Application
Either in the Central Office or at a node of the FTTH network, the PASH patching module, installed in its frame (see OpteaStar or PRI or PME cabinets), allows branching plugs of incoming and outgoing pigtails.
In order to optimise the number of connections, and in terms of the internal cabling configuration, the module allows patching on the basis of two options :
- Either patching from jumper to jumper.
- Or patching from jumper to pigtail via the front or the rear.
Description
The patching module is a basic chassis composed of 6 (ETSI) or 8 (19'') plates. They receive the patch panels which have been pre-equipped with adaptors or not. Each level can have up to 12 connection points. The maximum capacity of the module is 72 (ETSI) or 96 (19'') fibres.
This is a swivelling module. This allows to optimise accessibility at the reat of the module whilst allowing minimum fibres movements. It is available in elementary of subrack versions.
The patching module can be fitted with tube, pigtails or jumpers guides according to the cabling configuration.
The module is composed of:
- A fixed chassis attached to the racks
- 6 or 8 swivelling plates
All guiding accessories guarantee a 30mm bending radius.

Product usage
The patching module is a basic chassis composed of 6 (ETSI) or 8 levels (19 and 23), used to receive patching panels, which have been pre-equipped or not with adaptors for optical fibre connectors. Each level can have up to 12 connectors, when pigtails are coming via the front.
The maximum capacity of each shelf is therefore 72 connectors (ETSI), 96 (19), or 128 when pigtails are coming from the rear (23).
The patching module is fitted with tube guides, pigtail guides or jumper guides, in accordance with the chosen cabling configuration.
The module is composed of:
- A fixed chassis attached to the rack;
- 6 (ETSI) or 8 (19-23) hanging distribution levels,
- Accessories for tube guides, pigtail guides, and jumper guides.
Each distribution level is fitted with a strip for securing the optical connectors for patching, as well as a frontal strip for individual protection of the level.
The connectors support strip is available for all types of existing connectors. The module is of the swivelling type in order to optimise accessibility, while allowing minimum movement of the pigtails and of the fibres when opening the module. This is used to guarantee a minimum transient loss effect.Dimensions
