Simplicity
The NovuX™ Connector Closure’s state-of-the-art
design removes complexities from network planning and
expansions, and introduces an element providers need OctopusTM gel seal
the most—simplicity. Here’s an example:

The closure is protected by our newest and most advanced

technology. A highly adaptable seal, Octopus gel is
extremely conformable and resilient, and guards delicate
equipment from a wide range of harsh environmental
conditions. Octopus gel seal allows technicians entry for
upgrades or maintenance, even after numerous closure
accesses. In addition, a newly-designed cable retention
system accommodates a wider range of cable sizes within
the same closure—virtually eliminating the need to measure
cable size and match to gel pack size. This innovation adds
the value of simplicity to your network, because it allows the
use of almost any cable material and any cable size.

Responsiveness Connectivity independent

Small changes can make a big difference in your drop In the field, the NovuX Connector
network. When it’s time to scale up to meet new market Closure can be configured:
requirements, the NovuX Connector Closure responds
1. Splice only

2. Pre-connectorized drop
network—whether it’s a new build, an expansion, or an
upgrade—because it’s connectivity independent. 3. Field-installable connector

Configurability

Because each network is different, you need components

that are easily configured to meet your future needs. The
NovuX Connector Closure is designed so providers can
quickly configure it with a variety of feature options.
This facilitates tracking and network record keeping,
provides simplicity and clarity when multiple operators
share fiber closures, and helps deliver trouble-free
installation and maintenance.
