The Clearfield FAC 900 Expansion Module (EXM) is an environmentally-controlled outdoor enclosure that mounts adjunct to
the base FAC 900 cabinet, allowing the expansion of rack space to the usable sealed capacity of the cabinet. You can install

The field installable EXM provides the ability to grow the FAC 900 cabinet to support rack space for:
•
migration of copper loops to fiber drops.
•
additional subscriber fiber distribution endpoints.
• additional copper line protection.
• a secondary or alternative integrated battery enclosure.
The EXM offers an ideal platform for migrating copper access services
to fiber access infrastructure and electronics, supporting an equal con
-
centration of copper protection blocks and fiber distribution frames.
Clearfield also offers an FAC 900 EXM Riser that is used when a
Battery Riser is also mounted under the FAC 900 cabinet. This is an en-
vironmentally-controlled outdoor enclosure that mounts under the base
of the FAC 900 FAC 900 EXM.
