What is fiber access terminal (Fat)?

Purpose of usage:

Fiber access terminal (FAT) is a device used for fiber cabling and cable management in FTTH applications. This device integrates fiber splicing, splitting, and distribution while also providing outstanding protection & control for network line deployment.

It is typically used in applications such as, internet access, video surveillance, cable TV and telecommunication systems.

FAT boxes for indoor and outdoor:

Fiber access terminal are different according to application area: indoor and outdoor.

Indoor fiber access terminal usually with compact size which allow easy installation on buildings and houses. It provides less IP protection compared to outdoor fiber optic termination boxes. However more convenient to connect smaller capacity cables in FTTH line construction. They are usually made of high quality ABS+PVC and in white color.
