Density and Capacity
The F23 is a high density, low maintenance fiber distribution panel for use in standard 23-inch distribution frames. The F23 is intelligently designed to provide the user with superior fiber access while using craft friendly radius protected fiber management for routing and deploying fiber jumpers in high-density applications.
Application
High-density fiber management for central office/head end environments.
Features and Benefits
INTEGRITY
- Terminations compliant to Telcorida GR-326
- GR-20, GR-409 and GR-449 compliant
- Supports all industry standard singlemode and multimode connectors
- 100% performance tested for I.L./R.L. and final mechanical inspect
- Optical component configurations use GR 1221/1209 compliant devices
- RUS listed
PROTECTION
- Design enables faster fiber jumper routing, reducing risk of fiber damage when accessing, troubleshooting, or cleaning pre-terminated assembly legs
- Removable front and rear covers
- Ruggedized cable clamp protects against twisting and pistoning at assembly breakout point
- Pre-terminated OSP buffer tubes protected with bend-limited tubing and slack stored inside panel for protection against human and environmental damage
- Rugged steel design
ACCESS
- Offset 12-packs and removable front cover offer easy access and fast installation, repair, cleaning or testing of fibers, as well as easier jumper routing
- Adapter plate orientation and diverse, intuitive route paths reduce cable pile-up and congestion, and allow easier jumper identification and access
- Rear or front mount, open or closed style brackets available
- Intelligent in-panel routing of pre-terminated assemblies allows access to broken-out sub-units or buffer tubes from front of panel
- Optional interbay management panels enhance fiber jumper routing and excess cable storage capacity
INVESTMENT
- Provides industry-leading 144-port density by deploying in a 6-inch footprint
- Same 6-inch footprint provides for 72 and 96 ports of interconnect for less dense requirements
- On- or off-frame splicing configurations support all cable constructions to 144 fiber cables; separate splice deck available for on-frame splicing

F23 Patch Only Fiber Management Panel. Pre-configured/pre-loaded with a 15/30 meter XXX-fiber IFC riser tight buffered assembly terminated into 12-fiber adapter plates and installed into fiber management panel. Top exit.
*On-frame splicing utilizes multiple 12-fiber IFC riser-rated tight-buffered assemblies and requires use of separate fiber splice deck.
**Part numbers are fully loaded panels. Partial load configurations available in 12-port increments up to full capacity of panel. Additional connector types, cable constructions and custom pigtail lengths available. Please call your salesperson for assistance in configuring to your network needs.
