Overview
The Corning FAN-OD25-06 is an outdoor-rated buffer tube fan-out kit designed for field installation of connectors on 6-fiber buffer tubes. It provides essential mechanical protection for fibers while facilitating the transition from 250µm bare fibers to 900µm buffered strands.
Engineered for use in harsh field environments, this kit supports reliable performance across a broad temperature range of -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F). The assembly is color-coded to streamline the termination process and ensure accurate fiber identification without the need for additional specialized hardware.
