Clearfield ODC-200 Cabinet

Product Details

The Clearfield ODC-200 broadband enclosure provides the ultimate modularity and flexibility in a low profile cabinet design, while preserving maximum capacity for cooling and internal space for equipment and copper or fiber distribution. The ODC-200 accommodates multiple 1RU networking systems, including the Calix E7-2 and B6-001 Ethernet access products, and provides all the powering, line protection, and fiber or copper cable management to serve copper and fiber access subscribers. The ODC-200 represents a strategic breakthrough for the outside plant. Combining unprecedented scalability and flexibility with a form factor that meets the strictest zoning regulations, the ODC-200 is a game changer for Communications Service Providers shortening their copper loops today, and positioning themselves for an effortless migration to fiber in the future.

Features & Benefits

MODULARITY:

The ODC-200 enclosure can scale from a minimum equipment configuration of 48 copper or fiber subscriber lines to its maximum capacity of 384 combo copper loops or 384 fiber drops. A simple but spacious interior enables field technicians to install common options such as equipment shelves, power and ground cabling, line protection panels, fiber distribution, battery options, and cross-connect modules. A field installable Expansion Module (EXM) provides the ability to grow the enclosure to support more subscriber fiber distribution endpoints, add a secondary or alternative location for an integrated battery box, add rack space to migrate copper loops to fiber drops, integrate a copper cross-connect, etc.

FLEXIBILITY:

The ODC-200 accommodates a variety of standard options expected in remote enclosures, such as an internal battery enclosure and/or integrated battery box in an EXM, battery warmers, integrated cross-connect (in EXM), and field changeable distribution frames for copper or fiber based access, risers and vaults, generator connector, etc.

POWER OPTIONS:

The ODC-200 supports local AC power or remote/line power configurations. An AC powered ODC-200 includes a redundant rectifier with a UL approved load center or with a simpler AC input junction box. The enclosure also provides multiple battery backup options, in-cabinet and/or EXM. The remote powered ODC-200 includes a ±190Vdc downstream power converter (max. 20 circuits) and one or two hold-up capacitors.

LOW PROFILE:

The ODC-200 has been designed to comply with a 36 inch height requirement, to allow a minimum intrusive effect in urban, suburban and residential areas. Different riser and vault options are available to allow ease of access in unrestricted height deployments.

COPPER TO FIBER ACCESS MIGRATION:

The ODC-200 provides an ideal platform for migrating copper access services to fiber access infrastructure and electronics. The mounting frames in the enclosure support an equal concentration of copper pro-panels to fiber distribution frames. Many chassis based architectures provide a common infrastructure for copper (VDSL2) and fiber access (GPON or AE) service line cards. A field installable Expansion Module (EXM) provides additional space to add fiber distribution for a planned and orderly subscriber cutover. When migrating from copper based access to FTTP, the Service Provider can re-utilize the cabinet as an active or passive remote. Active equipment, and power elements in the cabinet like the rectifier shelf and AC load center, battery box and batteries, or heat exchanger door, are easily removed allowing ample space in the enclosure for fiber splicing, termination and distribution, and multiple high concentration splitters, turning the previously active remote into a fiber splice and splitting enclosure.

EQUIPMENT ACCESS:

The ODC-200 has front and side doors and a copper distribution swing frame to provide ample access to the equipment and power system within the cabinet. A heat exchanger is integrated onto the equipment access door as a standard feature.
