Scalable hardened connectivity for rural and suburban FTTH.

  • Port Options: 4, 8, or 12 Hardened SC/APC Ports.

  • Stub Tail: Dielectric or Toneable Flat Drop (Custom Lengths: 100ft – 2000ft).

  • Rating: IP68 Submersible (20ft water head).

  • Compatibility: Fully compatible with Corning OptiTap® and H-Connector systems.

Description

One Terminal. Any Scenario.

The Problem: Different deployment zones require different densities. A rural pole might only need 4 ports, while a suburban street corner needs 12. Stocking different brands for each is a nightmare.

The ABPTEL Solution: Our MST Series covers every scenario with a single, unified platform. From the compact 4-Port Mini to the high-density 12-Port Hub, every unit features the same IP68 ruggedization and Plug-and-Play OptiTap® compatibility.

Engineered for Speed & Scalability

1. Splitter vs. Pass-Through Logic

With Splitter (1:4 / 1:8): Best for distribution points. One feeder fiber in, multiple drops out. Reduces fiber usage in the main ring.
Pass-Through (No Splitter): Best for fiber indexing. Each external port corresponds directly to a fiber in the stub tail.

2. 100% OptiTap® Compatible

Features industry-standard Hardened SC/APC (H-Connector) ports. Fully inter-mateable with Corning OptiTap® drops and CommScope terminals. No proprietary lock-in.

3. Factory-Sealed IP68

Every unit undergoes a strict Air-Tightness & Water Immersion Test. Rated for 3 meters of water submersion for 7 days. Ideal for flood-prone manholes or handholes.

4. Flexible Stub Tails

Comes with a factory-installed SST Flat Drop stub. Available in Dielectric (aerial) or Toneable (direct burial) versions.

Engineering FAQ

Q: Can I daisy-chain these terminals?

A: Yes. Choose the “Pass-Through” model with a stub tail. You can splice the stub into your main fiber ring and drop specific fibers at each terminal location (Fiber Indexing).

Q: Is the mounting bracket included?

A: Yes. Every ABPTEL MST ships with a universal mounting bracket kit suitable for wall, pole, or handhole mounting at no extra cost.
