A fiber distribution system includes a fiber distribution frame. A door is connected to the frame to open and close relative to the frame. A first actuator is associated with the door and a second actuator is associated with the frame. The actuators engage one another upon actuation to lock the door to the frame when the door is closed relative to the frame. A controller remotely controls actuation of the actuators.

System having centralized control of actuators associated with a fiber distribution frame to remotely control access to the fiber distribution frame

A fiber distribution frame arrangement includes a fiber distribution frame. Fiber optic component panels are housed within the fiber distribution frame at respective positions. Doors are connected to the fiber distribution frame for the doors to open and close relative to the fiber distribution frame. Each door corresponds to one of the fiber optic component panels such that the door opens and closes relative to the corresponding fiber optic component panel when the door opens and closes relative to the fiber distribution frame. Actuators corresponding to the doors are positioned on the corresponding doors in order to lock the corresponding door to the fiber distribution frame upon actuation when the corresponding door is closed. A cable extends between each actuator for connecting the actuators together. A controller communicates with the actuators via the cable in order to control actuation of the actuators and monitor actuation status of the actuators.
