About this Installation Instruction

This installation instruction manual describes the installation of the FST-R terminal with full size hardened adapter and the 

DLX® adapters. The instructions will explain how to handle the terminal and factory integrated adapter drop ports, how to 

mount the terminal (hand hole and pole), how to connect and maintain the different adapter types (full size hardened and 

DLX) and provide guidelines on how to splice the feeder cable.

General product information

The FST-R is a compact sealed terminal with hardened connectivity for reliable plug-n-play distribution to customer premises. 

Featuring pre-connectorized hardened full size or DLX adapter drops, and a round loose tube feeder cable (dia5,5mm) to 

splice. CommScope’s FST-R enables FTTH deployment in brown field and green field applications. Primarily designed for 

hand hole applications, the terminal provides fast, easy network connections in space-constrained environments. The FST-R 

terminal is available with 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 fibre drops.
