Charles Fiber Distribution Points™ (CFDP)-1

Charles Fiber Distribution Points™ (CFDP) Closed architecture fiber pedestals feature an “enclosure within an enclosure” design for superior environmental protection. Charles Fiber Distribution Points (CFDP) offer two-stage environmental protection of fiber optic loop distribution cable and customer service drops in FTTP deployments. This two-stage protection is accomplished by housing a weather-tight interior enclosure within the confines of a non-metallic buried distribution pedestal. CFDP-EPS pedestals feature an inner and outer dome, while CFDP-ELS pedestals offer an “enhanced security” outer dome and two inner compartments with locking doors. These “enclosure within an enclosure” combinations are designed to exceed Telcordia GR-771-CORE specifications and provide an unbeatable line of defense against the elements, flooding, fire, dirt, debris, insects, and corrosion. CFDP are designed to provide the user with maximum flexibility in splicing techniques. They can accommodate loop-through and stub-out distribution cable, ribbon and loose buffer tube type cable, branch and drop splices, and fiber slack storage. CFDP pedestals are available in 4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and 12” pedestal diameters, accommodating 6-24 cable drops per pedestal. CFDP make protecting fiber splices and storing slack cable as easy as 1-2-3! Central office cables are spliced to branch and drop cables within the free breathing, weather-tight interior enclosure. All cable ports are sealed by rubber grommets. The interior enclosure is sealed with a top-locking dome, creating a weather-tight seal that keeps out moisture, dirt, and debris. CFDP-EPS is shown (inner dome), CFDP-ELS (inner doors) also available A self-locking exterior dome is then placed over the interior enclosure, creating a flood barrier and an additional layer of protection against the elements. Product Features • Interior weather-tight enclosure provides mechanical and environmental protection of splice and cable storage areas • Lift-off outer dome with self-locking mechanism ensures secure attachment to the base and creates a patented “Bell-Jar Effect” that provides outstanding flood protection • Pedestal is constructed of non-metallic PVC to resist rust, corrosion, and impact. Internal equipment is protected from floods, fires, and wind-blown dust and debris • 8 D-Clips included per pedestal for ribbon fiber. Optional ribbon fiber accessories available • Flexible fiber organizer design allows splicing on one or both sides, cable management, removable bond bar, strength member clamps and bend radius controls • Two-piece “split” base makes it easy for technicians to place the pedestal without having to “squeeze” in loop-through cable, preventing bend radius damage during installation • Expanded-capacity base easily accommodates conduit bundles and increases

Enhanced-Security Option Vault Mount (CFDP-ELS) Option Ribbon Fiber Accessories All CFDP pedestals 6” and above are available in a vault mount configuration fitting on most handhole manufacturers’ lids. Add a “V” suffix after An Enhanced-Security option (ELS) is available for CFDP in diameters 6” and above. This option divides distribution and drop sides into two separate compartments. The EnhancedSecurity option is designed for those service providers that prefer to restrict access between splicers and service installers. Both compartments retain their weather-tight properties.
