CAP MX Overview
Hybrid Fiber Splice Box
The Hybrid Fiber Splice Box (CommScope PN 7693816-xx) separates the power from the fiber signals on a
hybrid fiber feed from the Classic CAN or TEN. It feeds power to the CAP MX through a composite cable that
includes both fiber and copper power wires. Fiber and copper terminate at the Splice Box, which allows you
to separate the DC wires and fiber at the remote end. For CAP MXs, you will typically use composite cable to
transport signal and power, and then use the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box to terminate the fiber at the CAP MX.

OCTIS™ Kits
All CAP MXs include one OCTIS Kit for the primary interface to the Classic CAN or TEN that CAP MX plugs into
the CAP MX Optical Port 1. You can order an additional OCTIS Kit, which would allow you to cascade two
CAP MXs via Optical Port 2, or to attach an auxiliary Ethernet device via the AUX Port.
