DESCRIPTION The Opti-Loop Mini-Shoe is available in an 8” size, which is sufficient for all uses. The Opti-Loop Mini-Shoe can manage up to 12 fiber drops when laid flat into the raceway, with minimal slack required at the terminal.
The Opti-Loop Mini-Shoe was designed to store and organize the small amount of slack from a fiber drop that is to be left at an FDT. It is also to be used for the organization or storage of the minimal amount of unused multi-fiber drop, in the placing of a multi-port terminal from VATS splices. Additionally, the remaining cable left for future use is safely stored, as opposed to the slack hanging in a vertical coil. This procedure stores the coil in a more unobtrusive, horizontal fashion.
BENEFITS • Light weight, tough plastic compound and aluminum models • Keyed bracket slot, to prevent twisting • Optional, changeable, mounting hardware for aerial, pole or below-grade hand holes • Weather resistant, non-rusting • One tool, one bracket mounting • Will hold all the drops for the largest terminal • Meets minimum bend radius requirements • Flared ends prevent chaffing and allow smooth transition to a terminal • Adjustable length of reserve fiber, restricted only by the distance between the attachments • Stackable if necessary, with optional, longer bolt • Spring type, lockable, fingers to hold fiber drops and cable. Nothing more required • No ty-wraps required • Future drops can be added without disturbing the original bundle • Patented design • No coiling of the fiber drop that could introduce “twisting” if the reserve is used at a later date |
