Shop rack-mount fiber enclosures for terminating, organizing and protecting fiber-optic connections in network racks and telecommunications cabinets. Wallco offers configurable fiber housings in multiple rack-unit heights with support for adapter plates, cassettes and fiber-management hardware.
Compare enclosures by rack height, adapter-plate capacity, splice capacity, access style, cable-entry design and required fiber count.
Fiber rack enclosures provide a protected and organized location for optical-fiber terminations, adapters, patch cords and splice-management components. Configurable housings let installers choose the connection hardware required for a particular fiber system rather than relying on a permanently loaded panel.
Rack-mount fiber housings are available in several rack-unit heights. Compact 1U enclosures conserve rack space, while larger housings can support additional adapter plates, fibers and splice-management components for higher-capacity installations.
Many enclosures accept removable adapter plates or compatible modular fiber panels. The number and format of available plate positions determines which connector types and total fiber counts can be configured within the housing.
Slide-out trays and removable covers can improve access to fiber terminations and splices during installation and maintenance. Consider both front and rear service access when choosing an enclosure for a crowded equipment rack.
Fiber cables require controlled bend radius and appropriate strain relief. Select an enclosure with sufficient internal routing and management space for the entering fiber cable, pigtails, adapters and any splice trays used in the installation.
Determine the expected fiber count and connector system, then compare rack height, adapter-plate capacity, cable-entry locations and splice requirements. Allow sufficient space for clean routing and future service without exceeding fiber bend-radius requirements.
