Fiber Optic Cabinets, Cables, Pedestals and Terminals

A large carrier needed access to businesses to provide broadband services, and was running into the same problem in many locations. The existing conduit was too full to install a cable that had 4-12 SC/APC connectors fanned out. Typically this would require the engineering and construction of a new pathway, an option which is both time consuming and expensive. The Clearfield solution created a better way. Using a Clearfield pre-connectorized cable with MPO connectors on both ends, FieldShield® Microduct coupled with either the fan-out assemblies, our engineers were able to get into existing conduit structures that were previously unavailable. The small footprint of the MPO allowed for it to be placed into a nearly completely full conduit, while still providing the protection and unique pathway that the fiber requires. This space-saving option allows for future replacement or upgrades without further infrastructure builds.

How did Clearfield benefit the customer?

  • By utilizing existing conduit space the need for additional engineering and fiber pathway construction was avoided.
  • By listening and responding to the customer’s need Clearfield could eliminate costly construction costs and safeguard against future fiber build outs.
  • This solution completely removed the need to inventory multiple custom made cables which could take weeks to build.
  • Clearfield’s scalable and modular product line makes changes to the fiber infrastructure a breeze. For example, if the customer needed to go from a 6 count to 12 count, the technician could simply unplug the 4 fiber fan out and plug in the 12 fiber fan-out.
  • Utilizing the Clearfield solution the order can be worked in minutes as opposed to days.
