FieldSmart FiberFlex 1700 small footprint fits
perfectly into fiber expansion plans
Clearfield, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLFD), the leader in community
broadband fiber connectivity, today announced the FieldSmart®
FiberFlex 1700 active cabinet, an all-in-one design capable of
integrating fiber, power, and active equipment that is tailored to
fit into any outdoor plant scenario. Designed to be configured for
numerous applications including remote OLTs with PON distribution,
wireless base stations with fiber backhaul aggregation, edge
compute server support, or active network equipment with backup
power needs, the FiberFlex 1700 utilizes a flexible, vertical
layout and modular design that allows for seamlessly scaled
networks as future growth dictates.
Clearfield’s FiberFlex 1700 active cabinet provides from 12 to
432 internal fiber distribution ports for subscriber PON
deployments, along with complementary splitter capacity, ideal for
supporting greenfield fiber builds, rural network expansion, and
other deployments supporting new markets with room to grow. The
FiberFlex 1700 active cabinet accepts local AC power via the
integrated AC Load Center with generator plug for backup power. The
cabinet’s small, 4-foot-high size makes it ideal to provide a
right-sized cabinet to meet a reduced height requirement that
overcomes permitting and rights-of-way challenges.
“Our fiber first, labor lite design makes the FiberFlex 1700
active cabinet easy to integrate into any fiber deployment, whether
it’s an MSO that is expanding its footprint or the community
broadband operator leveraging BEAD funding to reach the underserved
and unserved,” said Johnny Hill, Chief Operating Officer at
Clearfield. “The applications that require fiber are growing
exponentially, inside the smart home, as well as 5G backhaul and
fronthaul, middle mile applications, and the emerging Edge compute
market. Delivering an easy-to-deploy, flexible active cabinet to
support an operator’s first deployment in any market provides a
clear, competitive advantage as this market opportunity
unfolds.”
Orders for the FiberFlex 1700 active cabinet are being taken as
of November 15th. The FiberFlex 1700 active cabinet will be on
display at Calix ConneXions 2023 in Las Vegas from October 14-17
and at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Denver at Clearfield booth #1139
from October 16-19. More information on the FieldSmart FiberFlex
1700 active cabinet can be found on this video, the datasheet and
