Charles Industries, LLC Fiber Cross-Connect Pedestal CFXC

Charles Fiber Cross-Connect (CFXC) pedestals offer a scalable, low cost alternative to placing traditional metallic fiber cross-connect cabinets in the outside plant. CFXC provide a convenient interconnect and testing point between the feeder network and the distribution field in FTTH networks. Unlike metallic cabinets, CFXC are flood proof and can be installed in almost any location. Their compact size compared to large cabinets makes them easier to install and ideally suited to small communities and neighborhoods. Right-of-ways are no longer a concern and the units can be economically placed directly in the ground without the need for an expensive concrete pad. CFXC are available in three pedestal diameters and five frame sizes with up to 72 (8”), 96 (10”), 144 (12”), 196 (12”) and 288 (12”) fiber counts. Both stake-mount and vault-mount configurations are available. Vault-mount models are ideal for locations that require splice case or slack cable storage at the same location as the cross-connect placement.
