Application
Building upon the restoration promise of FieldShield Pushable Fiber,
FieldShield D-ROP is a preconnectorized drop cable delivered to market
pre-placed in a 7mm microduct. The FlexConnector snaps into the FlexPort
providing an air-tight, water-tight connection between the YOURx-TAP and
YOURx-Terminal. Installed by the contractor as a single-pass deployment,
FieldShield D-ROP also provides ease of restoration. In the event of a future
ber cut, a eld technician easily identies the cut area, and utilizes a simple
coupler and a FieldShield Fiber Assembly to restore service.
Description
D-ROP cable presents the same footprint as a at drop cable with the added advantage of being restorable. Just like
traditional FieldShield microduct and ber, ber cuts are located, repaired and a new ber assembly is pulled from point
A to B with a pre-terminated LC assembly. In the event that an LC is not used, blunt ber is pulled and completed with a
fuse-on connector minimizing costs and time to restore the service outage. The FlexConnector is plugged directly into the
FieldShield YOURx-Terminal or YOURx-TAP FlexPort, providing a completely protected pathway from the access point
directly to the premise, business or antenna with the option for restoration after accidental ber cut. D-ROP does not have
the slack storage challenges that a at drop presents because the duct slack can be peeled or removed leaving only the
900um pre-terminated/tested ber assembly.
