General Product Information

CommScope's Mini-OTE200 Multifiber Splitter Node closure is a gel sealed fiber optic enclosure designed for splicing,
termination and pass-through cable requirements in fiber-to-the-X (FFTx) architectures.
The closure is available in 4 and 8 HMFOC ports; the housing is available in 2 colors, black and gray. The terminal is designed
for use on walls, poles or handhole applications.
The closure has a maximum capacity of 40 splices, 2 trays of 20 splices each and contains an additional tray for fiber storage.
The terminal housing provides loop storage for microsheath or loose tube cable.
The Mini-OTE200 Multifiber Splitter Node allows for butt configurations with 4 wrap-around ports for multiple combinations
of looped feeder cable (Ø 4 - 15 mm) and branch-off cable (Ø 4 - 9 mm) where the feeder cables are positioned at the
outside ports and the branch-off cables at the inside ports. TENIO cable attachment is included as well as an external cable
fixation integrated on the housing to absorb external forces on the cable.
