Technical Specifications
The CraftSmart Test Access Point (TAP) Box gives the service provider
an accessible exterior access point to test fiber integrity before it enters
the customer premise. This solution allows the service provider the ability
to identify potential issues in conductivity from outside of the customer
premise location.
The CraftSmart TAP Box is a two part closure that will accommodate
up to four fibers for test and access purposes. The base of the unit
will allow up to four splices from the feeder cable to individual drops
into the customer premise. Duplex SC adapters allow for installation
of pre-terminated or field terminated fiber to be connectorized for test
and access of the fiber - to determine feeder and drop issues.
Two grommeted in/out ports on the bottom of the unit provide easy installation of both feeder and drop cables.
The unit is lockable to minimize customer tampering. There are grounding options available inside the TAP Box
that will allow grounding of the feeder and drop cables. It also has built in access to exterior grounding built into the unit.
Multiple mounting options are available to meet all applications. The TAP box is available with private labeling on the
front cover to easily identify service provider’s identification.
