Fibre Management
The Evolant® MAX system can be used with either single circuit (SC) or single element (SE) trays or a mixture of both, in accordance with the network requirements. Corning recommends the usage of SC trays. In a single element network, the fibres from one buffer tube are always stored in one single splice tray. Most network operators are still using 12 fibres per tube. In addition the fibres from up to 6 individual customer drop cables are also guided to one single splice tray. In this case, if maintenance is later required then all the fibres must be taken out of the splice tray. Also, even though the maintenance work may only involve one customer, it can affect the other customers' connections too. With SC systems this entire risk is eliminated by only using 1 customer per splice tray.
