The Telegärtner 100131208 is a fixed-mount optical distributor designed for use in network racks, specifically intended for connecting breakout, mini-breakout cables, and TICNET links. The device features an expandable front panel with up to 24 mounting positions and is equipped with six couplers housed in turquoise LCD/ceramic/plastic enclosures. The couplers are pre-assembled at the rear with splice-ready pigtails, which are stored in an integrated splice cassette. The pigtails comply with Grade B and are certified according to GHMT PVP Level 2, with this certification applying to the OM4, OS2/PC, and OS2/APC variants. The pigtail color coding follows VDE/IEC 0888, enabling clear identification and assignment within the network.

Applications
This distributor is intended for use in structured cabling systems within data communication environments. It is particularly suitable for integration into 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) racks and enables secure and orderly connection of fiber optic cables in server and network environments. The 5-stage depth adjustment allows flexible adaptation to different rack depths and cable routing, ensuring optimal positioning within the rack. The installation depth is 265 mm, which is sufficient for most standard rack environments.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The housing is made of torsion-resistant sheet steel with a powder-coated surface to ensure abrasion-resistant finish. This prevents contamination from metal or zinc abrasion. The enclosed housing protects against dust ingress, enhancing long-term stability and reliability of the connection. A removable cover is included in the delivery scope, allowing easy access to internal components. Cable strain relief can be achieved using cable ties, hook-and-loop straps, or cable glands, ensuring proper cable routing and secure fastening.

Technology Explained Simply
The integrated splice cassette ensures safe storage and management of fiber excess lengths and splices. Pre-installed pigtails reduce installation time and increase connection reliability, as splicing is performed in the factory. Cable entry is at the rear and supports up to two M20 and two M25 connectors, enabling flexible and secure cable routing. The use of LCD/ceramic/plastic enclosures for the couplers ensures high mechanical stability and low reflection, which is important for signal quality in fiber optic installations.

Compatibility and Accessories
The distributor is designed for use with breakout and mini-breakout cables, as well as TICNET links. The pigtails are available in OM4, OS2/PC, and OS2/APC variants, with GHMT PVP Level 2 certification applying only to these specific variants. The front panel is expandable and can accommodate up to 24 mounting positions, enabling system scalability. Color coding according to VDE/IEC 0888 supports clear assignment of pigtails within the network.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed using the fixed-mount method in 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) racks. The 5-stage depth adjustment allows adaptation to the specific rack depth. Rear cable entry with M20 and M25 connectors simplifies cable routing. The integrated splice cassette and pre-installed pigtails reduce installation time and increase connection reliability. The removable cover facilitates access to internal components.

Operational Advantages
The distributor offers high mechanical stability due to its torsion-resistant sheet steel housing and powder-coated surface. The enclosed design protects against dust, enhancing long-term stability. Pre-installed pigtails and the integrated splice cassette reduce installation time and increase connection reliability. Color coding according to VDE/IEC 0888 enables clear identification of pigtails. The expandable front panel provides flexibility for future expansions.
