FACT ODF

CommScope FACT Optical Distribution Frame (ODF)

Modular, Scalable, and Fully Front-Accessible Fibre Management

At Cable Accessories Ltd, we supply and support the CommScope FACT Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) — a modular, high-density fibre management platform designed for central offices, headends, and data centres.

The FACT system combines scalability, front access, and compact footprint with a full range of patching, splicing, and optical component modules, making it one of the most efficient and service-friendly ODF systems available.

Built for the demands of modern fibre networks, FACT simplifies installation, enhances operational flexibility, and ensures your infrastructure is ready for future expansion.

Whether you need product advice, a custom solution, or just have a quick question — we’re here to help and happy to chat!

The FACT ODF provides a flexible, modular approach to fibre management — allowing you to add capacity, functionality, or connectivity as your network grows.

Each frame is built around CommScope’s front-access architecture, which ensures that all operations — installation, patching, and maintenance — can be completed easily without service disruption.

Key Features

Modular, Scalable Design – Add chassis, modules, or components as needed.
Compact Footprint – Install back-to-back, side-by-side, or wall-mounted.
Fully Front-Accessible – No rear access required, simplifying service.
High-Density Capacity – Up to 2,880 LC ports per frame.
Plug-and-Play Modules – FACT components are pre-terminated and field-ready.
Unified Cable Management – Colour-coded routing for intuitive operation.

Strong, Serviceable Frame Design – Durable steel structure with modular panel options.

The FACT frame provides the backbone for all FACT components. It accommodates a wide range of patch, splice, splitter, and WDM chassis, ensuring complete flexibility and efficient space utilisation.

Available in multiple heights and configurations, the FACT frame delivers both high capacity and easy access, making it the perfect platform for evolving networks.

Frame Type	Height	Width	Max LC Connections	Typical Use
Cross-Connect (CC)	2.2 m	1050 mm	2688	Central office cross-connects
Interconnect (IC)	2.2 m	900 mm	2880	Patch or interconnect applications
Splice Frame (SPL)	2.2 m	900 mm	Up to 8640 splices	Backbone and high-count fibre splicing
Compact Frame	1.8 m	900 mm	2112	Space-constrained installations

Highlights:

Full front access for every fibre connection.
Modular 30 mm “building block” chassis system.
Frame can be preassembled or supplied flat-packed.
Includes earthing kit, labels, fixings, and documentation.
Optional side panels, overlength trays, and front doors available.

Each FACT frame houses modular FACT chassis that delivers full front access and simplified fibre handling. These building blocks allow network designers to combine different chassis types to meet their operational needs.

Available Chassis Types

Patch-Only Chassis – For pure patching or cross-connect applications.
Splice-Patch Chassis – Preterminated with pigtails for OSP/ISP splicing directly on-frame.
Pre-Cabled Chassis – Factory-preterminated with up to 144 fibres, ready for fast deployment.
NG4 Chassis – Supports NG4 access modules, LC/SC/MPO adaptor packs, and value-added modules.
Splice Chassis – Supports SMOUV, ANT, or rollable ribbon splicing up to 8640 fibres per frame.
Splitter Chassis – Preloaded with 1:2 to 1:64 planar splitters for GPON and PON architectures.

Each element (1.22” tall) is 30% thinner than a standard rack unit (1RU), allowing for higher density within the same frame footprint.

FACT frames include integrated cable attachment plates and CTUs (Cable Termination Units) designed for secure strain relief and clean routing.

Supports cable diameters from 2.5 mm to 15 mm
Accepts up to 80 small cables (5 mm) or 40 cables (7 mm) per plate
Compatible with CommScope FIST-GR3 and FiberGuide systems
Optional fan-out plates, cable clamps, and flex tube kits for high fibre-count cables
