Clearfield Eases Transition From Inside to Outside Plant

MINNEAPOLIS -- Another new product announcement from Clearfield is the FieldSmart Fiber Entrance Cabinet (FEC), which provides an easy transition from inside to outside plant cable. The company calls the cabinet easy to order, easy to install and easy to re-enter, and says it reduces the operational expenses of fiber deployment by  facilitating rapid service turn-up. Scalable like other Clearfield platforms, the FieldSmart FEC allows the user to dedicate 288 fibers of splice capacity and grow with ganging options as fiber needs dictate.

“Clearfield’s design team is dedicated to reducing the cost of broadband deployment,” comments Cheri Beranek Podzimek, president and CEO of Clearfield. “The FieldSmart FEC is another element of our aggressive product development efforts to give broadband service providers the tools needed to make universal broadband deployment a reality.”
