APACN's Fiber Distribution Systems (FDS) are high density, easy access fiber distribution frames and panels. The FDS is intelligently designed to provide superior cable management including easy fiber access, reduced installation times, guaranteed bend radius protection and improved traceability. The product-line fully supports a wide range of panel configurations, densities, connectors, and adapter options and is offered alongside a wide range of optical components that can be utilized on a stand-alone basis or integrated into the panel system. The FDS is ideally suited for high-density broadband and enterprise connectivity applications.

The APACN's Fiber Distribution Systems consists of 3 basic form factors:

• F23 "23 inch" Panels and Frames
  - Intended for "high density" applications
• 288-port panel for the highest density applications
• F19 "19 inch" Panels and Frames
  - Intended for mid-to-high density applications
• FW wall-mount Panels
  - designed for low density applications

Features and Benefits
