eks engel0218With the new modular splice box FIMP-XP from EKS angel active and passive components can be flexibly connected to the network. There are over 20 different modules for fiber optic and twisted pair cables that can be combined as required.

The splice box, which can be mounted on the DIN rail, can be equipped with up to four modules, which, depending on the version, offer ports for connectors of the type SC Duplex, ST Duplex, LC Quattro, E2000 Compact, RJ45 and Sub-D9 - ports for other types are available Inquiry. The modules can be removed for easy connection of the fiber optic and twisted pair cables. They can also be rotated by 180° and thus variably positioned. A feed for two cables enables use in networks with a ring or bus topology. The cases, which are made of powder-coated metal, are 135 mm high, 127 mm deep and 28 mm or 56 mm wide. Due to the robust design of the modules and a temperature range of -40° to +75 °C, the splice box in the switch cabinet and also be installed outside.

All optical modules are available for singlemode (9 / 125 μm) and multimode (50 / 125 μm, 62,5 / 125 μm) fibers. They have two permanently installed splice cassettes with a splice tray and one splice comb each, which can be rotated around 360 ° and securely locked. Short hold-downs make it easier to insert the pigtails. In order to fix these and to comply with the corresponding bending radii, additional holes for cable guides are available.

The opening of Gland has an elongated shape so that the optical fibers can be spliced ​​outside the housing and then inserted into the modules. There are several punched holes to enable variable cable routing. Both the front panel and the splice cassette, which has a 2 m long pigtail set, can be completely removed for splicing. The cassette can also be fixed to a splicing device.
