C2LINX
Overview
The C2LINX is a family of optical fiber distribution panels designed with superior cable
management features. Amphenol Network Solutions engineered the panel for optimal care
during handling, cleaning and inspection of fiber cables. We designed links that guide the fiber
from cable managers into the panel, allowing for improved cable access, identification and
routing.
The C2LINX series also offers more functionality and more flexibility for hyperscale network
environments. Each chassis—1RU, 2RU and 4RU—can house patch only, patch and splice,
MPO, pre-term or splitter modules. Engineers can mix and match modules within a single
chassis.
Key Benefits

C2LINX
Section One: Chassis
The Amphenol Network Solutions C2LINX chassis is a tray-based fiber distribution platform
consisting of six trays per rack unit.
Each tray holds two modules that can be mixed and matched for patch only, patch and splice,
MPO, pre-term or splitters. Doors include high-capacity designation cards.

Section Two: Modules
a. Patch
Jumper to jumper interconnect or cross-connect is facilitated by
12-fiber LC, six-fiber SC or MPO adapter modules.
Adapter modules easily snap into the trays from the front or back
of the chassis.
Duplex LC adapters have been spaced apart to facilitate easier
finger access and are aligned straight across the front of each
module. This is critical for inspection with a standard fiber
inspection scope and probe.

b. Patch and Splice
Patch and splice modules enable splicing within the C2LINX panel.
The C2LINX patch and splice module combines splicing of up to
12 fibers within a compact footprint. Pigtails are included with each
module.

c. Pre-terminated Modules
C2LINX pre-terminated modules save significant time and cost in cable deployments.
Using the LC-cabled module, for example, an installer can route a
24-fiber cable to any access tray in a universal chassis, then rapidly
terminate the module’s 24-fiber connectors using a single click, rather
than installing 24 individual connectors.
Cabled modules are available in LC and SC, single-mode configurations.
Individual adapter ports are labeled for easy identification. Two cable
options are available with cabled modules, conventional IFC or 24-fiber
microcable IFC cable.

C2LINX
d. MPO
The Amphenol Network Solutions MPO modules in
the C2LINX system can increase fiber density and
decrease your fiber footprint. With single-mode or
multimode (OM3 or OM4) versions available, C2LINX
can accommodate network planners making the
decision on migration to 40/100 gigabit ethernet. The
modules offer a 12-fiber MPO input on the rear which
are terminated internally and routed to the LC duplex
on the front. For optimal cable management, a 2 mm
MPO bend insensitive fiber should be used.
The Amphenol Network Solutions C2LINX MPO
cassettes come in either a standard type A polarity
method or method B with the polarity flipped inside
the modules. Method A uses straight-through type A
backbones (pin1 to pin1) and type A (key-up to key-
down) MPO adapters. Method B uses cross-over
type B backbones (pin1 to pin12) and type B (key-up
to key-up) MPO adapters. However, the type B adapters are used differently on the two ends (key-
up to key-up versus key-down to key-down), which may require more planning effort and/or
potential expense initially.

e. Splitters
Splitters are passive devices and an integral, widely used component in most fiber optic networks.
Amphenol Network Solutions splitter modules provide fiber optic networks with vast configurability
and flexibility. Fiber optic splitters alone enable a signal on an optical fiber to be distributed among
two or more fibers. Capitalize on this by housing them on the Amphenol Network Solutions C2LINX
high-density optical distribution panel and a market-leading number of splitters that can be loaded
on to 1RU, 2RU and 4RU panels.
