EFDT

CommScope’s External Fiber Distribution Terminal (EFDT) is designed to provide a quick and simple solution for installing fiber in small and medium sized multi-Dwelling units (MDU’s). Utilizing CommScope’s RapidReel cable spool in conjunction with the 3.6mm internal / external 12-fiber microcable technology, CommScope is able to offer a full plug-and-play customer termination solution for in-building fiber applications.

The EFDT incorporates a unique fiber cable spooling system that stores up to 66 feet (20 m) of 3.6mm indoor/outdoor cable within the enclosure. The 3.6mm cable is supplied with a low-loss hardened multifiber optical connector (HMFOC) or MPO connector. With a single click, 12 fibers can be terminated directly to a wall box, fiber distribution hub or other HFMOC or MPO-enabled equipment - eliminating the need for fusion or mechanical splicing. The inner-end of the cable breaks out to 12 low-loss SC/APC adapter ports which enables fast, plug-and-play drop cable connections.

• Removes the need for extensive site survey inspections
• Weatherproof housing suitable for external environmental conditions
