CommScope's mantra is to push what's possible. That's what the company is doing at Fiber Connect 2018 in Nashville when it gives attendees a sneak peek of its FACT™ optical distribution frame (ODF) – shown for the first time in the Americas. The CommScope team will display the flexible, high-density frame at Booth #817.

"After success in other regions of the world, we are bringing the convenience of the FACT ODF to North America and the CALA region in the next couple of months," said Erik Gronvall, vice president of strategy and market development at CommScope. "It has full front access for frames that need to go up against the wall in a central office or data center with little floor space. Technicians don't have time to move full panels to change or install from the back, especially when there's not a lot of space. This allows easier access to get the job done faster. It's as simple as that."
Besides the front panel access, the FACT ODF has translucent blue fiber protection lids for simple cable routing. Company testing shows the snap-on, tool-less design can cut installation in half and enable technicians to keep pace with their network as it grows and evolves over time.
CommScope's expertise goes beyond the booth. The company's authorities on wireless and wireline convergence, 5G and fiber will be speaking at the show:
