FieldSmart Fiber Scalability Center (FSC) Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC)

Product Details

The FieldSmart Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC) is designed for the cable operator looking to separate their passive infrastructure from the electronics without the need for a traditional, and expensive, standard hub architecture. Hub collapse environments allow passive architecture to be placed in the most craft-friendly place for circuit and wavelength allocation and associated MAC (moves, adds, and changes) work - on the ground. Providing up to 120-fiber terminations using the Clearview^® Cassette and up to 32 LGX compatible CWDM/ DWDM modules, the FieldSmart Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC) separates critical active components typically protected in the node, such as Cisco’s O-Hub platform or Aurora V-Hub, and allows existing optical components to be reused throughout the network.

Clearfield’s Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC) provides a centralized location that will accommodate both optical components and fiber terminations, making it an ideal solution for service providers looking to maximize existing fibers within their network. With a small footprint (32” H x 16.78” W x 16.9” D - 812.80 mm x 1426.21 mm x 429.26 mm), real estate costs can be minimized with a variety of mounting options (pole, pad or vault mount).

Features & Benefits

Integrity

Protection

• 12-fiber Clearview Cassette protects fiber from environmental and human factors
• Rugged cable clamps protect the OSP cable breakouts from twisting and pistoning
• Patch only buffer tubes are fully protected with ruggedized bend-limiting tubing
• Snake skin sleeving provides additional buffer tube slack storage protection and manageability for patch and splice (Clearfield’s in-cassette splicing solution) configurations

Access

Investment

• Fiber is deployed in increments of 12, providing the users the ability to scale from 12 ports to full capacity, aligning capital investment with network layout or subscriber revenue
• Express ports allow for extensions or parallel networks through the cabinet
• Patch and splice configurations eliminate costs associated with jacketed IFC cabling, hand-holes and splice cases
• Eliminates building costs and permits for physical hub location structures
