Frequently Asked Questions
What does the IP68 rating mean for this terminal?
The IP68 rating indicates that the MST box is fully protected against dust ingress and is capable of being submerged in water under specified conditions, making it ideal for harsh outdoor environments.
Can I use this for aerial installations?
Yes, the unit's 1200N tensile strength allows it to withstand the mechanical stresses typically found in aerial deployment scenarios.
Are there internal options for splitting signals?
Yes, the enclosure is available with integrated PLC splitters or splice sleeves to facilitate fiber division within the terminal.
What types of connectors are compatible?
The terminal supports various connectors, including ODVA, H-connector (OptiTap compatible), Mini SC, ODC, PTLC, and PTMPO styles.
Is the unit pre-assembled?
The Zeus MST is provided as a factory-sealed unit with 2000' of ruggedized flat drop cable attached, reducing the need for on-site termination.
