The 96-count FSC was designed at the specific request of independent broadband service providers who were looking for a smaller cabinet without jeopardizing access to the ports. Field-proven in extreme outside plant environments, the 96-count FSC maintains the same rugged design features of the company's 192, 288 and 576 models. In response to OSP field technicians who have had difficulty accessing fiber ports in increasingly crowded fiber cabinets, APACN designed the 96-count FSC to ensure easy access to each port.

Application Environment

The 96-count FSC is designed for unobtrusive installation in a variety of environments. Including:

Rural fiber-to-the home deployment where a limited number of users are served in a location.
Replacement of larger scale cabinets where the network design calls for fiber being deployed deeper into the network.
Environments where the ability to "express fiber" through the cabinet is desired such as to extend feeder fibers from the Central Office or to pass a separate but parallel network through the cabinet to feed a business-type customer.
In an overbuilding environment where take-rates are unknown, the 96-count limits up-front costs.
Modularity in a grow-as-you-go environment
High traffic areas or where critical failure is a concern-- in the event of an environmental factor, such as a traffic accident, critical failure of 96-ports is less of an impact than a larger cabinet.
More aesthetically pleasing, easier to conceal. (bushes, rocks, etc.)
No additional implementation training required due to common platform and circuit designation.
