FieldSmart Fiber Crossover Multi-Purpose (FxMP) Patch Panel

Product Details

The FieldSmart FxMP Panel is a high density, low maintenance fiber distribution panel for use in a data style rack/cabinet, a 19” (482.60 mm) or a 23” (584.20 mm) frame. Utilizing the Clearview^® Cassette, FieldSmart FxMP Panels are intelligently designed to provide the user with superior fiber access and craft-friendly, radius protected, fiber management for routing and deploying fiber jumpers. 

Stand Alone Panel in a 19” or 23” (482.60 mm or 584.20 mm) Frame

When you already have the frame and want to add just a panel or two of incremental fiber management, the FxMP is configured with front and rear protection blocks for complete slack storage and physical fiber protection.

Stand Alone Panel in an OSP Active Cabinet

Make the crossover into the OSP with the identical product. Patch only environments are supported without additional components, while a rear protection block enables patch and splice (Clearfield’s in-cassette splicing solution) configurations. The common architecture saves you time and money in reducing inventory costs and shorter training period.

Stand Alone Panel in a Data Rack/Cabinet

When you already have a data rack or cabinet and simply need to add fiber management, the FxMP is available to mount in this smaller footprint, providing all the fiber protection you need without the added cost. Available in black.

Optical Component Chassis

An optical component chassis is mounted in a rack and holds optical components modules. Fiber jumper management is provided from the front of the optical component module to the interbay cable management panels. Optical components are splitters or WDM’s that are housed in the flexible Clearview Cassette. The FieldSmart modules require an Optical Component Chassis to house the modules in a frame.
