Overview

The Panduit P-MST-12D-500 is a 12-port Multi-port Service Terminal designed for robust fiber optic connectivity in demanding outdoor environments. This fully sealed unit boasts an IP68 rating, ensuring reliable performance even when submerged up to 2 meters, making it ideal for underground, aerial, and surface-mounted installations. It features an unterminated stub-type dielectric cable, 500 feet in length, constructed with OS2 singlemode fiber. The terminal is equipped with hardened outdoor SC/APC connectors, delivering low insertion loss (0.4 dB max) and high return loss (-65 dB typical) for superior optical performance. Its compact, gasketed hardened plastic housing is engineered for tight spaces, suitable for handhole, pedestal, pole, and strand mounting applications. The P-MST-12D-500 meets diverse FTTx deployment requirements and complies with Telcordia GR-3120, GR-326, and GR-771 standards, ensuring adherence to rigorous telecom specifications for outside plant fiber optic terminal applications. Additionally, it meets U.S. Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it suitable for government and federally funded broadband infrastructure projects. The dielectric cable construction provides crush resistance and tensile strength, while the OS2 fiber ensures efficient signal transmission. This terminal is compatible with HUB-ST splice trays and 40mm fiber protector sleeves for comprehensive splice protection. Its dimensions are 21.5 inches (546.9 mm) in overall length, 5.1 inches (129.5 mm) in overall width, and 3.3 inches (84.1 mm) in overall height. Operating wavelengths range from 1260 nm to 1635 nm. The P-MST-12D-500 is manufactured in the USA.
