Innovative SNMP real-time management of patch cord connections with GIRARD's EZ-View system
Headings
The SC 48 EZ-Panel is a new addition to the GIRARD family of SNMP manageable real-time connectivity products. The EZ-Panels, which support 24 duplex adapters (48 fibers) in a 2U rack space, can be attached to the GIRARD EZ-View system. The system continuously scans the connectivity configuration of all the patch cords and reports it in SNMP to the network administrator's management station.
A moving tray provides built in cable management by holding and arranging the cables. This drawer mechanism enables easy access to the rear of the EZ-Panel and does away with the need for removing the EZ-Panel above.
Configurable rack mounting brackets allow for recessed EZ-Panel mounting adjustable to both 19" and 23" width, enhancing cable protection. Cable strain relief is provided by using cable-ties on the exterior of the EZ-Panel, by means of rear and side cable entries, as well as in the interior of the EZ-Panel, by means of strain relief saddles. Grounding points are provided on the rear of the EZ-Panel which, in conjunction with the optional F/O Cable Ground Kit, allow grounding of armored fiber optic cables.
The adapter EZ-Panel includes two rows of 12 adapters, single mode or multi mode, spaced for easy access during operation and maintenance. Each port includes an SC to SC or SC to ST duplex adapter as well as an additional EZ-View scanning contact. GIRARD's F/O patch cords for EZ-Panel must be used in order to benefit from the advantages of the EZ-View system.
These cords, described in greater detail in the Fiber Optic Cables and Cords section, feature a duplex fiber cable, a single copper wire in a common jacket, and an SC duplex connector with an extra spring-loaded copper contact. Regular SC patch cords can be used when EZ-View scanning is not desired.
The EZ-Panel includes four fiber management clips and one cable entry gland.
Accessories
The SC 48 EZ-Panel offers a complete line of accessories to secure, organize and protect fusion spliced fibers; including splice cassette kits, splice cassette expanders, fusion protection sleeves and protection sleeve holders. The stackable splice cassettes hold up to two protection sleeve holders each, for a total of 16 fibers per cassette.
Additional accessories are available to optimize cable protection and storage. Fiber management clips are included to provide orderly excess cable storage, while maintaining minimum bend radius. Fully customizable cable entry glands may be assembled over the rear and side cable entries to further enhance cable strain relief. When using armored cables, the F/O Cable Ground Kit can be attached to grounding points on the rear of the EZ-Panel.
SC 48 with Optional Accessories
Interface
- Front Interconnection (patch cord side)
24 SC, duplex adapters and EZ-View scanning contacts
- Back Interconnection (cabling side)
24 SC or 24 ST duplex adapters. Maximum overall diameter of the ST connector should not exceed 11 mm.
- Interconnection to GIRARD's EZ-View System
One 26-pin, 100-mil spacing header, located on the lower rear side and marked H1, is used to connect to the EZ-View Scanner. Select a Scanner Attachment Cord according to the required length.
- Indicators
24 port identification indicator LEDs are located on the front EZ-Panel. Connected ports are indicated by a pair of activated LEDs. A single port can be identified and the corresponding LED activated by a remote control command from the network management station.
- Cable Entry, Routing and Clamping
Two rear and two side cable entry cutouts are provided for cable entry including one cable entry gland. The cable- ties are attached through round holes located adjacent to the cable entry cutouts. Strain relief saddles provide cable strain relief within the EZ-Panel.
- Provisions for Fusion Splice Storage and Organization
Various accessories, including splice cassettes, fusion protection sleeves, protection sleeve holders, etc., may be ordered separately.
- Provisions for Excess Cable Storage
Four fiber management clips are included as accessories to provide orderly excess cable storage while maintaining minimum bend radius.
- Provisions for Armored Cable Grounding
The optional F/O Cable Ground Kit may be used in conjunction with the two grounding points provided on the rear of the EZ-Panel.
