The MFPS is available in several series (HD, ED, and XD), each optimised for performance and space efficiency. Within a standard 19” or ETSI frame, MFPS achieves industry-leading fibre density while maintaining excellent accessibility and controlled bend radius management.

Series Height (RU) Adapter Type Fiber Capacity Density Class
MFPS-48 (HD) 1RU SC / LC 48 SC / 96 LC High Density
MFPS-72 (ED) 2RU LC 144 LC Enhanced Density
MFPS-96 (XD) 3RU LC 288 LC eXtreme Density

Up to 288 LC ports in only 3RU — twice the capacity of standard patch panels

Increased LC capacity (by 50%) within the same footprint

19” or ETSI rack compatible — perfect for PoP or ODF installations

The MFPS is available in multiple configurations, each optimised for specific applications:

Splice/Patch Configuration

  • Delivered with 900 µm pigtails, ready for splicing to distribution cables.
  • Overtubing protects and routes fibres from cable entry to trays.
  • Single-element management (12 fibres per tray) ensures organised routing and strain relief.
  • Supports controlled 30 mm bend radius to protect all live fibres.

Patch/Patch Configuration

  • Delivered with adapters only, ideal for cross-connect or interconnect applications.
  • Front patch access allows fast reconfiguration without opening trays.
  • Integrated overlength storage for clean, organised patch cord management.

Splitter or Hybrid Versions

  • Optional planar splitters (1:2–1:64) pre-installed in modular trays.

Enables compact PON or GPON patching and distribution within the same frame.

The MFPS splice trays use an innovative tray-in-tray design that provides:

  • Two independent layers of 12 fibres each (24 fibres per tray).
  • Upper tray hinges open, revealing the lower layer for easy access.
  • Each drawer holds up to 4 trays (96 fibres total).
  • Single-element splicing ensures no mix-ups or fibre strain.

This design provides excellent fibre visibility and hand access while maintaining consistent bend control.

The MFPS was engineered to allow maintenance and inspection without service interruption.

Its layered drawer structure and isolated motion protect all adjacent fibres during operations.

  • No service disruption when opening drawers or cleaning connectors.
  • Each drawer operates independently — no fibre motion in other trays.
  • Controlled patch cord routing prevents strain on active connections.
  • Full front access eliminates the need to reach behind the frame.

Technicians can open, inspect, or clean any port without affecting adjacent live fibres — a crucial advantage in active network environments.

The MFPS is designed to simplify every aspect of field deployment:

  • Wrap-around frame and click-on cable brackets for fast installation.
  • Easy tube routing through dedicated cable channels.
  • Controlled fibre motion ensures repeatable, safe operations.
  • Full port-level identification — labelling on rows, drawers, and cable elements.
  • Door label documentation for tracking patching operations.
  • Front patch cord support lip to prevent cord interference between drawers.

Together, these features make MFPS one of the most intuitive and operator-friendly patching systems available.

  • FTTx and FTTH Access Nodes
  • Central Offices and Headends
  • POP Cabinets and Street Cabinets
  • Enterprise and Campus Backbone Networks
  • Data Centres and Fibre Aggregation Points
