Hardened Fiber Cable Assemblies

TE's hardened fiber cable assemblies products provide a plug-and-play solution for connections between terminals, withstanding the rugged outside plant environment.

Preconnectorized cable assemblies simplify connections at the customer's residence. Hardened fiber connectors reduce installation time and costs throughout fiber distribution access networks.  They allow easier testing during installation, quicker connection during service upgrades, and fast access in the event of troubleshooting or maintenance. The hardened connector system is technician-friendly; they’re intuitive and easy to connect to hardened adapters on terminals or clousres, and their smaller size makes installations easier.
