Outdoor Fiber Distribution Terminal 24 (OFDT-24)
The Outdoor Fiber Distribution Terminal 24 (OFDT-24) is designed to terminate, splice and
interconnect fiber optic cables in an outdoor environment. This terminal may be adapted to Fiber-
to-The-Premise (FTTP) Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) applications and is particularly suited for
garden style MDU buildings. The enclosure is mounted to the exterior surface of a dwelling and
connects the distribution cable and drops routed to individual living units. The cables meet at a
central connector field that includes termination for the distribution cable and parking for the drop
cables. The cabinet may be configured with splice trays for splicing the cable to connector pigtails.
The OFDT-24 may be pre-terminated on the distribution side with outside plant cable stubs so that
the unit is quickly connected to the plant. The OFDT-24 may also be pre-wired with pigtails on the
drop side so that individual drops routed into the unit can be spliced to the connectorized pigtails.
The OFDT-24 features a unique “swing frame” type design that separates the splicing in the rear
from the patch access in the front of the swing frame. It allows for easy connector access to the
rear connectors for maintenance and cleaning. This approach allows for a single door sealing
method, ensuring reliability to withstand long-term outdoor conditions.
The unit accommodates a variety of OSP cable types via sealed grommet entry. Cables are secured
with standard grip clamps to provide required pull out strength. The enclosure provides grounding
for metallic members and for the cabinet.
The OFDT-24 product accommodates 6, 12, or 24 living units. Distribution cable fibers are
terminated on standard SC/APC adapters that are easily accessible for service connection and
maintenance. Drop pigtails are initially terminated on parking adapters adjacent to the distribution
termination adapters and staged at the parking positions until the living units request service.
Moving the drop pigtails from the parking position to the assigned distribution fiber allows for easy
service connections.
