Application
Description
Technical Specications
When the network deployment plan calls out for an aerial
application, Cleareld’s YOURx-Aerial Terminal application
allows for the exibility to terminate a feeder ber, directly
into revenue generating drops and has the capability to
accommodate a ber cable mid-span, allowing cables to
be fully utilized while feeding multiple terminals and access
points.
Designed with many of the same features as the YOURx-Terminal,
the YOURx-Aerial Terminal allows for aerial or strand mount ber
deployment within the network architecture.
The YOURx-Aerial Terminal can accept the “hand-off” of ber and distribute up to 24 individual service drops and has the
capability to mid-span a larger count ber cable, allowing the service provider to deploy multiple terminal/access points
along the same cable run, maximizing the investment in ber deployment.
Designed for easy, craft accessibility, the YOURx-Aerial Terminal application has an upward hinging, kickstand supported
cover with four side entrance cable access ports. Two individual compartments separate the incoming splices from the drop
ports for network security. The backplane of the unit has the capacity to hold up to three splice trays, incorporating ber
management and bend-radius protection into the design. Each splice tray supports 24 loose tube or 72 ribbon splices. With
up to 24 individual drops terminated to SC of LC connectors, the YOURx-Aerial Terminal can accept all of the FieldShield®
drop options, as well as other cable drop options.
