Overview
The Zeus Multiport Service Terminal (MST) is a hardened fiber management solution designed for deployment in rugged outside plant (OSP) environments. This enclosure is engineered to provide a robust, reliable interface for fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) and fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) applications, serving as a critical distribution point in the network.
Each unit comes pre-loaded with high-quality connectivity ports and includes 250 feet of ruggedized flat drop cable. Built to withstand demanding conditions, the enclosure features an IP68-rated seal to prevent water and dust ingress and supports long-term structural integrity under pulling forces up to 1200N.
