Separate networks, shared premises
In an MDU, the building riser and each operator feeder cable have different roles. Without a defined handoff, adding a provider can complicate fiber routing, ownership boundaries and servicing.
ROMIE Modular MDU Fiber Cabinets
ROMIE Modular MDU Fiber Cabinets
Connect a shared building fiber network to individual telecom operator networks without mixing their infrastructure. ROMIE uses a building-side secondary module and operator-specific primary modules to organize fiber access in multi-dwelling FTTH deployments.
WHY ROMIE
One building. More than one operator.
Shared access infrastructure should not require every telecom provider to rebuild the building-side fiber termination.
A common secondary, independent primaries
ROMIE keeps the building-side module distinct from operator modules, connected through identified SC/APC patch paths. Additional operators can join the same internal building network as separate modules.
ARCHITECTURE
Two network domains. One defined handoff.
The secondary module accepts the riser from the building. Primary modules accept operator feeder fibers and can house splicing and optional splitters.
Shared building-sideSecondary module
Building riser connections and shared subscriber-side access.
SC/APC

Operator-sidePrimary module
Feeder cable, splice trays and optional splitter arrangement.
First operator: primary + secondary→Future operator: add primary module
Functional illustration based on the supplier description. Exact layout and port assignment depend on project design.
DESIGN DETAILS
Designed around installation and service access.
Each feature addresses a different stage of deploying or maintaining the fiber termination point.
01 / EXPANSION
Coupled modules
Operator units may be added below the building-side unit when additional providers join the property.
02 / INTERNAL LAYOUT
Separate working areas
Splice trays and patch-cord routing occupy distinct compartments, with an adapter bulkhead between them.
03 / ACCESS
Removable service parts
Doors, flip trays and the adapter bulkhead can be removed to simplify setup and maintenance.
04 / ROUTING
Flexible cable entry
Side, top or bottom cable access is described, with sealed gland entries for feeder and riser cables.
05 / FIBER HANDLING
Controlled bend routing
The source design specifies a 30 mm bending radius in the routing arrangement.
06 / CONFIGURATION
Finish and locking choices
Quarter-turn locking is standard in the brochure; key locks, color options and a door logo are listed as options.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Choose the module capacity before planning the patching.
The supplied ROMIE brochure documents two variants. The number of dwellings, planned fiber count per dwelling and future operator additions should determine the configuration.
MODULE VARIANT
32 fibers
Dimensions as published: 323 × 72 × 150 mm
MODULE VARIANT
56 fibers
Dimensions as published: 323 × 105 × 150 mm
The source also describes 32/56 adapter positions. Confirm fiber-count versus port-count terminology and dimension orientation in the final approved specification.

INSTALLATION & SERVICEABILITY
Access the splices without disrupting the patching area.
The internal layout separates fusion-splice storage from operator-to-customer patch-cord management. Service access is supported by removable bulkheads, doors and flip trays.
- Building riser enters the secondary module
- Operator feeder fibers terminate at the primary module
- SC/APC patch cords connect operator and building domains
- Installation accessories include splice trays, cable glands, fasteners and identification materials, subject to configuration
APPLICATIONS
Built for multi-operator access in occupied buildings.
Multi-dwelling buildings
A structured handover between apartment-building riser fibers and external access networks.
Multi-provider distribution
Independently installed primary modules allow providers to maintain distinct operator-side fiber infrastructure.
Phased subscriber access
Plan building capacity for the initial rollout while preserving a modular path for later operator additions.
DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT
Start with the building topology, not a cabinet part number.
Share the number of dwellings, intended fiber allocation, incoming cable sizes and expected operators. Fibernet can discuss the ROMIE configuration and any requested customization, subject to current availability and technical confirmation.
