What are the differences between single circuit and single element fibre management?
Single circuit fibre management splits the cable element into individual or pairs of fibres (i.e. transmit and receive). This isolates each individual fibre or pair of fibres from other fibres / circuits held within in a cable element by storing them in individual splice trays. Splitting the fibres into single circuit allows easy distribution of the circuit into the network and offers an excellent point of flexibility. Single element management allows storage of up to12 fibres per splice tray (i.e. 6 circuits) and increases the capacity of the connectivity equipment. Single element management offers less flexibility over the routing and maintenance of the individual circuits / fibres but an increased fibre splice density is achieved.
