66 Vol. 43 No. 4 - November 2021 Issue As part of theOpenreach collaboration, 30-50 CommScope manufacturing engineers will assemble connectorised block terminals, the fibre connection point where individual fibres connect to a premises’ main fibre cable. These can be found on top of a telephone pole or within a chamber in the ground. Openreach is building full fibre faster, at lower cost and higher quality in Britain than any other company, having made the technology available to more than 4.8 million homes and businesses so far. NOVUX is what’s next in the fibre evolution NOVUX closures and terminals are available in the widest variety of sizes and technologies, including single- and multi-fibre splitters, wavelength-division multiplexing, fibre indexing and optical tap configurations. They’re designed to adapt to the application—sharing connection capabilities, a unique product information system, a mounting platform and customer configurability. One terminal works for all applications in all deployments. Built-in mounting tabs and a mounting strap feature allow easy, direct mounting onto a strand, flat surface, pole or pedestal, or within a hand hole. Alternatively, to ease installation and maintenance, CommScope’s universal mounting bracket can be used in all mounting applications. With one common platform, installation across the series is easy and efficient and is backed by consistent documentation and training. Each NOVUX hardened terminal comes with a QR code that allows field installers to access CommScope’s cTrak® app. With one click, cTrak provides a wealth of product information, specifications, installation instructions, videos, schematics, and test results. An optional customer-configurable ID plate provides clarity for multiple service providers that share locations. In addition, the NOVUX portfolio is built with sustainability in mind. CommScope designed NOVUX using sustainable practices for packaging, labelling and installation—helping service providers meet their own corporate sustainability goals. All components come in compact, convenient packaging and minimise single-use plastic for optimal environmental benefit. CommScope is developing more closures and terminals in the NOVUX fibre connectivity portfolio, and this will give service providers the ultimate package in configurability, scalability and simplicity. products S P O N S O R E D C O N T E N T For more information, see www.commscope.com
