Outdoor Deployment

Fiber infrastructure that survives the conditions you deploy it in

Desert heat, coastal salt spray, arctic freeze, monsoon rain — every outdoor scenario demands different materials, protection levels, and thermal strategies. These solutions match the environment, not the other way around.

Solution 01

Communication Base Station Fiber Deployment

5G macro and micro stations, CRAN central sites — from the cabinet room to the AAU on the tower. Three-tier fiber distribution: Outdoor Telecom Cabinet → Fiber Distribution Cabinet → Fiber Splice Closure → Fiber Distribution Box.

Field realities this addresses

Full product line rated -40°C to +70°C. SMC cabinets stay cool naturally; steel cabinets with TEC optional.
Tower equipment bakes at 60°C+, freezes at -30°C
SMC cabinets weigh ~40% of equivalent steel. IP65, corrosion-proof, and UV-resistant — better on towers in every way.
Steel cabinets too heavy for tower mount
≥10kA lightning withstand (8/20μs). IP68 splice closures with FKM seals tested at 1.5m submersion for 72h.
Lightning and moisture kill field equipment
Modular splice trays and adapters — field-swappable without special tools. Pre-terminated options cut field splicing.
Every site visit costs time and money

Solution 02

Harsh Environment Fiber Distribution

Desert, coast, arctic, rainforest — each environment destroys standard equipment differently. This solution provides material-specific, IP-rated, and thermal-managed configurations validated for the conditions.

Material selection by environment

Material Key Advantage Best For
SMC Corrosion-proof, UV-resistant, insulated, 1/4 weight of steel Coastal, desert, acid rain zones
304 Stainless Steel High strength (≥520MPa tensile), -196°C to +800°C range Offshore, saline-alkali, extreme cold
Aluminum 6063-T5 2.7g/cm³ lightweight, 201W/(m·K) thermal conductivity Pole-mount, rooftop, heat-sensitive
Galvanized Steel (SGCC) Cost-effective, sacrificial zinc anode protection Inland, low corrosion risk

Thermal management strategies

Passive Cooling <30°C avg · Zero
Forced Air 30–45°C · 10–30W
TEC (Semiconductor) >45°C · 50–100W
Heat Exchanger High heat + humidity · 80–150W

IP rating selection guide

IP65 Dust-tight, water jet — standard outdoor with shelter
IP66 Dust-tight, powerful water jet — exposed coast/desert
IP67 Dust-tight, 1m immersion 30min — underground, flood zones
IP68 Dust-tight, continuous immersion — submerged manholes
Solution 03

Smart City & 5G Fronthaul Deployment

Smart city fiber means thousands of scattered endpoints — lamp poles, cameras, sensors — each needing a fiber drop. This solution uses a two-stage splitter architecture and pre-terminated cabling to deploy fast and keep the maintenance burden manageable.

What makes smart city deployment different

Two-stage split (1:8 → 1:4) reduces backbone fiber consumption
Tens of thousands of endpoints, each needing a fiber drop
Micro FDB ≤300×200×100mm, pole-mount bracket, dark gray finish
Lamp pole equipment must be small, hidden, and pole-mountable
Pre-terminated cable runs: unroll and plug. No splicing truck, no road closure
Construction must coordinate with multiple city departments
Isolated fiber routing within pole brackets, grounded metal enclosures
Power and fiber share the same pole — EMI and safety risks

Compact Design

Street cabinets ≤0.5m² footprint. Pole-mount boxes under 300mm. Blend into city furniture.

Pre-terminated Speed

Factory-spliced cable reels. Unroll, plug, done. Deployment in hours, not days.

Shared Infrastructure

Co-locate on existing lamp poles and camera mounts. One trench, multiple services.
