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.
