The ODF panel is mainly used for interconnection between units within sites and fits in 19” standard racks also with metric mounting pattern. The ODF supports SC-cut out type of adaptors. The unit is designed for installation of pre-terminated cables. Answer first: ODF and fiber patch panel are product and architecture roles, not universally separate device classes: select an enclosure by splice, patch, cross-connect, protection, slack, routing, density, access, growth, environment, and maintenance requirements. When setting up a fiber optic network. Rack-mount, wall-mount, and sliding patch panels for high-density fiber management — 12 to 288 ports. A fiber optic patch panel — also called an Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) — is the backbone of any structured fiber cabling system.
