OSB technical specification 

What is OSB Optical Splitter Box

The most important and valuable issue is that OSB must be compatible with telecom industry installation standards and operation and maintenance practices. Different types of OSB are used in different parts of the world, but the technical specification of all is almost same.

OSB equipment shall be wall mounted allowing termination, splicing, storage and management of optical fibers contained within. The OSB shall employ a fiber management system such that all fibers are properly routed and secured. All points in the fiber path shall maintain a minimum bending radius of 30mm.

I have already mentioned above that The OSB shall be installed inside customer building and OSB shall be fitted with one splitter unit of (1:16), (1:32) or 2 splitter units (2 X 1:32), complete with pigtails pre-terminated at the input and output adapter panel, for connections to incoming drop cable and in-building distribution cords.

The OSB equipment shall be designed such that it can be installed and access operated when only front is available. All components of the OSB shall be free of sharp edges or other defects that may detract from the service requirements of the equipment. Installation of the OSB equipment shall require only simple hand-tools. All metallic parts of the OSB equipment shall be protected against corrosion.

OSB Design Requirements

The OSB shall be designed and built with major components and parts,I will write here everything one by one.

fiber management and easy access to all components.

Termination capacity : LC panel used for mounting LC-type adapters. OSB (1:16); 17 fiber total terminations: (1) for splitter inputs, (16) for outputs, OSB (1:32); 34 total fiber terminations: (2) for splitter 1 main + 1 spar inputs, (32) for outputs. OSB (2 X 1:32); 68 fiber total terminations: (4) for each splitter’s main + 1 spare inputs and (64) for outputs

Splice capacity : OSB (1:16); 2 units of trays, each with capacity for 24 fusion-spliced fibers per tray. OSB (1:32); 3 units of trays, e4qach with capacity for 24 fusion-spliced fibers per tray. OSB (2 X 1:32); 4 units of trays, each with capacity for 24 fusion-spliced fibers per tray.

Type of adapter LC through-adapter (supplied with end caps), securely fixed on the patch panel and Insertion loss will be 0.1 dB typical). Single mode fiber compatibility to OSB.

  3. Generally there are a handful of ways to authenticate that a bitcoin conversion web page is harmless. One is to check review sites for testimonials. One other method is to ensure the website uses https (as opposed to the less comfy http) in their URL. At last, implement a conversion service that permits two-factor identification, making certain that simply you will likely be able to confirm bitcoin conversions..   Visit this site
