Fiber Storage Units are used to conveniently and safely store an extra length of cable along the support strand for later use. AFL offers two types of fiber storage units - standard and an ADSS specific fiber storage unit.
Standard Fiber Storage Unit
Furnished as pairs (kit contains two fiber storage units and two sets of hanger brackets), these FSU’s feature all aluminum, baked acrylic enamel finish or dielectric poypropylene with UV inhibitor. All basic hardware for attachment to the support strand is provided.
ADSS Fiber Storage Unit Extremely lightweight and compact to minimize stress and ice loading on the fiber cable. Weight is evenly spread between two spans.
DCSU Fiber Storage Unit
The AFL DCSU Fiber Storage Unit is designed to store and organize the slack from a fiber drop that is left at an FDT. The DCSU can also to be used for the organization or storage of any unused multi-fiber drop in the placing of a multi-port terminal from VATS splices. In this way, cable left for future use is safely stored.
