YOURx-TAP
The YOURx-TAP provides a secure demarcation point between the service provider network and multiple customer environments – SFU, MDU or business. YOURx-TAP gives the network service provider both the ability to store slack fiber as well as provide a test access point (TAP) for ease of deployment and network maintenance without needing to have access to the interior of the customer premise. With the ability to accept a variety of drop cables, YOURx-TAP can be wall or pole mounted, and can be integrated into any network architecture and deployment.
How Can We Help?
Product Details
Slack storage of excess fiber has always been an issue within network design and deployment. The YOURx-TAP, with the smallest demarcation footprint in the industry, provides the ability to store up to 600 feet (182.88 m) of slack fiber storage (300 feet - 91.44 m per reel) using the FieldShield® Deploy Reel with 900 μm FieldShield StrongFiber®. This eliminates the need for having a large, bulky and unsightly box on the side of an SFU, MDU or business location, to store excess or unused fiber.
With its hinged removable cover design, YOURx-TAP is easily accessible for craft personnel to access the box during both initial service installation and ongoing maintenance. FieldShield Deploy Reels are easily installed into YOURx-TAP by simply snapping them onto the post bracket that is mounted inside the box. Each post bracket has a built-in feature that locks the deploy reel in place once the fiber has been pulled to the specified location.
Once mounted inside the box, the StrongFiber Deploy Reels are deployed by using a pull string to pull fiber from the bottom reel back through the 10 mm FieldShield Duct and connect it to the distribution/access point. Bringing fiber to the inside of the customer location is accomplished by using the top reel and pulling it to the desired location. Either 900 µm StrongFiber (with a ducted pathway) or 3 mm FLEXdrop™ fiber can be used for this internal application.
