DX-Series
Distribution Cables - Typical Termination Approach
In a Typical
Installation, DX Series Distribution Cables Will:
Allow direct termination with connectors.
Reduce Installation cost
eliminate breakout/fanout kits and tubing, splicing of pigtails.
reduce material cost.
reduce
labor cost.
Improve link budget
eliminate
splice loss.
Be used both indoors and outdoors
eliminate
splices and discontinuities.
improve reliability.
reduce cost.

DX Series Distribution cables may be directly terminated with connectors in a protective box.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, they installation simple and less costly.
900 um buffered fiber is environmentally and mechanically protected.
Cable in underground duct.
DX Series Distribution cables beat gel-filled cables by eliminating the messy added step of splicing.
Most outdoor loose-tube gel-filled cables are flammable, and must be spliced to indoor flame-retardant cables for runs into buildings.
By eliminating this complicated step, DX-Series Distribution Cables reduce labor, equipment and material cost, as well as improving system performance and reliability.
Allow direct termination with connectors.
