The 72-port AMP Termination & Distribution Unit (ATDU) Patch Panel Enclosure has been designed to help "future proof" your system while allowing you to choose the level of performance you need today. AS more and more fiber is used throughout the system, AMP offers enclosures that help you manage higher fiber density at the central office, head end, and central wiring closets.

The ATDU Patch Panel Enclosure accommodates standard patching, and houses coupler and WDM modules, also available from AMP, for a complete system approach to cable management. Each enclosure comes pre-assembled with hardware that guides and protects the fiber, while allowing ample room for the installer to work. (We also offer the 72-port unit, loaded with 36 or 48 adapters, for installations requiring expansion space.)

Both standard and customized AMP enclosures are available to meet your specific requirements for fiber density, connector performance, and field installation. When you develop your fiber management solution with AMP, you can choose from basic enclosures, modules pre-loaded with adapter plates, and a variety of pre-stubbed units with cable assemblies made to your specifications.

As the world leader in electrical and electronic connection devices, AMP has the technological expertise and service record to provide you with quality cable assemblies in a performance-driven system. In line with Bellcore GR-326, AMP offers systems at tiered levels of performance, from 50 dB to 65 dB, to help meet your application and cost requirements. You can also count on the endface geometry of AMP cable assemblies, which conforms to the IEC proposal for longterm system expandability and reliability.

Each component in an AMP system is manufactured in a controlled process and tested for consistent high quality.

AMP was the first U.S. company to receive Enterprise Wide ISO 9000 certification and has also achieved ISO 9001 certification for more than 90% of its production activity. All this adds up to greater assurance that we'll deliver the quality you're paying for.

The ATDU Patch Panel Enclosure is one in a family of fiber management products designed to interconnect the communications infrastructure of today, with reliability and performance that will last into the future.
