FDF (Fiber Distribution Frame) refers to the rack or bay lineup that contains the
fiber optic cross-connect. Typically the highest density of fibers are routed from
this location. Network Element Bays refers to the bays that contain the network
equipment that the fiber optic jumper cables are routed to.
Typically used to create a physically redundant pathway
in central offices or high reliability data centers, this
design also provides more routing flexibility and
reduces cable congestion. A larger, higher capacity
channel forms a perimeter around the FDF and
Network Element Bays areas to provide a diverse route
for cables leaving the FDF. Smaller channels are used
to create pathways between the main runs allowing
access to the individual equipment bays.
