 DESCRIPTION
The Opti-Loop Mini-Shoe is available in an 8” size, which is sufficient for all uses. The Opti-Loop Mini-Shoe can manage up to 12 fiber drops when laid flat into the raceway, with minimal slack required at the terminal.
The Opti-Loop Mini-Shoe was designed to store and organize the small amount of slack from a fiber drop that is to be left at an FDT. It is also to be used for the organization or storage of the minimal amount of unused multi-fiber drop, in the placing of a multi-port terminal from VATS splices. Additionally, the remaining cable left for future use is safely stored, as opposed to the slack hanging in a vertical coil. This procedure stores the coil in a more unobtrusive, horizontal fashion.
