GAO Tek’s fiber distribution cabinets have the following functions: 

• Cable termination: Our fiber distribution cabinets serve as a central point for terminating fiber optic cables. These cabinets have panels or modules equipped with fiber optic connectors, such as SC, LC, or ST connectors. These connectors provide the interface for connecting individual fiber optic cables, allowing for the transmission of data or signals. 
• Cable management: GAO’s fiber distribution cabinets incorporate various cable management features to ensure the organized routing and arrangement of fiber optic cables. They typically include cable trays, brackets, or rings that securely hold and guide the cables, maintaining proper bend radius and minimizing strain.  
• Splicing and protection: Our fiber distribution cabinets have splice trays or modules for splicing fiber optic cables together. These trays provide a protected environment for housing and organizing the spliced fibers. 
• Patching and cross-connections: GAO’s fiber distribution cabinets include patch panels or cross-connect modules, which enable easy patching and cross-connection of fiber optic cables. Patch panels have ports that allow for the insertion of fiber optic connectors, facilitating quick and convenient connections.
