Managed Racks
Click to enlarge
Our range of managed fibre optic racks offers a complete solution for the management of fibre optic enclosures, cables and patchcords. Managed fibre racks are of particular importance in data centre and SAN environments where high density systems are deployed.
AFC managed fibre optic racks are designed to be flexible and modular and allow for easy network expansion (baying) and re-configuration if required. They also offer excellent suite connectivity and integration with overhead and under-floor fibre ducting systems. The racks are particularly suited to managing pre-terminated (trunk) and MTP-style fibre cabling systems.
