The CentrixTM system is a high-density bre-management system for central o ces, headends, data centres, and other backbone applications that provide a balance of very high density with innovative jumper routing.

Centrix supports up to 4,320 LC or
2,880 SC connector ports per frame (17,280 LC ports per approx. 1 square meter on a quad con guration) and is o ered in a front-access cabinet that allows back- to-back con gurations or wall mounting. The cabinet design provides optimised routing paths for jumpers, reducing the risk of pileup or entanglement. When using single- bre jumper for patching, Corning recommends the use of 4 m long, 1.6 mm patch cords in a single cabinet or for groups of up to four cabinets.

The foundation of Centrix is a cassette that can be tailored to include a variety of optical devices (splitter, WDM, attenuators, etc.) providing flexibility and functionality within a single frame without sacrificing density. Each cassette contains bre-guiding elements, a splice section, and can hold up to 24 SC or 36 LC connector adapters. Easy port access is possible due to a sliding cassette with drop-down handle.
