FTTX Solutions
Multiport Service Terminal (MST) and Hardened Drop Cables
CommScope‘s FTTX infrastructure solutions are designed from the ground up to meet the unique requirements of FTTX networks. Designed for operational efficiency and scalability, CommScope’s FTTX solutions simplify network installation, maintenance and management from the central office/head end to the outside plant.
The Multiport Service Terminal (MST) incorporates hardened connector technology that is designed to withstand the rugged outside plant environment. These uniquely designed hardened connectors are factory-terminated and environmentally sealed for use in optical drop cable deployments.
CommScope’s Hardened Cables are environmentally robust to provide a reliable interface for fiber drop cables in the outside plant environment. At the same time, the hardened connector approach dramatically reduces splicing labor requirements. The rugged optical connector is hardened to protect against extreme temperature, moisture, UV, chemical exposure and other harsh conditions typically found in the outside plant.
Features
- Robust environmental performance: Withstands extremes in temperature and conditions
- Technician-friendly features: Intuitive design for ease of use
- Decreased installation and incremental maintenance hours: Significant savings
- Protection: Self-contained unit features hardened connectors for superior durability and reliability in the drop segment of the network

Business Case: Hardened Connector Technology vs. Field Splicing
A cost model comparing the installation costs of the traditional spliced FTTX architecture with one that incorporates MST hardened connector technology in a 192-home subdivision is provided below. Using the MST model, cable costs decreased by over 85% due primarily to the cable now being included in the terminal costs. The cost of pulling fiber cables decreased by about 25% and splicing costs were about 70% lower. Even though the MST approach added additional costs for service terminals, the overall cost was significantly lower for the distribution side of the network—approximately 19% less per home passed.
The drop cable portion of the network, between the service terminals and the ONTs, also reaps many advantages through a hardened drop connector approach. The technician can simply use a pre-connectorized drop cable, pre-connectorized at both ends in the factory and cut to specific lengths, to install between the service terminal and the home. These cables can be installed by any technician, possibly the same person connecting the electronics at each home. This greatly reduces the cost of drop cable installations in terms of time and skill level. A technician simply has to clean the connector faces at each end and plug them in.
