Pre-terminated Fiber Optic Assemblies are tight buffer design, offering 6 to 24 core fiber with ruggedized tails at both ends to protect the optical fiber in the demanding environments outside the patch panel or ODF and allowing direct equipment to equipment connection. Each tail length can be a unique length and up to 1.5m long. The network topology can be reduced and simplified by direct connection, bypassing wall boxes, ODFs or fiber patch panels, the end result is greatly improved fiber management.
