Overview of Q-ODC connector types Q-ODC - push-pull connector for modular cell site installations Q-ODC is used by a growing number of operators who build a modular and flexible cell site cable infrastructure. The push-pull connectors allows for quick and reliable cable connections, e.g. for top-mast boxes or jumpers. Additionally, the interface is designed that it is either mated or unmated - nothing in between. This makes each installation of cell site infrastructure safe.
