Application
With the FieldSmart FxHD front access design, Clearview® Cassettes are
shifted to the outside of the frame and away from a xed panel conguration.
Instead of traditional panel congurations, the frame is congured with a series
of Clearview Blue cassettes teamed with building brackets built into user-
dened building blocks. The FxHD Frame provides the ultimate in modularity
and exibility to scale from 12 to 2,016 ports in any ber count, optimizing your
ability to maximize ber investment and assets. Clearview Blue’s in-cassette
buffer tube storage allows the FxHD to reclaim the space used for traditional
panels and mass buffer storage and to redeploy it by using building blocks of
Clearview Blue Cassettes.
Description
The FieldSmart High Density Fiber Crossover Distribution System (FxHD) is the highest density ber management frame
solution available in the industry today, providing 2,016 SC terminations in a 7’ frame or when mounted back- to-back, FxHD
supports a maximum density of 4,032 terminations in a space savings footprint of 9 cubic feet (36” x 36”).
Those deploying the FieldSmart FxHD can start with one Clearview Blue Cassette and add additional cassettes as
additional capacity is needed, up to a total of 168 cassettes and 2016 ports of connectivity. With instant access to all
cassettes, adapters and jumpers, the frame is designed as a front access frame. The FxHD can be placed against a wall,
cage in data center collocation environments or installed back to back.
User-dened Clearview building blocks congured to exact port count specications can be deployed in seconds with
Smart-Connect tool-less fasteners. Clearview Blue Cassettes simply slide into building block assemblies with a “hard-stop”
feature ensuring perfect alignment every time. Additional buffer tube/ribbon slack is stored within each cassette eliminating
buffer tube congestion, pile-up or identication miscues. The dedicated “w-shaped” intrabay route scheme ensures long
term reliability of circuits by maximizing proper slack storage of any jumper length, greatly reducing the chance of jumper
tie-in or weaving. Full length doors provide complete physical ber protection when closed and instant visual and physical
access to the entire frame when opened.
