Channell Aerial Terminals – Made in USA

Yellow Jacket Aerial Terminal

Channell’s Yellow Jacket Aerial Terminal is a robust, multiport solution for above ground fiber optic deployments. The Yellow Jacket provides extreme environmental protection in the harshest conditions and facilitates quick connection of up to 16 drop cables each with individual strain relief.

Gaining entry to the Yellow Jacket terminal is quick and easy through its cover compression clamps. The terminal is designed to mount effortlessly on a strand (aerial mounting brackets included) and is capable of accommodating 4 distribution cable entry ports in either direction for maximum flexibility.

The Yellow Jacket allows for ample slack storage and is compatible with Channell’s Universal Splice Trays for a maximum splice capacity up to 144F. Multiple splitter configurations can be accommodated for both centralized and distributed split deployments.

Product Summary

Channell’s YellowJacket Fiber Optic Aerial Terminal is a low-cost solution for strand, pedestal, or pole-mount applications to maximize flexibility. It’s available with up to 3 pre-installed splitters to reduce sourcing complexity and craft labor.

• Robust compression clamps provide solid drop and cable sealing and protection of internal components per GR-771 and IP65
• Inline or butt splicing capability reduces cable cost and streamlines cable placement because small cable slack loops replace the large, more costly butt splicing
• Flexible cable placement simplifies congested aerial
• YellowJacket reduces aerial and pole congestion by having a complete splice/ patch solution.
• Left or right drop configurability minimizes encroachment with existing cable plant and reduces make ready efforts
• Cable placement flexibility anticipates network changes in the coming years. An example of how Channell products are “Built for the ”

Faster drop installation:

• Integrated EasySeal grommet technology automatically seals drop cables in terminal through clamp design
• No need for additional grommets as all grommets are included with the terminal
• Pre-positioned drop seals inside the terminal ensures watertight seal
• Drop installation area is separated from cable splicing to enhance network integrity
• Fiber drop terminal or splice closure ability allows for straight and branch splicing which reduce the need for additional splice closures within aerial networks
