Overview

The Panduit MST Strand Mounting Bracket (P-MST-ASB) is a purpose-built hardware solution for secure aerial deployment of MST fiber optic terminals on overhead messenger strands. Engineered for FTTx network expansions, this kit eliminates the need for pedestals or handholes, reducing installation time and total cost of ownership in aerial network architectures. The bracket is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand outdoor environmental conditions, including UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and precipitation, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh aerial environments. Designed for compatibility with all MST terminal configurations, the P-MST-ASB simplifies aerial installations with pre-configured mounting hardware and tool-less assembly, minimizing on-site labor. The bracket supports terminal weight requirements typical of aerial applications while maintaining structural integrity under dynamic loads such as wind and vibration. It meets U.S. Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, making it eligible for government and federally funded broadband infrastructure projects. Key specifications include a robust steel construction with a corrosion-resistant finish, designed for messenger strand diameters up to 3/8 inch. The kit includes all necessary hardware for secure attachment to the strand and terminal, with a compact footprint that accommodates tight aerial mounting spaces. Installation requires only basic hand tools, and the bracket’s design allows for easy access during maintenance or reconfiguration without disrupting adjacent infrastructure. Ideal for aerial FTTx deployments, the P-MST-ASB is a critical component for service providers expanding fiber networks in residential, commercial, and municipal applications. Its compliance with Telcordia GR-3120, GR-326, and GR-771 standards ensures compatibility with industry-grade fiber optic terminals and adherence to telecom best practices for outside plant installations.

How to Install the Multiport Service Terminal (P-MST-4D-500)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the Multiport Service Terminal (P-MST-4D-500) for optimal performance.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Cable ties, O-ring lubricant

  1. Mount the Multiport Service Terminal Mounting Case (MC)

    Secure the MC to the chosen mounting surface (pole, strand, or pedestal) using appropriate screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.

  2. Install the Multiport Service Terminal (MST) into the MC

    Insert the cable end of the MST into the MC and push the front of the MST until the security latch snaps closed.

  3. Connect the drop cable to the MST optical port

    Unscrew the dust cap from the drop connector, inspect and lubricate the O-rings if necessary, then align and insert the drop cable connector into the MST optical port until it is securely in place.
