Electrical power supply connector CFXC

Charles Fiber Cross-Connect (CFXC) pedestals offer a scalable, low cost alternative to placing traditional metallic fiber cross-connect cabinets in the outside plant. CFXC provide a convenient interconnect and testing point between the feeder network and the distribution field in FTTH networks. Unlike metallic cabinets, CFXC are flood proof and can be installed in almost any location. Their compact size compared to large cabinets makes them easier to install and ideally suited to small communities and neighborhoods. Right-of-ways are no longer a concern and the units can be economically placed directly in the ground without the need for an expensive concrete pad. CFXC are available in three pedestal diameters and five frame sizes with up to 72 (8”), 96 (10”), 144 (12”), 196 (12”) and 288 (12”) fiber counts. Both stake-mount and vault mount configurations are available. Vault mount models are ideal for locations that require splice case or slack cable storage at the same location as the cross-connect placement. The CFXC is pre-stubbed and tested with feed and distribution cables (armored loose tube, armored ribbon, dielectric loose tube or dielectric ribbon) in the factory Cross-connect bulkhead features user-specified SC/APC or SC/UPC connectors Lower cost alternative to expensive pads Small profile allows for lower freight and storage costs Sizes are configurable with smaller fiber counts to economically optimize fiber hub size with neighborhood Vault mount and stake mount options allow placement directly on or next to a splicing vault
