STAR 1U-FX

The MPF2864 is an optional protective panel accessory for the STAR 1U-FX, ordered separately. It shields the front of the frame and its patch cords – useful in shared or high-traffic spaces where the enclosure is exposed.

Yes. The STAR 1U-FX supports bend-insensitive OM3, OM4 and OM5 multimode fibers per IEC 60793-2-10:2019, as well as single-mode G.657.A2 – making it ready for wideband multimode applications such as SWDM.

Short-depth ODFs are used wherever rack depth is constrained: wall-mount cabinets, shallow network racks, office communications rooms, edge sites, retail and branch installations, and telecom closets. The STAR 1U-FX brings data-center-grade fiber density and management to these environments.

Depth. The STAR 1U-FX is only 238 mm (9.37 in.) deep – less than half the depth of the standard STAR 1U (488.8 mm). It uses the same tool-less STAR modules and sliding-tray system, so it brings the same modularity and interchangeability to shallow racks and cabinets where a full-depth ODF simply does not fit.

The STAR 1U-FX is a short-depth 1U optical distribution frame designed for high-density data center fiber distribution. The supplied datasheet specifies two trays, eight STAR module positions and front, side and rear access.

The datasheet lists a total of 8 modules, and the mechanical drawing title also states that the 1U fixed 19-inch panel supports up to 8 modules.

The published specification lists two trays.

The introductory text states a maximum capacity of 96 fibers, while the specification table lists configurations of 144 fibers and 48 MTP ports / 576 fibers. This source conflict should be resolved by Fibernet Engineering before a definitive maximum is published.

The mechanical drawing shows a depth of approximately 238.3 mm, making it a short-depth 1U platform compared with deeper data center fiber enclosures.

Yes. The datasheet states that front and rear access panels enable insertion and removal of modules, while the features section also references front, side and rear access.

Yes. The datasheet states that bend-insensitive Uni-Boot patch cords can reduce front cabling volume by up to 50% compared with duplex patch cords.

The datasheet lists 12 trunk cable positions with strain-relief clips for secure mounting.

The mechanical drawing shows 43.7 mm height, 482.0 mm overall 19-inch rack width and 238.3 mm depth. The datasheet lists a 442 mm enclosure width and 238 mm depth; the drawing distinguishes the chassis from the rack ears.

The supplied datasheet identifies data centers, high-density environments, storage area networks, communications rooms and data communication networks.
