Optical Distribution Frames (ODF)

Optical Distribution Frames (ODF)
ADC’s family of Optical Distribution Frames (ODF) reflect our expertise in cable
management with innovative products that ensure bend radius protection at
every point in the frame application. High-density fiber frames, clear routing
paths, slack storage solutions, easy connector access and simplified integration
of optical components all optimize the value of the optical network. This product
family stresses modularity and flexibility well suited for today’s fiber network and
is capable of accommodating future growth. ADC is a market leading supplier and
value producer of fiber access, termination and connectivity products designed to
provide a full range of solutions for optical networks.
