CommScope Announces XPND Modular Fiber Termination Platform
CommScope has announced the CommScope XPND fiber termination panel platform for advancing today's FTTH networks. The CommScope XPND platform creates a flexible connectivity interface for active equipment, with a modular design to scale components and capabilities in response to market changes. It provides fiber management, connectivity, and cable handling to support next-generation fiber active technology, protecting outside passive infrastructure investments. The compact panels fit in a standard 19-inch rack alongside active equipment and features an interchangeable system of panels, cassettes, modules and cables that are shipped and sold separately—giving providers the freedom to customize their network upgrade path while minimizing SKUs and inventory costs. 'The core feature of our new CommScope XPND platform is its completely open design. Each empty panel is a blank canvas, ready to be populated with a virtually unlimited combination of interchangeable cassettes and modules, including optical splitters,' stated Erik Gronvall, VP Strategy & Technology, Datacenter, CommScope. 'Service providers can build the network they need with the minimum number of SKUs for the maximum performance and applications. As FTTH buildouts shift to more rural areas it results in smaller scale installs of single rack or outside plant cabinets. Service providers are confronted with spikes in fiber demand, fluctuating budgets and less certainty in planning. The CommScope XPND panel helps service providers adapt to changing demands and grow at their own pace.' Highlights of the CommScope XPND platform: Complete suite of solutions: panels with interchangeable splice cassettes, adapter modules, optical splitters and cables that work together to support virtually any configuration and application. panels with interchangeable splice cassettes, adapter modules, optical splitters and cables that work together to support virtually any configuration and application. Ease of ordering and upscaling : panels are shipped empty, and the cassettes and modules are ordered separately. As networks evolve, customers can add cassettes and modules, mixing and matching as needed, or preserve room for future growth. : panels are shipped empty, and the cassettes and modules are ordered separately.
