of the customer, to optimize available electronics, or to avoid interruptions.
  • Minimum maintenance – These units accept all fiber terminations, plus splicing and termination are done in one unit. Once fibers are terminated, all permanent cables(feeder, riser, distribution, electronic ties) are fixed and not routinely disturbed. Rearrangements of services or changes in network topology are accomplished using fiber optic jumpers. Decals are provided for maintenance, record keeping, and administrative work.
  • Increased security – You can purchase the 400A interface unit with locks, or you can purchase locks separately and install them on site.

Applications

Because of its security features and flexible
design, our interface unit is currently being
used in a number of applications,
for example:

  • Low fiber count entry facilities
  • Local Area Networks
  • General premises distribution Systems
  • Small-count splice applications
