Features and Benefits
OptiTip
®
MT preterminated cabling solution
Up to 50 percent faster per system deployment
Factory-tested
Quick, reliable installation
Flexibility for various network designs
Indoor and outdoor application
OptiTip MT Connector
Compatible with FlexNAP™ System, MDU terminals,
FDT stubbed terminals
Robust design keeps connector intact during instal-
lation
Integral pulling eye/connector cap designed for 100 lb
maximum pulling tension
The OptiTip
®
assembly is designed for use in outs-
ide plant fiber access networks with FlexNAP and
OptiSheath
®
MDU and Fiber Distribution terminals. This
innovative cable assembly solution provides enhanced
design flexibility, increased deployment speed and re-
duced installation cost.
The OptiTip
®
connector is the key enabler for quick
connect of up to 12 fibers at a time. The connector is
based on the field proven MTP
®
connector technology
encapsulated in a hardened package suitable for use in
any environment. A male (pinned) version and a female
(non-pinned) version are easily joined to make a water-
tight terminal or in-line connection. Factory installation
and testing ensures reliable, low optical loss on all fibers.
OptiTip assemblies are available with SST-Drop™
Outdoor Cable or FREEDM
®
Flat Drop Indoor/Outdoor
LSZH cable which allows for easy migration of indo-
or and outdoor applications. The OptiTip Asembly is
available with either pinned or non-pinned OptiTip MT
Connectors to match your network needs.
