AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 1 Optical Connectivity Fiber Management Switchblade is an innovative fiber containment vault with a folding design that reduces shipping cost, storage space footprint and increases productivity and speed to market. The flared design maintains a best-in-class strength to weight ratio – minimizing the effects of frost heave, while optimizing internal volume. When combined with other AFL products, the Switchblade FCV-2 can comfortably hold 3,456F of spliced fibers using the Apex ® X-2 and SWR cable, or multiple TITAN RTD ® Multiport Terminals on a mounting bracket.

AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 2 Optical Connectivity Fiber Management The collapsible design of Switchblade fiber containment vaults delivers unmatched transportation and storage space efficiency when compared to traditional vaults. Freight Cost Comparison Standard 53-ft trucks can transport a total of 200 Switchblade fiber containment vaults on a full truck load (FTL). By comparison, an FTL of traditional vaults is maxed at approximately 50-100 total vaults. Utilizing fewer trucks to deliver more equipment in less deliveries contributes to increased project profitability. Fewer trucks also consume less fuel resulting in positive environmental and sustainability impacts. Switchblade ® Fiber Containment Vault VAULT TYPE WITH T15 LID FTL DELIVERY QTY MAX.
