FieldShield StrongFiber Cable Deploy Reel Mounted in Enclosure
Due to the high variability of MDU architectures, extensive engineering has been required to ensure proper cable lengths for Fiber to the Premises deployments. The 4.5” (114.30 mm) FieldShield StrongFiber Deploy Reel minimizes pre-engineering because it allows StrongFiber to be pulled from the reel directly to the access point. Once the pullable connector has reached its destination, the connector assembly is completed with the supplied connector housings and the connector is mated to the adapter. The remaining slack on the reel is pre-stored with no further slack management required. The terminated end on the reel is pre-tested, cleaned and mated in a Clearfield® factory environment, leaving the technician to simply mate the patch cord to the adapter on the reel. The small form factor of the cable assembly and Deploy Reel allows the StrongFiber to be pulled and slack stored from the customer demarcation point. As an ISP Cable, StrongFiber reduces pre-engineering and on-site installation time for MDU and riser deployments.

Product Details
The FieldShield StrongFiber Deploy Reel is a 4.5” x 1.5” (114.30 mm x 38.00 mm) spool designed to hold up to 300 feet (91.44 m) of FieldShield StrongFiber. It has a pre-mated adapter that can easily be mounted into a small form factor fiber management element. The small form factor of the 900 μm fiber makes slack storage minimal and easy to accommodate, while the exceptional pull strength of StrongFiber makes it craft-friendly and easy for the technician to handle without fear of fiber damage. Less cable weight means reduced co-efficient of friction (COF). This results in quicker installations because there is minimal friction as the cable is pulled through bends and turns throughout the microduct route-path. Reducing the size requirements of the access point (above or below grade) provides a more aesthetically pleasing solution.
