Clearfield releases new FieldSmart enclosure for Clearview xPAK

Clearfield Inc. announced the FieldSmart Fiber Delivery Point (FDP) Wall box (xWB1) enclosure for the Clearview xPAK Cassette.

APRIL 19, 2010 -- Clearfield Inc. announced the FieldSmart Fiber Delivery Point (FDP) Wall box (xWB1) enclosure for the Clearview xPAK Cassette.

Engineered to land small port count fiber terminations and optical components as conveniently as possible, the Clearview xPAK and FieldSmart FDP-xWB1 enclosure are packaged to make landing small count fiber cost-effective and efficient.

The FieldSmart FDP-xWB1 is optimized for delivery of a single Clearview xPAK with up to six fibers. The lockable, NEMA 4-rated enclosure is a compact, 9x12-inch design, well suited for a variety of applications, including harsh environment locations surrounding fiber demarcation; entrance facilities; FTTp drop boxes; or cell backhaul.

“To enable our customers to use any enclosure of their choosing, we designed the Clearview xPAK with a universal mounting bracket,” explains Johnny Hill, chief operating officer for Clearfield.

The FieldSmart FDP-xWB1 carries a list price of $19. Packaged with the Clearview xPAK Cassette, fiber installers can land small count fiber for less than $100, says a company representative.
