FiberGuide® has been designed and engineered to ensure that every component, fitting, exit or kit provides optimum fiber protection and maintains a minimum two inch bend radius throughout the system. This pledge comes from years of work closely with customers and installers to create solutions that withstand any network challenge while providing the layout flexibility unique needs required by each facility.

Fast InstallationSimple designs such as the Snap-Fit junctions and pioneering concepts such as the Express Exit have raised the industry standards, delivering on the promise of tool-less installation. New innovations such as FlexExit allows customers to achieve precise drops into a frame while using existing raceway with minimum changes. The system’s durability and robustness make fewer supports and brackets required throughout.

Design Smart Tool SuiteNo matter how large or small the project consultants, engineers and installers can benefit from the suite of design tools available for FiberGuide. Building Information Modeling (BIM) objects, AutoCAD models, 2D and 3D Visio Stencils and a layout Configurator and Bill of Material (C-BOM) generator are available for download online, to support any project.
