C learfield, Inc., a specialist in fiber manage- ment for communication service providers, announced an addition to its YOURx terminal product line. The new YOURx Multi- Purpose Terminal (MPT) is a craft-friendly, outside plant (OSP)-rated housing that configures to meet the business goals for any fiber distribution and drop cable network. According to the company, the YOURx MPT fits into any business model, giving the network designer the flexibility to balance labor and capital expense cost effectively. According to Clearfield, many of the new 5G small cell radio sites require duplex drop cables from the terminal out to the radio equipment. The drop ports of the YOURx MPT are large enough to accept two LC connectors through each port. Another common two-fiber application is busi- ness class services – one fiber for transmit and another for receive. Ideal for the distribution and drop portion of any fiber network, the YOURx MPT offers the options to deploy with optical component or mid-span capabilities, in-terminal splicing or for consolidation of termination loca- tions if desired. Network designers have the option to utilize the MPT features to provide patch-only, patch-and-splice or MPO connec- tors. The options for connectors, splicing and optical components support limitless configura- tions, said Clearfield. Fiber connector choice is a distinct, added advantage over traditional hard- ened fiber optic connector (HFOC) terminals. “Customers are seeking both mid-span and terminal solutions that support fiber delivery with standard connectors, low insertion loss and a cost-effective method for deploying business services and small cells” said Kevin Morgan, chief marketing officer for Clearfield. “Only providing the number of fibers needed and consolidating splicing/termination locations saves on both material and labor costs.” The YOURx MPT is cable agnostic, accepting any industry cable with a diameter of up to .70”, providing easy installation and a water-tight seal for placement below grade, in a similar fashion to a splice case. Designed to meet Telcordia GR-487 and GR-3125 speci- fications, the product can be installed on a strand, attached to a pole, attached to a wall or contained within a pedestal. The adapter plate inside the YOURx MPT can be configured to accept either 8-SC, 16-LC or 8-MPO connec- tors with the ability to mix and match connectors within the same terminal. m Visit Clearfield at WISPAPALOOZA 2019 booth #402.
