What typical port densities would you expect on MCC and ICC in a medium CRCF?

The idea being tested is scalable, modular port density for cross-connect facilities. In a medium CRCF, the MCC and ICC are designed to handle a substantial but flexible number of terminations. You’ll typically see hundreds of ports spread across several panels, organized into modular blocks or cassette-style modules. These modules can be added, removed, or reconfigured as the network grows or changes, allowing expansion and re-patching without replacing the entire cabinet. This approach supports ongoing growth, changes in circuit counts, and different fiber types or services, while keeping the system tidy and manageable. A setup with only a few dozen ports on a single panel would hit capacity quickly, and a design with thousands of ports and no expansion would be rigid and impractical for a medium CRCF. Similarly, one panel only cannot provide the necessary capacity and future-proofing.
