Fiber Optic CATV Node Entrance Cables

 

Introduction:

Fiberdyne Labs, Inc. Node Entrance cable assemblies set the standard for CATV/MSO outdoor fiber optic service. Customer bandwidth demands are driving high fiber count densities in outdoor enclosures and nodes. The Fiberdyne Labs' solution provides high quality, singlemode fiber in a weatherproof, anodized, solid aluminum housing with a 5/8” rotational nut for very easy installation; Right Angle Rotational Nut Housing available; cabling does not need to be rotated during the install process. FC/APC, SC/APC, LC/APC or MPO connectors are available featuring low insertion loss and back reflection. Fiberdyne utilizes the latest polishing and test equipment with guaranteed certified results
