Fiber Hub – Fiber Flexibility Pedestals (CFFP)

The economical alternative to placing Fiber Distribution Cabinets at Local Convergence Points

Broadband Equity Access & Deployment Program (BEAD) and Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) compliant*

Charles Fiber Flexibility Pedestals (CFFP) offer a scalable, low cost alternative to placing traditional cabinet-type centralized split points (also known as fiber distribution hubs—FDH) in the outside plant. Unlike metallic cabinets, CFFP are floodproof and can be installed in almost any location. Their compact size compared to large cabinets makes them easier to install and ideally suited to small communities and neighborhoods. Right-of-ways are no longer a concern and the units can be economically placed directly in the ground without the need for an expensive pad. CFFP are available in four sizes with up to 72, 96, 144 and 288 fiber counts and in both stake-mount and vault-mount configurations.

A CFFP Patch & Splice option is available for small hub applications, eliminating the need for a splice closure and grade level box.

Features and Benefits

Flexibility
Fiber pass-throughs are available for secure circuits or for the flexibility to extend feed fibers to additional CFFP units for expanding neighborhoods

The CFFP is pre-stubbed with feed and distribution cables that are factory tested

One splitter module fits all CFFP sizes for ordering and stocking ease
Economic
Lower cost alternative to expensive pad; Small profile allows for lower freight and storage costs

Sizes are configurable with smaller fiber counts to economically optimize fiber hub size with neighborhood
Installation Mounting
Vault mount and stake mount options allows placement directly on splicing vault or more economical placement in the ground next to the vault

Organization is optimized with specially designed 3-way bend controls so that minimum bend requirements are met no matter how the fibers are wrapped around them
Technician Friendly Features
360º access for fiber organization allows freedom of movement for craftsperson so fiber housekeeping is not a chore

Protective locking cover for back of connectors gives protection while allowing easy access for cleaning without dangerously moving fiber bulkhead

Splitter module outputs are optimally designed for CFFP units. Minimizing leg lengths makes fiber housekeeping easier
Material Specification
Non-metallic PVC construction won’t rust, corrode, chip or fade
Environmental
Flexible placement is enabled by the proven environmental protection of the flood-proof Pedlock series of non-metallic pedestals. The CFFP can be placed in flood prone areas if needed where cabinets cannot be placed
