FTTX SolutionsRapid Multiport Service Terminal (MST)

The Rapid MST is a member of TE’s innovative Rapid OSP product portfolio, which serves to enable more efficient use of CAPEX, lower OPEX, and faster deployments in the FTTx network.

The Rapid Multiport Service Terminal (MST) utilizes a unique cable spooling system to minimize site survey requirements, streamline cable ordering requirements, and facilitate faster installation of terminals throughout the OSP.

Terminated with a 12-fiber hardened multifiber optical connector (HMFOC), the Rapid MST’s cable will plug directly into TE’s Rapid Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH) or other HMFOC-equipped solution - eliminating the need for fusion splicing and speeding network construction.

The Rapid MST incorporates RealFlex Flat Drop Cable with reduced bend radius technology, which greatly reduces attenuation caused by tight fiber bends. This allows excess cable from the MST spool to be stored in a tight coil without any adverse affects in optical performance.

The Rapid MST’s hardened adapter ports support rapid drop cable connections and provides easy technician access for troubleshooting and maintenance.

BeneFiTS• Speed: Plug-and-play system promotes rapid cable installation in the outside

plant

• Reliability: Factory terminated, full-sized hardened connectors provide superior durability and long-lasting performance

• Savings: Rapid MST eliminates precise cable measurements during site survey inspection, upfront splice labor requirements at the FDH, splice requirements at drop, and eliminates the need for expensive factory installed splice closures

• Flexibility: Unit accommodates aerial, pole, pedestal or hand hole mount applications. Connectorized solution ensures flexibility to make future network reconfigurations

• Protection: Environmentally sealed terminal, ruggedized cable and connectors perform in extreme temperatures and harsh environmental conditions

• Storage: Excess cable slack can be easily stored in small OSP enclosures

• Compatibility: Interoperability with legacy hardened connector systems

FeaTuReS and BeneFiTS

• Supports a direct plug-and-play connection to an HMFOC-equipped fiber distribution hub (FDH) or fiber box. Eliminates splice labor requirements in the OSP cabling network for rapid, low cost deployments

• Cable spooling system eliminates the need for precise path measurements; reduces the need to order and inventory multiple cable lengths

• Reduced bend radius fiber technology allows excess cable from spool to be stored in small OSP enclosures with minimal impact on optical performance

• Flexible choice in number of ports: 4-, 6-, 8- or 12 port configurations

• Factory terminated adapters provide quick, secure connections for fiber drops

• Environmentally sealed, hardened enclosure protects from moisture, UV, dust chemicals, and extreme temperatures

• Universal mounting bracket promotes pole, pedestal or hand hole installations

• Flexible choice in cable lengths: 500’ to 2000’ (152 m to 600 m)

RealFlex™ Flat Cable

TE’s RealFlex™ Flat Cables are ruggedly designed and hardened to protect from extreme outside plant temperatures, moisture and chemicals. Designed with reduced bend radius technology, RealFlex Flat Cables can achieve a bend radius as small as 7.5 mm without changing attenuation characteristics of the cable. As a result, the RealFlex Cable maintains optimal performance—even in the most constraining of installation environments. In addition to the bend radius performance, the rugged cable construction provides the flexibility and durability to withstand the most demanding outside plant applications.

Hardened Multifiber Optical Connector (HMFOC)

TE’s RealFlex Flat Cable is available pre-terminated with the HMFOC connector. The HMFOC connector promotes easy routing and termination of up to 12 optical fibers using a single, small form factor hardened connector. The HMFOC eliminates splice labor requirements in the cabling network – enabling faster, lower cost network construction.

FeaTuReS• 12-fiber, hardened multifiber connector (HMFOC)

• Plug-and-play: Requires no tools or specialized labor to turn up service

• Designed with a dual-locking feature that includes a push-pull detent engagement and twist-lock secure retention

• Lightweight, low-profile design – connectors can be routed inside tight conduit space and Telecom equipment

• Connector design satisfies the rigorous requirements of GR-1435-CORE, ISSUE 2: it meets similar reliability requirements of the SC connector

• Environmentally sealed. Designed to withstand harsh outside plant temperature and conditions

• Flexibility: Hardened connectors can be used indoor or outdoor environments

FeaTuReS• 12-fiber, singlemode hardened cable

• Reduced bend radius technology ensures easier cable routing and handling without bend induced attenuation

• Ultra-flexible cable type allows the use of smaller cable spools

• Cable end may be stubbed or terminated with HMFOC connector

• Cable designed to meet GR-20 Telcordia requirements

• Lead-Free (no heavy metals)

• Jacket colors are available as listed

• Designed for aerial, buried or conduit applications

• Water-blocking thread promotes moisture protection

• Designed for durable and reliable service connections throughout outside plant network

• Offers superior crush resistance

• Operating temperature: -40º C to +70º C
