The DLX® Mini-MST from CommScope is an advanced Fiber Optic Multiport Service Terminal designed to meet the demands of modern communication networks. This 8-port solution features plug-and-play adaptor ports, allowing for swift and efficient cable installation in outdoor environments. With hardened connector technology, the terminal is equipped to endure the challenges of harsh outdoor conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance through factory-terminated and environmentally sealed components ideal for optical drop cable deployments. Conforming to various qualification standards, including IEC 60529 IP68, this terminal can withstand both water exposure and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C. The enclosure is constructed from gasketed hardened plastic, providing robust UV resistance and making it suitable for diverse environmental applications, whether above ground, buried, or in handholes. Its performance metrics, including a typical insertion loss of 10 dB for the splitter and a minimum return loss of 65 dB for connectors, confirm its reliability and efficiency as a versatile component in fiber optic networks.
