Charles Fiber Flexibility Pedestals (CFFP) CFFP offer a scalable, low cost alternative to placing traditional cabinet-type centralized split points (also known as fiber distribution hubs—FDH) in the outside plant. Unlike metallic cabinets, CFFP are flood proof and can be installed in almost any location. Their compact size compared to large cabinets makes them easier to install and ideally suited to small communities and neighborhoods. Right-of-ways are no longer a concern and the units can be economically placed directly in the ground without the need for an expensive pad. CFFP are available in four sizes with up to 72, 96, 144 and 288 fiber counts, and in both stake-mount and vault-mount configurations. A CFFP Patch & Splice option is available for small hub applications, eliminating the need for a splice closure and grade level box. Product Features • Non-metallic construction provides superior flood-proof environmental protection • Direct buried pedestal eliminates the need for expensive pads or concerns for getting right of ways for cabinet placement • Sizes are configurable with smaller fiber counts to economically optimize fiber hub size for the neighborhood it will serve • Fiber pass-throughs are available for secure circuits or for the flexibility to extend feed fibers to additional CFFP units for expanding neighborhoods • Small profile is more aesthetically pleasing than cabinets when placed in residential areas and allows for lower freight and storage costs • Vault mount and stake mount options allow placement directly on or next to a splicing vault • Craft-friendly 360º access to internal fiber organization • Locking cover for back of connectors gives protection while allowing easy access for cleaning without moving the fiber bulkhead • Organization is optimized with specially designed 3-way bend controls so minimum bend requirements are met no matter how the fibers are routed • The CFFP is pre-stubbed and tested with feed and distribution cables in the factory • One splitter module fits all CFFP sizes • Splitter module outputs are optimally designed for CFFP units.
