AFL’s pre-terminated outside plant (OSP) terminals and hardened drop assemblies give network operators a complete, flexible path from the distribution network to the premise. They serve single-family homes, multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and multi-tenant units (MTUs). Every FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) network balances cable efficiency against installation labor differently, so AFL supports both leading deployment architectures with one portfolio. The RTD (ready to deploy) Splice Terminal family uses field-installable connectors and bulk drop cable cut to length at subscriber turn-up. Nothing is wasted, and operators don’t have to stock preset drop lengths. For the fastest possible installs, the factory sealed RTD Powered by Prodigy® and TITAN multiport terminals pair with TRIDENT® hardened drop cables. These connect plug-and-play with no field splicing, which reduces installation time and labor. Whichever architecture fits your network, AFL provides the terminals, drops and connectivity to deploy it, from one trusted supplier.

New! RTD Mini and Micro Splice Terminals

Not every FTTX (fiber-to-the-x) route needs the same terminal capacity. The new RTD Micro and RTD Mini Splice Terminals round out the RTD Splice Terminal portfolio with compact and mid-size options:

• RTD Micro Splice Terminal: 4 drops and one branch/lateral port for lower-density routes
• RTD Mini Splice Terminal: 12 drops and two branch/lateral ports for higher-capacity deployments

Both support centralized splicing and distributed splitting. They feature spreadable adapter technology and isolated cable access, and they accept standard connectors, optical components, and FASTConnect® or FUSEConnect® field-installable connectors.
