Fiber Distribution Cabinets 

GAO’s fiber distribution cabinets are enclosures used in telecommunications and networking infrastructure to house and manage fiber optic cables. These cabinets are installed in central offices, data centers, or distribution points where multiple fiber optic cables terminate. Our fiber distribution cabinets provide a secure and organized location for terminating, splicing, and distributing fiber optic cables.  

GAO’s fiber distribution cabinets are composed of cabinet enclosure, cable entry points, patch panels, splice trays or modules, cable management accessories, fiber optic adapters, splitters or distribution modules, and power distribution units (PDUs). 

The other common names of fiber distribution cabinets are fiber access points, fiber distribution hubs, fiber termination boxes, optical distribution frames (ODF), fiber terminal cabinets, fiber cross-connect cabinets, optical distribution cabinets (ODC), fiber distribution terminals (FDT), fiber termination points (FTP), optical cross-connect cabinets (OCC), fiber splice closure cabinets, fiber access cabinets, fiber patch panel cabinets, optical termination cabinets (OTC), and fiber management cabinets.

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.
