New Enclosure Engineered as an Economical Alternative to Larger FTTx
Cabinets; Additional Products Expand Telect's Offering to Encompass
End-to-End Solutions
LIBERTY LAKE, Washington - Telect, Inc. recently unveiled a broad
range
of products, systems, and solutions engineered for outside plant
applications,
effectively expanding the company's product portfolio beyond its
traditional
line of central office connectivity, power and equipment housing
products.
Key to the outside plant product line is the new Telect 96-home
optical
distribution cabinet, a compact enclosure that houses patch and
splitter
capabilities in minimal space. Engineered specifically for
applications
where providers are delivering fiber-to-the-home in smaller
neighborhoods,
the compact, lightweight cabinet can be easily mounted on a pole to
deliver
fiber optics to up to 96 homes. |

"Not every neighborhood
needs a large-capacity, bulky optical
distribution cabinet," said Mark Hawley, Telect's broadband solutions
program manager. "This new enclosure provides ample capacity up front
for
most applications, and it's scalable to simply allow for growth in the
future."
Outside Plant Optical Distribution Cabinet Features Unique Stackable
Design
With Telect's new outside plant optical distribution cabinet, users
gain a fully configured solution that can be expanded as network
capacity
grows, helping to manage overall costs and maximize capex budget
dollars.
The base cabinet, which serves up to 96 homes in a space-saving
design,
features integrated splitter modules that can be installed as paying
customers request services, helping to further manage costs.
This compact system (patent pending) is ideal for applications that
deliver fiber to home developments that do not require the large
capacity
of traditional distribution cabinets. However, individual cabinets can
be
stacked to enable network growth in 96-home increments, either on top
of
each other in pad-mount applications or below each other in aerial
applications. Capacity expands up to 288 homes, providing a platform
for
significant future growth.
In addition, the cabinet's innovative high-density design enables the
use of passive splitters with ratios as low as 1 x 4 while still
maintaining 96-home output density. This helps ensure that end users
continue to receive maximum bandwidth in the home as future
applications
increase bandwidth demand. With comparable systems that only handle 1
x 32
splitters, future upgrades require additional cabinets. With the
Telect
cabinet, providers need only change out the splitter modules to a
lower
split ratio to deliver more optical bandwidth capacity to each end
user.
Additional key features include:
-- Compact footprint: Small overall size minimizes impact on
residential
developments.
-- Lightweight design: Makes it easy to hand-carry and install.
-- Stackable architecture: Enables service providers to expand
capacity to
match end user take-rates.
-- Versatile mounting: Can be used in pole-mount, pad-mount, and
vault-mount applications.
-- Enhanced safety: Emergency restoration/maintenance feed integrated
in
the cabinet.
