VIEW RECORDED WEBINAR

Why Attend?
Attendees will learn from real-world experiences and cost studies how including above-grade fiber distribution, cross-connect, interconnect and flex point enclosures in their network has many advantages over alternative architectures. These advantages include flexibility in placement, superior environmental protection, time to market and life-cycle cost advantages. A variety of architectures and splicing methods will be explored to give attendees new insights into shovel-ready techniques for fiber to the home, fiber to the cellsite and other FTTX applications.

Network planners, field technicians, contractors and other OSP professionals will be armed with a greater understanding of how their particular FTTX architectures and splicing methods determine the most cost-effective and best performing splice enclosures for their application.
