Simplifying last mile connections to rural homes

The OptiTap®-Compatible Port Adapter* provides a faster, simpler way of connecting customers in rural areas to fibre broadband. Designed and assembled in the UK, this innovative connectivity accessory has been developed to simplify the installation process and provide a cost-effective connection solution.

The OptiTap®-Compatible Port Adapter is installed on Prysmian XMJ closures that are already in place, removing the need to install a multi-port CBT. Installing a CBT closure can be a long process, however, attaching an OptiTap®-Compatible Port Adapter takes just seconds – saving you time on site.

Robust and weatherproof, the port adapter is designed to protect the OptiTap® single fibre optic connector in outdoor environments, ensuring reliable, seamless connections.

How does it work?

In some rural areas, the distance between one house to the next may be 1km or more. A multi-port CBT would be installed with the existing infrastructure on the nearest telegraph pole or underground in order to connect the fibre to one house. The OptiTap®-Compatible Port Adapter, however, can be attached directly onto the existing Prysmian xMJ closure, allowing the OptiTap® drop cable to feed through – eliminating the need for additional, costly CBT products. 

As only one port is needed to feed one house, the OptiTap®-Compatible Port Adaptor also reduces the number of redundant ports that would be incurred when installing a CBT. This allows for a more compact and economical installation. No single-port CBT currently exists, making the OptiTap®-Compatible Port Adapter unique to the market.

The OptiTap®-Compatible Port Adapter is compatible with existing Prysmian xMJ closures and easily supports a wide range of drop cables.
