ODF system - N3S - Nexans Space Saving Solution

Build your FTTH network with our solutions

Our Space Saving Solution = N3S. A solution for easy, flexible and compact patching, termination and splicing of optical fibres. N3S is a modular system for the termination of a large number of optical fibres in a small floor space. The system consists of patching frame, splice frame (not a splice box on the wall), splice module, patch modules and a complete solution for handling patch cords and cables.

Three different sizes of frame are available: 2,200 mm, 2,000 mm and 1,800 mm (the height of the cable ladder is to be added). The 600 mm width and the 300 mm depth are the same for all three heights.

Two alternative systems solutions are available: N3S system S with integrated splice frame and N3S system TS with separately located splice frame.

All subcomponents are easy to reach and are accessible from the front. There is no strict order of assembly for the preterminated subracks, patches and cables. Individual pre-terminated subracks and patch cables can be easily taken in and out of the frame during operation.

Advantages of the solution - Fast installation

• N3S frames are supplied assembled and ready for installation
• They can be installed free standing, against a wall or back-to-back. Secured with just four screws in the floor
• Easy cabling and securing of the pre-terminated subrack: “two screws in the frame”
•  Flexible and easy to use
• All subcomponents are easy to reach and are accessible from the front. There is no strict order of assembly for the preterminated subracks, patches and cables
• Individual preterminated subracks and patch cables can easily be taken in and out of the frame during operation
   

Benefits of the solution - Space saving

• With a footprint of 600x300 mm there is room for up to 7,680 fibre splices
• The same surface area accommodates 1,536 contacts with associated cable and patch cord management
• No access is needed to the rear of the frames. This means that two N3S frames can be assembled “back-to-back” with a footprint of 600x600 mm

Cost saving

• Three times faster to install than equivalent systems on the market
• Quick and easy operation and maintenance
• Compact and space saving design

Future proof

• Can be extended from 16 to 1,536 fibres in one frame
• Frames can be combined in stages as capacity needs grow
• Saves space in the facility for future needs
