The CommScope HST NOVUX™ Hardened Standard Terminal is engineered for robust outdoor performance, accommodating the needs of both above and below ground installations. With its 4-port configuration and dielectric flat loose tube cable measuring 600 feet, this terminal stands out with its impressive environmental resilience, rated IP68 for water protection up to 2 meters. Designed for seamless operation under extreme conditions, it supports a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +65 °C and maintains high reliability with a low attenuation coefficient of 0.30 dB/km at 1550 nm. Featuring hardened full-size SC/APC ports, this terminal ensures optimal connectivity with minimal return loss, typical at 65 dB, making it ideal for critical communications. The enclosure, crafted from UV-stabilized hardened plastic, offers additional durability, while the compact design allows for versatile mounting options such as on handholes, pedestals, poles, or strands. The combination of advanced engineering standards like IEC 61753-1 and Telcordia GR-771-CORE ensures that this terminal is compliant with industry requirements, providing peace of mind for both installation and ongoing network performance.
