Fiber Connections - Fiber Distribution Modules

5" Fiber Distribution Module (FDM)

This modular fiber cabling solution saves you time and money by reducing your termination time by 90%! The simple "plug in" feature of Fiber Connections’ 5" Fiber Distribution Modules (FDMs) eliminates the need for on-site termination of fiber optic cables, resulting in fast, easy and cost effective installations.

Our FDMs are designed to provide a compact and secure modular cabling system that is compatible with our 1U and 4U Rack Mount Housings as well as our Wall Mount Housings. The MTP connector is located on the rear panel of each module for easy access when using pre-terminated MTP Cable Assemblies.

FDMs are available in standard 62.5/125 and 50/125 multimode fiber, high bandwidth 50/125 multimode fiber and singlemode fiber types. We offer front panel couplers in multiple fiber configurations and industry standard SC, LC, MTRJ, FC and ST compatible connectors.

This cabling solution can be used in almost any fiber installation. Call our sales office to assist you in the design of your job, 1-800-353-1127.
