What Is A Fiber Channel?
Optical fiber channel (also called as optical fiber cable trough or optical fiber cable trough) is a cable trough specially made for optical fiber wiring. It is light in weight, strong in load capacity, compact in structure, and good in expandability. It is generally used in indoor optical fiber wiring environments in.
Fiber Channel Features
1. Able to reasonably lay cables and make the wiring environment neat and beautiful;
2. Modular design, smooth and neat cutting surface, safe and convenient installation;
3． Light weight and strong ability to withstand impact loads;
4． Enclosed or semi-enclosed design can protect the optical fiber from damage;
5. Various shapes of optical fiber channels to meet various wiring needs and flexible configuration;
6. With anti-aging, impact resistance, mechanical properties, flame retardant and so on.
Application of fiber channel
The flexible wiring of optical fiber channels can meet various wiring requirements, and can be used in data centers, wiring closets, telecommunications rooms, and computer rooms in petroleum, chemical, office, steel, and factory industries.
Type of fiber channel
Optical fiber channels are classified into linear, tee, four-way, horizontal 90 ° elbow, 45 ° upward, and 45 ° downward optical fiber channels according to their shapes (usage scenarios).
Fiber channel installation
There are many types of optical fiber channels. The installation methods are as follows:
1. Ceiling installation
The ceiling installation method is suitable for long-distance fiber optic patch cord wiring without equipment or support points in the middle. This method is not limited by the location of the equipment and can be flexibly routed, but the prerequisite is that the ceiling can withstand the weight of the fiber channel.
2. Wall-mounted installation
The wall-mounted installation method is suitable for long-distance, no-equipment or support points in the middle, and the wiring environment close to the wall.
3． Top-mounted installation
The top-mounted installation method is suitable for parallel wiring environments such as multiple distribution frames or racks. The optical fiber channel is fixed by using the mounting holes at the top of the distribution frame or rack and the fiber channel bracket.
