With an average of 30 minutes per deployment
time saved, Clearfield’s innovative new test access point
streamlines the homes connected process
Clearfield, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLFD), the leader in community
broadband fiber connectivity, today announced the availability of
the CraftSmart® Deploy Reel Test Access Point (TAP) Box and Home
Deployment Kit (HDK), extending Clearfield’s field-proven fiber
management expertise and leading-edge fiber connectivity
performance all the way into the home. The HDK option offers the
Deploy Reel TAP kitted with the home equipment cable and angled
wall faceplate for the final connection into the home. These
products satisfy a pressing need for industry network operators to
quickly convert homes passed to homes connected, yielding immediate
return on their fiber investment.
The craft-friendly Deploy Reel TAP Box is designed with a
rounded profile to provide a safe bend radius for ample storage on
the reel of up to 50-feet of excess fiber drop cable coming from
the terminal and up to 100-feet of 3mm FieldShield® FLEXdrop® cable
that the field technician can deploy into the home. This all-in-one
flexibility with the reel enables the technician to pay out the
exact amount of cable from the curb and into the home, saving up to
30 minutes per install compared to traditional methods. These
benefits, documented in a recent Clearfield customer deployment
study which surveyed over 150 installations utilizing the
FieldShield Deploy Reel FastPass™ method, resulted in time savings
between 35% and 38% versus the baseline method for outside and
inside work performed.
“Every minute saved in the process of connecting homes speeds up
the time in which an entire community can leverage the economic
benefits enabled with fiber broadband,” said Clearfield’s Chief
Marketing Officer, Kevin Morgan. “At Clearfield, our product
development and design approach starts with the field technician in
mind and focuses on ways we can improve their ability to quickly,
efficiently, and effectively connect more homes - a benefit and
competitive advantage that any network operator can
appreciate.”

Deployment Kit option at booth 305 of Fiber Connect 2024 in
