The FieldSmart FSC PON is the complete solution for managing 12 to 1,152
port distribution bers for an outside plant FTTx PON application. Through the
incremental design of the Clearview®Cassette, user capacity can be scaled
from as few as 12 ports to the maximum conguration of the cabinet, allowing
the service provider to align the investment in capital equipment to the turn-up
of revenue-generating circuits.
FieldSmart FSC PON Cabinets provide an interconnect environment from the
feeder network through the optical passive splitter to the distribution network in
an FTTH PON OSP cabinet. The four different cabinet sizes provide scalability
from 12 ports to 1,152 ports. Designed for the outside plant environment, these
cabinets provide a single distribution point to distribute FTTH in urban or dense
neighborhood.

With the Clearview® Cassette as its foundation, the FieldSmart FSC Cross-
Connect Cabinet uses the same components as the FieldSmart Fiber
Crossover Distribution System (FxDS) deployed in the central ofce. This
enables service providers to standardize on a single building block, allowing
them to stock a single ber management component for either environment.
Technicians also have the ease of working with a single ber architecture for
central ofce or outside plant deployment - saving training and installation time.
Using Clearview, FieldSmart changes the rules of ber management. Optimal
access is ensured to all ports and superior ber protection is integrated within
the Clearview Cassette. Through the incremental design of the Clearview
Cassette, user capacity can be scaled from as few as 12 ports to the maximum
conguration of the cabinet, allowing the service provider to align the
investment in capital equipment to the turn-up of revenue-generating circuits.
Further, labor and other eld costs are minimized through this craft-friendly
layout.
The FieldSmart FSC Cross-Connect Cabinet is the complete solution for
managing up to 1,728 bers in most any feeder/distribution ratio for an outside
plant FTTx application. This solution provides an interconnect environment from
the feeder network and the distribution eld in a FTTH network.

The FieldSmart Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC) is designed for the cable operator
looking to separate their passive infrastructure from the electronics without the
need for a traditional, and expensive, standard hub architecture. Hub collapse
environments allow passive architecture to be placed in the most craft-friendly
place for circuit and wavelength allocation and associated MAC (moves, adds,
and changes) work - on the ground. Providing up to 120-ber terminations using
the Clearview® Cassette and up to 32 LGX compatible CWDM/DWDM modules,
the FieldSmart Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC) separates critical active components
typically protected in the node, such as Cisco’s O-Hub platform or Aurora V-Hub,
and allows existing optical components to be reused throughout the network.
The FieldSmart Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC) provides a centralized location
within a service provider’s network that houses both ber terminations and optical
components. This eliminates the need for a physical “hub” location, thereby saving
land, maintenance and permitting expenses. Service providers increase revenue
by collapsing multiple locations into one centralized service point.

Cleareld’s Hub Collapse Cabinet (HCC) provides a centralized location that will accommodate both optical components
and ber terminations, making it an ideal solution for service providers looking to maximize existing bers within their
network. With a small footprint (32” H x 17” W x 16 ¾” D), real estate costs can be minimized with a variety of mounting
options (pole, pad or vault mount).

Cabinet Packaging
All cabinets are packaged for protection for shipment to our customers, depending on the application, packaging may vary.
Patch and splice cabinets are typically bubble wrapped and put inside of a cardboard box.
For patch only cabinets with pre-terminated ber tails, they are bubble wrapped and attached to a pallet.
Risers, if ordered, will typically ship separately (on the top of the cabinet). This is done for installation purposes.
Note: There are multiple items and small parts packaged with every cabinet. When unpackaging cabinets, make sure to
inspect all packaging materials for these items.

Vault Installation
These instructions provide general information useful for vault installation. This guide cannot anticipate all situations that
could develop in the eld. Rather, it represents information applicable to common installation conditions.
Site Preparation:
Ensure that national/local electrical and building codes, as well as OSHA and company safety work rules, are observed and
provisions made for street ags, barricades, and cones. Secure permits as required by the city and company.
WARNING: Buried Telecommunications Cables - Call Before Digging
Excavation:
Plan excavation approximately twelve to sixteen inches (12” - 16”) longer and wider than the actual dimensions of the vault
to be installed. Similarly, excavate six to eight inches (6” - 8”) deeper than the overall dimensions of the vault with the cover
in place.
Note: Vault size is generally dened by the approximate cover dimensions. The vault actual measurements will differ. The
dimensions above for determining the size of the excavation provide sufcient volume for accommodating the maximum
recommended select backll. The volume of excavation would be reduced if a lesser volume of backll material were
chosen. Excavate the hole to appropriate dimensions with a mechanical excavator or hand dig as appropriate. Conrm the
excavation oor is level.
Installation:
Cleareld highly recommends the the installation of a vapor barrier beneath the crushed rock oor of the excavated area. It
is recommended to use a minimum of three to six (3” - 6”) inches of crushed rock to prevent subsidence over time. Gravel is
the recommended material because of its drainage characteristics. The compacted material should be leveled so the top of
the vault is ush to the grade.
Note: Base material shall be crushed rock 3/4” and smaller, and not “river rock” or “round stone.” Desired compaction and
equivalent resistance to lateral loading will not be achieved with round stone. The rock should be free of soil and organic
material.
Install the vault with the cover and support beams in place. Backll the extra excavated material into the gaps around
the vault and compact by hand.

Preparing the Enclosure Base for Installation
Locate the enclosure base and remove any packaging materials. They are typically assembled and packaged on top of
FieldSmart Cabinets. There are both a 4” and 12” riser kit available to each style cabinet. All have pre-cut vent holes and the
12” has an access door.
