July 30, 2009--AFL Telecommunications' Drop Cable Storage Unit (DCSU) is designed to store and organize the slack from a fiber drop left at a Fiber Distribution Terminal (FDT). The DCSU can also be used for the organization or storage of any unused multi-fiber drop in the placing of a multi-port terminal from VATS splicers.
Manufactured with weather-resistant aluminum, the DCSU contains a keyed bracket mount that prevents twisting and can manage up to 12 fiber drops when laid flat into the raceway, with minimal slack required at the terminal. With spring-type lockable fingers to hold fiber drops and cable, no tie-wraps are required.
The DCSU is supplied with strand-mount hardware that meets Telcordia specifications. Optional hardware to mount to poles or in below-grade hand holes is available. Galvanized strand clamping devices accommodate 1/4" to 7/16" strand and meet ASTM specifications A153 and B695.
