Today, Clearfield announced a new offering in fiber management that was designed to land small-count fiber terminations and optical components.

The FieldSmart Fiber Delivery Point (FDP) Wall box (xWB1) complements Clearfield’s xPAK Cassette.

Clearfield said the FieldSmart FDP-xWB1 was optimized for delivery of a single Clearview xPAK with up to six fibers. The lockable, NEMA 4-rated enclosure is a compact 9 x 12 inch design, making it ideal for a variety of applications, including harsh environment locations surrounding fiber demarcation, entrance facilities, FTTP drop boxes and cell backhaul.
