The Fieldsmart Fiber Delivert Point (FDP) Indoor Wall Box has
been optimized for MDU (Multi Dwelling Unit) applications. With
the Clearview® Cassette at its heart, the FieldSmart FDP Wall
Box gives service providers plug-and-play integration based
upon the conguration requirements of their application. With
the ability to house one to three 1 x 32 splitters and a compact
footprint, indoor wall boxes are perfect for the deployment of
PON-based FTTH networks in an MDU environment. Additional
applications include ber demarcations, entrance facilities and
security systems (CCTV).
Description
The FieldSmart Fiber Delivery Point (FDP) Indoor Wall Box is Clearview optimized, allowing the user to easily scale from 12
to 36, 96, or 144 ports. Designed from conception to provide fast and easy ber jumper routing with ease of access to all
circuits, the FieldSmart FDP Wall Box system is craft-friendly, keeping the installer’s needs for quick deployment, intuitive
use and ease of maintenance as the top priorities. Utilizing Clearview Cassettes, the product is shipped loaded with the
industry standard adapter of choice and can be congured for patch only, patch and splice and MPO plug-and-play
applications, while supporting all cable constructions for the inside plant. It is ring cut or mid-span capable, allowing for the
distribution cables to be daisy-chained and for ber hand-off through the riser. The wall box has a swinging bulkhead for
rear-access to the cassettes and protects sub-unit slack storage, security enabled doors for extra protection and a solid
enclosure to protect ber terminations from damage. Designed from conception to provide fast, easy ber jumper routing
and ease of access to all circuits, the wall box system is craft-friendly, keeping the installer’s needs for quick deployment,
intuitive use and ease of maintenance as the top priority.

The cassette splicing area can be locked by pressing in the tabs at both the top and bottom of the wall box, and can
then be opened again by pressing the tabs back and swinging the bulkhead open.
The slack storage compartment of the wall box is large enough to
1.
accommodate 15 feet of buffer tube slack from a cable matching the
wall box port count. However, it is recommended that you only prep
as much cable as you will need to perform your work.
Note: You will need approximately 3 feet of ber inside the splice
tray so add that to the total prep length.

Note: An OSP cable is shown in the picture, but an IFC

is used, a bonding clamp 3M 4460-D or equivalent can
be used.
In order to install cable in the splicing side of the wall box, the feed

Locate the green cable clamp shells and corresponding barrel nuts from the ship-along hardware.

The cable clamp shells are used in same size pairs. Avoid using a clamp that is too small and does not easily close

around the cable. Use the next larger clamp and grommet tape. The provided grommet tape should be applied to one
or two of the clamp shells prior to installation, depending upon the size of the cable.
Use the included barrel nuts and cable clamp shells to fasten the cable to the wall box on the threaded studs inside the

the wall box that need to be spliced. This
can be done by opening the bulkhead and
loosening the captive screws on each side
of the cassette which hold the cassette to
the bulkhead.
Consult the Clearview Blue Cassette Installation Manual for splicing instructions, located under the Resources tab of
Individual jumpers can be inserted through either the upper or

spools provided. It is recommended that the jumpers leave
the radius spools toward the back wall opposite the cable
entrance, and then transition forward to the adapters. This will
allow for proper jumper swing if the bulkhead is opened. The
slack can then be dressed up using the supplied Velcro strips.
Whether factory terminated or eld spliced, clean connectors are essential for proper system operation. Even the smallest
dust particle can cause transmission problems, so for optimal network performance inspect, and if necessary, clean
connectors and adapters prior to mating.
Inspect Then Connect
These are Cleareld recommended products/applications. Use the product
you feel will complete your cleaning procedures. Create a “best practice” for
your company and follow those procedures.
The use of Chemtronics end face and bulkhead cleaning products and
techniques ensures a clean end face, no matter the type of contamination.
Installation Manual
Before cleaning any connector, be sure you know what type of contaminate
you are cleaning (dry, uidic, or combination). All the available products are
good, it’s the process that you need to be aware of. Using a dry cleaning
method to clean “dirt” can lead to scratching of the end face. Learn the
process of cleaning properly.
Note: It is NOT recommended to use isopropyl alcohol to clean the end face.
Cleaning an SC/LC Connector
Cleaning the End Face
• Place one wiping paper on QbE-2 FiberSafe™ Cleaning Platen.
(Figure 1)
• Apply small amount of precision cleaner (about 1” in diameter) with
Electro-Wash MX pen on to one end of the wipe. (Figure 2)
• Hold end face at a 90 degree angle. For APC connection, adjust by
slightly tilting the container or end face. Angle is correct when no drag is
felt on the end face. (Figure 3)
Figure 1
Figure 2
• Draw end face from wet to dry part of the wipe 3 times. Use just enough
pressure to ensure complete contact between end face and the wipe.
• Lightly moisten the ber optic swab (2.5mm/38542F or 1.25mm/38040)
by spotting a small amount (about 1”) of Electro-Wash PX or
Electro-Wash MX pen onto the QbE. Hold the swab, 1 side down to the
wetted area and hold for a count of 1-2-3-4-5. (Figure 4)
• Insert swab into side of ferrule, wet side to the ceramic ferrule and
circle around 2-3 times and remove. Turn swab to dry side and repeat.
(Figure 5)
Cleaning the Mate Through an Adapter AND the Adapter Itself
• Lightly moisten the ber optic swab (2.5mm/38542F or 1.25mm/38040)
by spotting a small amount (about 1”) of Electro-Wash PX or
Electro-Wash MX pen onto the QbE. Hold the tip of the swab onto the
wetted area and hold for a count of 1-2-3-4-5.
• Insert the swab into the adapter to the connector, press lightly against
the connector, twist 2-3 times, remove and discard.
• Dry with a second dry swab.
Figure 5
• Inspect, repeat cleaning if necessary, and test for signal strength.
• Use additional swabs to clean inside the actual adapter. Moisten
swab, like above, and insert through hole and remove while twisting.
