Original Press Release:
Corning Cable Systems Expands OptiSheath(TM) MultiPort Terminal Family
New 6-/8-port terminal with welded design ensures incremental connection of drop cables in FTTx networks
HICKORY, N.C. - Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, introduces a new addition to its OptiSheath(TM) MultiPort Terminal product family. The MultiPort Terminal will be available in a 6-/8-port housing size, complementing the current 4- and 12-port versions.
The OptiSheath MultiPort Terminal is designed for use in outside plant fiber access networks. The innovative terminal provides sealed environmental protection and fast, easy incremental connection of subscriber drop cables to increase deployment velocity. Its reliability and flexibility make it ideal for network access point terminals in FTTH deployments.
MultiPort Terminals contain an integrated preterminated cable stub, which is available in increments of 25 ft and in both dielectric and toneable cable designs. The stubbed terminal provides the ability to consolidate cable access points by routing several terminal stubs to a single splice location. This increases workforce efficiency and reduces the overall installation time required to connect customers.
The terminals, which feature an induction welded seal for enhanced security, are ideal for installation on strands, walls, or poles, or for underground use in pedestals or handholes. The new 6-/8-port terminal has rounded surfaces for improved impact performance. Corning Cable Systems' OptiSheath MultiPort Terminals utilize OptiFit® Cable Assembly connector ports for customer drop terminations.
The OptiSheath MultiPort Terminals will be featured in Corning Cable Systems' booth (#4440) at NXTcomm 2007, June 19-21 in Chicago.
