The HST, NOVUX™ Hardened Standard Terminal from CommScope is engineered for exceptional performance in both above-ground and below-ground environments, making it a versatile solution for various installation scenarios. Designed with stringent compliance to standards such as Telcordia GR-771-CORE and IEC specifications, this 12-port access terminal ensures durability and reliability, even under challenging conditions, evidenced by its IP68 rating which offers superior water resistance. Constructed from hardened plastic and featuring UV stabilization, this terminal can withstand harsh weather conditions with an operational temperature range from -40 °C to 65 °C. With a 700 ft (213 m) dielectric flat loose tube cable included, it supports a wide operating wavelength range of 1260 to 1635 nm, making it suitable for diverse fiber optic applications. The terminal features robust connections through hardened full-size SC/APC ports, ensuring minimal signal loss, with attenuation coefficients as low as 0.30 dB/km at 1550 nm, while maintaining a high return loss typical of 65 dB. Adaptable to various mounting options, this terminal is the reliable choice for modern fiber networks that demand both resilience and flexibility.
