OEM and customized hybrid MST boxes can be configured according to the requirements of different fiber and power distribution systems. Customers can specify the fiber connector type, fiber count, power cable configuration, cable length, mounting method, enclosure configuration, internal fiber management, and other electrical or optical parameters.

Custom branding, labeling, packaging, connector configurations, cable assemblies, and private-label production are also available for OEM and volume projects. Factory-sealed or field-assembly configurations can be selected according to the installation method and service deployment requirements.

Why combine fiber and power connections in one MST box?

A hybrid MST box allows optical connectivity and electrical power to be distributed from a common outdoor connection point. This can simplify installation where remote equipment requires both data and power while reducing the number of separate connection enclosures and cable routes.

What is the purpose of the 2-pin power connection?

The 2-pin power cable provides a dedicated electrical connection for compatible outdoor equipment. Its exact voltage, current, connector configuration, and cable specifications should be matched to the requirements of the powered device and the overall electrical system.

What is the difference between a factory-sealed and field-assembly configuration?

A factory-sealed configuration is assembled and sealed before shipment, providing a ready-to-deploy connection point with controlled assembly conditions. A field-assembly version provides greater flexibility for installations where cable routing, termination, or final configuration needs to be completed at the deployment site.

Can the fiber and power sections be serviced independently?

The serviceability depends on the specific configuration of the MST box and the selected connector and cable assembly. Hardened fiber connections are designed to facilitate field access, while the power section should be serviced according to the electrical connector and enclosure configuration. Custom service arrangements can be considered for specific deployments.

Is the IP68 rating sufficient for exposed outdoor installations?

The IP68 enclosure rating provides a high level of protection against dust and water ingress, making the enclosure suitable for many exposed outdoor telecommunications applications. However, the actual installation environment, immersion conditions, temperature range, UV exposure, and mechanical loading should also be considered when selecting the appropriate configuration.
