Installation Manual
_________________________________________________________
Manual 009246 REV J - Feb 2020
With the Clearview® Cassette as its foundation, the FieldSmart FSC Cross-
Connect Cabinet uses the same components as the FieldSmart Fiber
Crossover Distribution System (FxDS) deployed in the central office. This
enables service providers to standardize on a single building block, allowing
them to stock a single fiber management component for either environment.
Technicians also have the ease of working with a single fiber architecture for
central office or outside plant deployment - saving training and installation time.
Using Clearview, FieldSmart changes the rules of fiber management. Optimal
access is ensured to all ports and superior fiber protection is integrated within
the Clearview Cassette. Through the incremental design of the Clearview
Cassette, user capacity can be scaled from as few as 12 ports to the maximum
configuration of the cabinet, allowing the service provider to align the
investment in capital equipment to the turn-up of revenue-generating circuits.
Further, labor and other field costs are minimized through this craft-friendly
layout.
The FieldSmart FSC Cross-Connect Cabinet is the complete solution for
managing up to 1,728 fibers in most any feeder/distribution ratio for an outside
plant FTTx application. This solution provides an interconnect environment from
the feeder network and the distribution field in a FTTH network.
