MST – Stubbed

Product Overview

NetSource’s Hardened SC/APC Multiport Terminals, manufactured in the U.S., provide a pre-connected, durable solution ideal for fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) installations in various outdoor environments. Designed for both underground and aerial installations, these IP68-rated terminals are available in multiple configurations (2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 ports), offering flexible and cost-effective network deployment options. With over two decades of proven technology, they are factory-terminated and environmentally sealed to guarantee high performance and reliability in harsh conditions. By routing multiple drops to a single splice location, these terminals streamline network infrastructure, reducing installation complexity and time. Suitable for aerial, pole, pedestal, handhole, and wall-mounted installations, they provide the ruggedness and flexibility needed for fast and efficient FTTx network expansion.
