OMX Optical Distribution Frame
For Europe, the Middle East, and Africa
Saving floor space by increasing optical distribution frame density can
provide significant cost-savings to the service provider.
Service providers also require a flexible optical distribution frame, which enables them
to quickly respond to customers’ changing needs. These key factors have driven the
increased demand for a high-density, modular, front access optical distribution frame.
Originally designed in the United States to meet these demands, the OMX frame has
recently been enhanced to meet the specific requirements of Europe, the Middle East
and Africa.
Termination, splice and optical component modules have been made smaller and easier
to install. They are compatible with all existing OMX framework, making it easy to fill in
an existing frame without investing in additional rack hardware.
The newly designed modules incorporate features that make accessing installed
connectors and cables easier and faster -- while still maintaining the OMX‘s proven cable
management and protection. Designed for total front access, the OMX can be installed
back-to-back or against a wall to save valuable office floor space. This high-density frame
terminates and splices up to 576 fiber in a 600mm x 300mm (ETSI) footprint. The OMX
fiber frame protects fiber cable and connections through use of patented angled adapter/
retainers and design features that maintain correct bend radius throughout the frame.
Adding signal enhancement and management functions, such as splitters, couplers and
wavelength division multiplexers, optimizes the value of the fiber network by providing
nonintrusive access to the optical signal for monitoring and testing signal integrity.

OMX Optical Distribution Frame
For Europe, the Middle East, and Africa
The OMX’s modular design provides flexibility to meet the specific needs
of the service provider. Each solution combines the following parts:
OMX Frame
The OMX frame is 600mm x 300mm (ETSI) and has ten mounting positions for termination,
splice and jumber storage modules.
OMX Termination Module
The OMX termination modules are available with 72 or 96 SC/LC, or 144 LC adapters.
These modules can be ordered with adapters only or perminated with either intrafacility
fiber cable (IFC), outside plant (OSP) cables, or pigtales for ease of instillation. The
modules are available with SC or LC connector/adapter styles.
OMX Splice Module
The OMX splice module provides protection and a mounting location for CommScope’s
round splice trays. Each splice module is two mounting positions tall and holds 24 splice
trays. Each splice tray can house up to 24 splices.
OMX Slack Storage Solutions
The OMX jumper storage module enables storage of fiber-optic jumper slack within an
OMX frame. Each jumbper storage module is one module position tall. The Interbay
Management Panel provides off-frame storage of jumper slack. CommScope reccomends
the use of 1.8mm patch cords to maximize the cable management potential of the OMX.
