3M™ Fiber Dome Terminal Closures
FDTC 08M and FDTC 08S Direct
Splice Drop Termination
The compact 3M™ Fiber Dome Terminal Closures FDTC 08M and FDTC 08S are
hermetically sealed fiber dome terminal closures for aerial, buried above-grade, and
buried below-grade applications. These terminal closures meet the needs of almost
anyone deploying FTTP networks.
They accommodate 4, 6, or 8 direct fusion or mechanical spliced drop terminations.
The oval main cable port accommodates two 20 mm (0.79'') all-dielectric or
armored cables. The branch splice capacity for the FDTC 08M closure is 36 single
and 108 mass fusion. The branch splice capacity for the FDTC 08S closure is 72
single and 216 mass fusion. The FDTC 08M and FDTC 08S closures are designed
for butt, single or ribbon fiber applications.
These compact terminal closures require no special tools, which may reduce
tooling costs, and allows for ease of installation and re-entry into the terminal
closure.
The terminal closures feature a fixed O-ring sealing system along with an
innovative latching mechanism. This combination provides for simple closure
sealing and re-entry.
The fiber dome terminal closures FDTC 08M and FDTC 08S utilize the 3M
External Cable Assembly Module (ECAM) built-in drop entry port sytem. The
ECAM design allows true plug-and-play capability which may reduce installation
and labor costs because the drop preparation is completed outside of the terminal
closure body. Also, the built-in drop entry system allows the technician to add and
remove drops without disturbing previously installed drops. The terminal closures
FDTC 08M and FDTC 08S are Rural Development (RUS) Listed.
