FTTX Solutions Rapid Flexible Fiber Box
With External Spool
Quick Reference Guide
TECP-90-614 · Issue 4 · November 2016
The Rapid Flexible Fiber Box (Rapid FFB) with external spool provides a RapidReel cable system in a compact metal
cabinet. The external spool versions of the Rapid FFB are equipped with internal and external spool assemblies that
together can hold up to 1000 feet of Indoor/Outdoor (I/O) cable. Both a 12-fiber option (one cable) and a 24-fiber
option (two cables) are available. The external end of each I/O cable is either stubbed or terminated with an
MPO connector. The internal end of each I/O cable is secured to a splice tray or connected to sliding adapter packs
(LC or SC). At installation, the I/O cables are unwound and routed to the feeder interface. The splice tray or sliding
adapter packs provide the drop side interface. The following drawings show the Rapid FFB configurations.
