Introduction
The Telect Advanced Distribution Frame (ADF™) is a total front access modular distribution solution
engineered to effectively manage high-density ber applications and provide maximum cable routing exibility.
Equipped with posts, spools and unique arcs with wave-like ridges for grouping patch cords, the ADF efciently
manages 30 mm bend radius protection throughout the entire frame. Users can connect any two points within
the frame with a 4.5-meter patch cord; however, the ADF accomodates many different lengths of patch cords.
The document will describe the cable management components of the ADF, highlighting cable routing
applications, proper installation of a module into the ADF frame and proper installation of inter-facility cable
(IFC) into an ADF IFC module.
Telect provides pre-loaded ADF modules to accommodate many different congurations for varied applications.
For ordering information or more details on the ADF, call Telect at 509.926.6000 or vist Telect.com
