New Fiber Distribution Hub Simplifies Provisioning with Intuitive Cable Management


Connectivity Solutions Direct LLC (CSD), a global provider of passive optical solutions, today announced the launch of its new outside plant cabinet and splitter solution for FTTH deployments. Engineered to provide high fiber density in a small footprint with industry-leading cable management, the CSD solution is ideal for both urban and rural service areas.

At the heart of the solution is the optical splitter module. This module contains the PLC device and the output adapters for a true pay-as-you-grow design. The output adapters are numbered from bottom to top so that the next port is always on top, unobstructed from the previous connection. The adapter ports are angled downward to facilitate cable management. The module can be mounted vertically in a cabinet or horizontally in a rack located in a central office.



The cabinet and splitter solution are incredibly flexible. The cabinet is designed with a total capacity of 9 RU to hold many combinations of optical devices and pass-throughs which are only ½ RU each. The modules can hold optical splitters or xWDMs and can support either SC or LC connectors.

"Zoning restrictions and permitting delays are driving the demand for smaller, less visually objectionable cabinets in outside plant applications." said Brian Berdan, Vice President of Product Management for CSD. "The challenge then is to provide density in a way that keeps the fiber organized and traceable. This solution is focused on doing just that."
