Building Entrance Facility Solutions
Fiber counts in outside plant (OSP) cable for campus interconnection or service providers are rapidly increasing. The building entrance or External Network Interface (ENI) requires higher density, more space efficiency, and more accessibility for effective fiber management and distribution of high fiber counts inside the data center.
AFL Hyperscale have designed and manufactured a range of entrance facility solutions for a fast and efficient installation that includes mass-splice frames, wall-mountable cabinets, and rack-mountable panels to support fiber counts above and beyond today’s demand.
High density
AFL Hyperscale have entrance facility solutions that can support 13,000+ fibers in a single cabinet
Space optimization
Our cabinets are available in a range of profiles to maximize your available floor or wall space
Flexible, scalable options
Supporting both mass-fusion and single-fiber splicing and accommodating cables with fiber counts from 288f all the way up to 6,912f, we have the right cabinet for your entrance facility
Fast installation
Using Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) and SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) Technology, cables can be installed efficiently on day one and remain accessible for future cable installations or changes
Outside Plant Cabling (OSP)
Advances in cable technology have led to an increase in fiber density and a decrease in cable diameter, weight, and installation time. Utilizing SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) technology in your outside plant cabling means your data center’s fleets or availability zones can grow at a faster rate, whilst minimizing the impact on already congested duct space.

Wall-Mountable Solutions
AFL Hyperscale’s Mass-Fusion Splice Cabinets are designed to save space in the data center entrance facility. Rather than splicing on a fiber frame, the cabinets can be wall-mounted to transition OSP cables to ISP cables up to 6,912 fibers. The cabinets are lightweight and designed for easy installation by one person.

Mass-Splice Frames
AFL Hyperscale’s selection of mass-splice frames provides scalable and high-density splicing capability. Our cabinets are ideal for splicing OSP cables carrying up to 13,824f into indoor backbone 288f segments.
Designed for ease of installation and maintenance, there is plenty of room for slack storage both at incoming and outgoing cable ends. Integrated mounting points for cable transitions ensure appropriate management of breakout from cable to splicing area.
Rack-Mountable Panels
The below rack-mountable panels accommodate pre-installed SpiderWeb Ribbon LC pigtails and a host of unique features for a rapid installation where interconnection is required.

Inside Plant Cabling (ISP)
Our range of inside plant cables utilize SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) technology meaning that, across the data hall, operators can go from very high fiber count cables and break down to small fiber counts very easily. AFL Hyperscale have a range of ISP cables with a variety of jackets including LSZH, plenum, and CPR-rated so networks can be designed with a global mindset for a local deployment.
