"This is the latest addition to our family of ADC OmniReach Fiber Access Terminals providing our customers with a smart fiber cable management system that maximizes performance, prevents damage and allows for future growth," said Tom Kampf, vice president of FTTX Solutions for ADC. "Designed for both single-family homes as well as multiple dwelling units, OmniReach access terminals provide physical protection, long-life reliability, superior fiber management, and a unique, unobtrusive design that provides an attractive profile for residential deployments." The OmniReach 8" Non-Metallic Fiber Access Terminal is rugged in design and able to withstand extremes in temperature and conditions. The dome-style pedestals provide a continuous barrier to water and rodent intrusion, and use the bell-jar effect to provide flood protection up to NEMA NEMA National Electrical Manufacturers Association NEMA National Emergency Management Agency NEMA National Emergency Management Association NEMA Nottingham East Midlands Airport (UK) 6 standards. To achieve long-term flexibility and reliability, the fiber management inside ensures proper bend radius Bend radius, which is measured to the inside curvature, is the minimum radius one can bend a pipe, tube, sheet, cable or hose to without kinking it, damaging it, or shortening its life. is maintained, meeting all bend radius specifications. Technicians have easy access to the individual fibers they need, whether fusion spliced or connected with SC or LC connectors. These enclosures support efficient service deployment, management and technology upgrades, and include a winter drop access door and drop wire channel standard as well as grounding for armored cables and towable conduit. Removing the cover of these fiber access terminals is quick and easy -- a quarter turn with a can wrench A can wrench is a wrench made to open a telco can or demarcation point box. One end of the can wrench is a 7/8 of an inch hex socket, and the other end is 3/8 of an inch hex socket. They are often insulated against electric shock. releases the top for immediate access. These enclosures also provide excellent security with their self-locking covers, ensuring that the fiber access terminals will not be accidentally left open.
