Panduit launches innovative fibre cabinet
10 June 2022
PANDUIT HAS unveiled the new FlexCore Optical Distribution Frame [ODF], a versatile front-access cabling system that provides improved protection for critical fibre connections.

Utilising innovative cable management and simple, intuitive cable routing, the FlexCore ODF simplifies and reduces time for moves, adds, and changes. With standard doors with locks and optional locks for each enclosure, the FlexCore ODF solution enables multi-tiered security an important addition for multiple client access.
The FlexCore ODF system can manage up to 3,168 fibres per frame, making it easy to create multiple configurations using just three modular building blocks. This flexibility allows for design customisation and scalability while optimising both product availability and system density. Compared to typical data centre cabinets, FlexCore ODF can reduce floor space in a data centre by 50%. In addition, with side panels and doors with locks, the FlexCore ODF solution allows the system to be completely enclosed and secure.
"As the value of each fibre circuit rises exponentially and networks continue to densify, data centre managers who demonstrate greater scalability, agility, and resilience will gain a business advantage," stated Stephen Morris, panduit senior product manager. "FlexCore delivers on all those fronts with its unrivalled manageability, scalability, fibre circuit protection, and security features."
Panduit FlexCore Optical Distribution Frame offers multiple advantages over existing products:
- Highly intuitive cable routing paths remove guesswork and prevents ‘rip and replace’ costs
- Innovative cable management and lockable vertical cable manager doors eliminate circuit risk and downtime
