Product Details

The Clearfield® WaveSmart Ruggedized Splitter is the standard splitter component in its line of FieldSmart® FSC OSP Cabinets. The splitter addresses environmental and human handling issues that other standard splitters in the industry cannot combat. It provides improved fiber protection, management and maintenance in OSP FTTx deployments.

The Optical Staging Plate, the industry’s highest density product supporting ruggedized splitters in hardened environments, maximizes space for placing the optical fiber splitter legs of cabinet splitters where real estate is at a premium. Designed with performance in mind, the highly dense WaveSmart Optical Staging Plate allows for quick install and removal of splitter legs using adapters that support quick “Red Light” port testing or identification.
