Characteristics

Ready to install and immediately ready for use

The wall outlet is delivered ready for installation and immediate use: the singlemode OS2 indoor cable is pre-connected, the LC duplex adapters – available in APC or UPC - are pre-installed, and the cable is securely strain-relieved via the Kevlar.

Flexible configuration for any installation scenario

With 2 or 4 fibers and cable lengths of up to 150 m, the OpDAT VGAD covers virtually every installation scenario. Optional pulling aids additionally facilitate the insertion of the cable into the conduit and ensure fast, clean installation.
