This is a modular tray system for the entire network, from the main distribution frame to the building entry point. The SCM system allows for standard fiber and subscriber connection management. It is compatible with current FTTH market strategies, such as Point-to-Point (P2P) or Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) and Open Access, as well as future high-power and xWDM applications for ultra-broadband networks. R&M will begin marketing the SCM system range this spring.
The SCM system is based on a small group of components that can be assembled without tools using a quick-assembly technique.
The expandable module support, with integrated fiber conduits, acts as the backbone.
The trays are press-fitted to provide splicing, connection, and branching functions as needed. This allows network operators to flexibly and immediately expand their FTTH infrastructure or adapt it to specific requirements.
It's possible to move from one tray to another in the module holder just like in a card file. Each tray can also be assigned to a street, for example, or to a building, dwelling, or subscriber. Ample space for interchangeable labels, numbering, and color codes further simplifies the management of large numbers of fibers. With a simple flick of the wrist, individual subscribers can be connected and managed.
Its large bending radius, up to 40 mm, is one of the most remarkable features of the SCM family. Trays, modules, and cable storage surfaces have been designed so that fibers do not need to be bent beyond this limit. The bending radius is maintained even in the smallest unit, the Venus Box FLA home junction box, as well as at fiber crossings. This stress-free radius minimizes attenuation losses and facilitates handling during installation. As a result, the R&M SCM system lays the foundation for optimal performance in future high-capacity and xWDM applications.
The SCM range has been created for ultra-dense fiber optic infrastructures. The three tray types can be equipped with six or 24 fibers and feature retractable or push-fit mounting and 1:32 splits. When SCM is combined with R&M's Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) system, it is possible to manage up to 2,304 fibers in a single distribution structure. The R&M splice box for precise underground distribution at the end of the cable run can accommodate up to 96 trays or 1,152 splices. The Venus Box FLA for building entry points can accommodate up to 144 fibers and splices when combined with the SCM system. The SCM system is suitable for all commercially available cables and fibers.
Multi-function splice trays are the most important elements of R&M's Single Circuit Management (SCM) system. The SE tray can be perfectly combined with 24-fiber loose-tube cables.

The R&M splice box for precise underground distribution in the final section can accommodate up to 96 Single Circuit Management system trays or 1,152 splices.
'
The Venus Box FLA building entry point can accommodate up to 144 fibers and splices, and an equivalent number of fiber-connected subscribers when combined with the SCM system. It has space for excess cable. Its compact design also supports loop installations. The rugged Venus Box is weatherproof, dustproof, and splashproof to IP54 standards.
