Closed
architecture fiber pedestals feature a weather-tight “enclosure within an enclosure”
design for superior environmental protection.

|
Charles
Fiber Distribution Points (CFDP) offer two-stage environmental protection
of fiber optic loop distribution cable and customer service drops in FTTP
deployments. This two-stage protection is accomplished by housing a
weather-tight interior enclosure within the confines of a non-metallic
buried distribution pedestal. Together, this “enclosure within an
enclosure” combination is designed to exceed Telcordia GR-771-CORE
specifications and provide an unbeatable line of defense against the
elements, flooding, fire, dirt, debris, insects, and corrosion.
CFDP are designed to
provide the user with maximum flexibility in splicing techniques. CFDP can
accommodate loop-through and stub-out distribution cable, ribbon and loose
buffer tube type cable, branch and drop splices, and fiber slack storage.
CFDP models may be ordered with an optional bulkhead for pre-connectorized
drops.
CFDP are available in 4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and
12” pedestal diameters, accommodating up to 24 cable drops.

CFDP make protecting
fiber splices and storing slack cable as easy as 1-2-3!
 |
 |
 |
| 1) Central office cables
are spliced to branch and drop cables within the free
breathing, weather-tight interior enclosure. All cable ports
are sealed by rubber grommets. |
2)
The interior enclosure is sealed with a
top-locking dome, creating a weather-tight seal that keeps out
moisture, dirt, and debris. |
3)
A self-locking exterior dome is then placed over
the interior enclosure, creating a flood barrier and an
additional layer of protection against the elements. |
|
Product Features |
|
- Interior
weather-tight enclosure provides mechanical and environmental
protection of splice and cable storage areas
- Lift-off
outer dome with self-locking mechanism ensures secure attachment
to the base and creates a patented “Bell-Jar Effect” that
provides outstanding flood protection
- Pedestal
is constructed of non-metallic PVC to resist rust, corrosion,
and impact. Internal equipment is protected from floods, fires,
and wind-blown dust and debris
- Distribution
cable side of splicing backboard includes cable storage
compartment, cable management guides, ground wire posts, and
strength member clamps
- Customer
drop side of splicing backboard features a splice tray basket
that holds trays with a 4”x10” or smaller footprint, and has
cable management guides for slack storage
- Two-piece
“split” base makes it easy for technicians to place the
pedestal without having to “squeeze” in loop-through cable,
preventing bend radius damage during installation
- Expanded-capacity
base easily accommodates conduit bundles and increases stability
in all soil types
- Optional
ribbon fiber kit available

Enhanced-Security Option
An Enhanced-Security option is available for CFDP in
diameters 6” and above. This
option divides distribution and drop sides into two separate
compartments. The Enhanced-Security option is designed for those
service providers that prefer to restrict access between splicers
and service installers. Both
compartments retain their weather-tight properties.
|

|
Bulkhead
Option
All CFDP can be equipped with a bulk head panel
for pre-connectorized cable connections on both the distribution and
drop sides of the interior enclosure.
Please contact Charles for more information about available
bulkhead configurations and connector types. |

Notes:
* CFDP pedestals ship with one (1)
4"x9" or 4"x12" splice tray included.
** Maximum splice capacities shown are
for cable-to-cable splices. Overall splice capacity is reduced as
drop splices are introduced. For drop splices, Charles recommends
using a 12 Fiber Tray with a Maximum of 6 drops per tray.
*** Capacities shown achieved using
FOSC A/B Fiber Ribbon Tray(s).
