Pushlok™ hardened connector technology is a type of connector technology that enables smaller terminals for FTTx (Fibre to the x) networks than ever before. It is designed to be used in nearly every access network environment, such as in handholes, pedestals, on building facades, or in aerial networks like pole- or strand-mount.
The small size of the terminal allows it to be placed in existing locations where space is limited. This technology also features improved aesthetics that can help with end-user adoption, particularly for façade applications.
There are two styles of terminals available, with one or two rows of adapter ports. The terminals with one row of adapter ports have the input stub on the left and 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-distribution ports on the right. The terminals with two rows of ports have the input stub on the front left and 6-, 8-, 12-, or 16-distribution ports. Each port has a corresponding release button that is actuated to remove the dust cap or drop.
The keyed ports provide an audible and physical positive feedback when installing drops, which minimizes technician variation and potential damage due to mishandling. This technology can be used to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of fibre optic networks in a range of applications.
