The outdoor Patching on Demand Fiber Distribution Terminal (POD-FDT) cabinet for up to 768 end users is designed to handle fiber optic terminations and passive optical splitters in PON FTTx networks. It can also be used for Point-to-Point (P2P) applications or combinations of both. The POD-FDT is used as a demarcation point between the feeder network and the distribution network and provides quick and easy incremental installation of distribution cable terminations and fiber optic splitters. This Cabinet can handle both air-blown fiber in micro ducts, micro cables as well as drop cables, and other fiber optic cables.
The POD-FDT is intended for outdoor installations but can also be mounted indoors floor standing, or wall-mounted e.g. for use in a basement of Multi-Dwelling Unit.
The Fiber Distribution Terminal (FDT) is used in FTTH networks to connect feeder cables and distribution cables. The device can be used to fixed and protect optical cables, terminate and splice fibers, distribute and dispatch fibers, and protect other parts.
