Our QuickTreX® Weatherproof IP68 Connectorized HMFOC OptiTap® Cable Assemblies are made with the highest quality cable and components. They are designed to fit flawlessly with FlexNAP and OptiSheath® MDU and Fiber Distribution terminals often seen in fiber to the antenna or other waterproof connection installations. We start with genuine HMFOC OptiTap® connectors and precision terminate them to genuine Corning® SST-Drop™ Cable. Our termination process delivers maximum physical contact for consistently low insertion loss and excellent return loss. Our assemblies are always Proudly made in the USA and include a full test report.
About OptiTap Connectors:
The OptiTap® assembly is designed for use in outside plant fiber access networks with FlexNAP and OptiSheath® MDU and Fiber Distribution terminals. This innovative cable assembly solution provides enhanced design flexibility, increased deployment speed and reduced installation cost. The OptiTap® connector is the key enabler for quick connection of fiber optic connectors in harsh environment locations. The connector is based on the field proven SC connector encapsulated in a hardened package suitable for use in any environment. These connectors are easily joined to make a watertight terminal or in-line connection. Factory installation and testing ensures reliability and low optical loss.
The Outdoor (OSP) Gel-Filled Corning® SST-Drop™ cable used for these assemblies is rated for almost all outdoor applications. This cable is unique since it's self-supporting, meaning it can be installed aerially without a messenger wire while also being durable enough for direct burial installations. If directly burying and rodents are a concern, we do recommend using our armored outdoor direct burial cable or using a conduit for extra protection. This cable is also perfect for installations inside conduit and pathways that are subjected to wide temperature variations or secured to a building or other permanent outdoor structure. It's rugged all dielectric design makes it a popular choice for a variety of outdoor installations. If installing in conduit we recommend using at least a 2 1/2" diameter conduit to accommodate for the assembly breakout.
Standard QuickTreX® Manufacturing Features:
- Fast Custom ISO 9001 Certified Manufacturing in the USA.
- Each assembly includes a wrap around-label on both ends of the assembly which will include the QuickTreX® part number and individual serial number.
- Each Assembly includes a full test report. During our testing process all fiber ends are visually inspected with a fiberscope of 400 power or better for surface defects including, cracking, pitting, and scratches, on the glass surface of the connector. All connector ends are then tested utilizing a professional grade Loss Test Set
- The test report is saved in our database for 1 year and can be requested at any time.
- Pulling Eyes (pulling baskets) if equipped are made from super strong polyethylene mesh and feature a free-spinning buckle to eliminate twisting of the cable during the pull. Heat shrink tubing is used at: 1. Where the basket meets with the turnbuckle (pull eye hook) 2. Where the basket ends and connects with the cable jacket to prevent snags and promote a smooth pull.

LANshack: Best custom CAT8 ethernet cable on the market!
I needed a custom 55 foot S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) CAT8 indoor ethernet cable for ethernet backhaul between two Eero mesh routers. I did tons of research (including Grok) and I came across LANshack.com. They have the thickest 23AWG wire in their custom CAT8 cable vs 26AWG on Amazon (lower number is thicker; 23AWG wire has roughly twice the cross-sectional area of 26AWG). Excellent price per foot, and this cable is thick! Very quick turnaround once you order from them. I am very pleased with LANshack and I will order from them again for future projects!

Excellent Customer Service and Resolution
Tom personally reached out to me, took ownership of the situation, and worked to get my order resolved. He communicated with me directly, ensured the order was shipped, refunded the shipping charges, and provided a discount for the inconvenience.
What stands out most is the level of customer service and accountability shown throughout the process. It is refreshing to see a company stand behind its customers and make things right when an issue occurs.
I received my cable, the issue has been resolved, and I appreciate the effort Tom and his team put into correcting the situation. Based on how this was handled, I would not hesitate to do business with LANshack again.
Thank you, Tom, for your professionalism and commitment to customer service.
