YOURx-Aerial Fiber Terminal

When the network deployment plan calls out for an aerial application, Clearfield’s YOURx-Aerial Terminal application allows for the flexibility to terminate a feeder fiber, directly into revenue generating drops and has the capability to accommodate a fiber cable mid-span, allowing cables to be fully utilized while feeding multiple terminals and access points.

Product Details

Designed with many of the same features as the YOURx-Terminal, the YOURx-Aerial Terminal allows for aerial or strand mount fiber deployment within the network architecture.

The YOURx-Aerial Terminal can accept the “hand-off” of fiber and distribute up to 24 individual service drops and has the capability to mid-span a larger count fiber cable, allowing the service provider to deploy multiple terminal/access points along the same cable run, maximizing the investment in fiber deployment.

Designed for easy, craft accessibility, the YOURx-Aerial Terminal application has an upward hinging, kickstand supported cover with four side entrance cable access ports. Two individual compartments separate the incoming splices from the drop ports for network security. The backplane of the unit has the capacity to hold up to three splice trays, incorporating fiber management and bend-radius protection into the design. Each splice tray supports 24 loose tube or 72 ribbon splices. With up to 24 individual drops terminated to SC of LC connectors, the YOURx-Aerial Terminal can accept all of the FieldShield® drop options, as well as other cable drop options.
