DAY 2 WWW.WISPA.ORG 1 1 www.bekabusinessmedia.com Clearfield SeeChange Terminal Helps Operators Speed Fiber Deployments Clearfield Inc., a leader in community broadband fiber connectivity, announced the SeeChange Terminal and hardened connector system. The small, craft-friendly, carrier-grade, access terminal is ideal for any fiber network deployment requiring a plug-and-play approach. Purpose-built as a commercially off-the-shelf option for community broadband and 5G network operators looking to overcome industry-wide supply chain constraints and a shortage of skilled technicians, this readily available, plug-and-play terminal and hardened connector system is a cost-effective, pre-packaged solution that requires minimal training in any deployment scenario, tested to withstand even the most extreme environments. “I could author a book on fixed wireless technologies, but I know nothing about fiber,” said Rob Walker, owner of Telespan. “By teaming up with Clearfield and its new SeeChange platform, I can deliver a state-of-the-art fiber-to-the-home network to over 200 homes in Lubbock, Texas, using plug-and play-components with only my two wireless techs. “Anyone wanting an easy-to-understand and easy-to-install fiber network should consider the Clearfield SeeChange platform,” Walker added. SeeChange hardened fiber assemblies are available with either a multi-fiber MPO connector or a single-fiber SC APC connector. An integrated rear shell provides the feature that engages and fully seals a connection to the SeeChange Terminal. The connection is ideal for harsh OSP environments and is rated for installations below grade or above grade including aerial installations on strands. An MPO input port allows for four subscriber drop ports as well as an MPO Express output port that feeds downstream terminals, enabling the operator to push fiber deeper in the neighborhood. The compact size can be deployed in a variety of locations including pedestal, vault, flowerpot, pole-mount, smart-pole or strand mounted options. “Over the next decade, fiber networks will go further than they have ever gone before, connecting people and places previously unreachable based on economics and technology, said Clearfield Chief Operating Officer Johnny Hill. “Operators need solutions that speed time to market, reduce cost of deployment, and can be deployed with minimal training. SeeChange ensures that our customers can address these needs quickly and cost effectively, with a simplified solution that withstands the harshest environmental challenges.” SeeChange works alongside Clearfield’s other terminal products designed so that engineers can deliver fiber services in support of any size fiberto-the-home (FTTH), fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) or 5G network, with minimal training needed for installation and service activation. Both hardened connector styles are secured easily into open terminal ports and cleaned and inspected using a special optical probe tip, making it a complete solution for quick installations using entry level technicians. m Visit with Clearfield at booth 623 or go to the company website www.SeeClearfield.com.
