Product Details

The FiberFlex 1700 Convergent series uses an all-in-one design approach capable of integrating fiber, power (AC & DC) and active equipment using multiple cabinet bays to separate power and active equipment from the fiber distribution. This cabinet offers multiple configuration options, supporting diverse deployment scenarios and featuring a 19” or 23” vertical equipment rack to accommodate the following applications:

  • 34RU (17RU X 17RU): Capable of supporting two strings of batteries, one in each enclosure.
  • 42RU (17RU X 25RU): Capable of supporting one battery string in the 17RU enclosure.
  • 50RU (25RU X 25RU): Capable of supporting lithium battery deployments.

The FiberFlex 1700 Convergent provides two modular enclosures, one enclosure designed to support all customer powered equipment needs and a separate enclosure supporting fiber distribution. Up to 432 internal fiber distribution ports in the 34RU configurations, and up to 576 internal fiber distribution ports in the 42RU and 50RU configurations. The FiberFlex 1700 Convergent offers optional splitter capacity with an integrated 1RU splitter tray, supporting up to 9 ruggedized splitters. For configurations that include splitter support, one integrated splitter tray is provided for every 288 fiber distribution ports. The FiberFlex 1700 Convergent uses local AC power via the integrated AC Load Center with optional generator plug for back-up.
