Outside Plant (OSP) Fiber Assemblies

Clearfield® Outside Plant Fiber Assemblies are used in a variety of applications including DLC cabinets, PON cabinets, cross-connect cabinets and fiber termination panels. Standard OSP cable is used and the terminated end of the assembly is up-jacketed with either 900 μm or 2 mm tubing. The assembly is then terminated with the required connectors. Fiber counts can be from 2 to 288 fibers.

Product Details

Clearfield OSP Fiber Assemblies are designed to perform flawlessly in even the most harsh environments. Our process and design directly addresses failure prone areas such as the transition (where the fiber is broken out into individual units) and at the termination. We use a patented process in the fiber transition that not only protects the fiber but also ensures that no lateral movement occurs due to temperature variations. Standard breakouts are half meter and one meter. Clearfield can also do custom breakouts to meet your unique panel needs.
