CSP FiberShear Direct Connect
A controlled shear point splice enclosure for roadside cabinets that lets a fiber drop cable break away cleanly at the cabinet base during an impact, protecting the buried cable and the cabinet equipment ports.
Technical overview
CSP replaces conventional patch cords with a direct-connect outdoor-rated fiber fan-out, removing secondary maintenance and failure-point connections inside the cabinet. CEL states the arrangement reduces circuit loss by as much as half a dB. Drop cables are supplied in 50-foot increments in 2, 4, 6 or 12 fiber configurations with pre-installed drops for splicing the interconnect in the CSP splice chamber, plus a mid-span access module for converting existing cabinets without disabling the fiber circuit. CEL contrasts this with a single fiber jumper, whose pull tension it says can range inconsistently between 15 and 200 pounds. The device is described as patent pending and made in the USA.
Features
- Guarantees a stress-free breakaway in the event of a traffic incident
- Rapid restoration with a single fixed and preconfigured emergency splice chamber
- Eliminates patch cords, redundant maintenance and additional failure points
- Easy installation with multiple mounting options
- Mid-span access module converts existing cabinets without disabling the fiber circuit
- All-in-one delivery package reduces warehouse inventory
- Patent pending, made in the USA
