Each Universal OSE features a full range of capabilities To achieve each units maximum fiber density, Corning

mounting hardware allows for both horizontal and vertical designed for the Universal OSE. Each tray can
mounting and enables tight, side-by-side mounting accommodate up to 36 single-fiber splices or six
arrangements. In addition, Universal OSEs are especially mass fusion, 12-fiber ribbon splices.
OSE-LD and OSE-HD
well-suited for installations that require preconnectorized
cable assemblies or stubbed optical patch panels. In
these installations, the Universal OSE can actually
replace the rack-mounted splice unit typically required.

Corning Cable Systems offers two versions of the

Universal OSE. The high-density Universal OSE
(OSE-HD) was designed for todays higher density
fiber distribution systems. Each OSE-HD supports
up to 864 single-fiber (SF) splices or 144 mass fusion
splices (1728 fibers) from as many as 42 cables.

The low-density Universal OSE (OSE-LD) supports

up to 432 single-fiber splices or 72 mass fusion Universal OSE-LD (left) and Universal OSE-HD (right)

Cable Entry Kits 1-in OSE-CBL Cable Compression Fittings

A watertight compression fitting is required for each cable. Corning Cable Systems recommends purchasing the OSE-CBL cable
entry kit for all outside plant cables. Each kit includes a 1-in compression fitting as well as hardware for central member
strain-relief and cable grounding.

Note: The OSE-HD can accommodate up to (30) 1-in compression fittings and (10) 0.75-in compression fittings. The OSE-LD can
accommodate up to (28) 1-in compression fittings. See SRP-003-354 for installation procedures of compression fittings.

Part Number Description Cable Diameter Range

Alternate Watertight Compression Fittings

These alternate fittings provide a single compression fitting and multiple grommets to accommodate a wide range of cable
diameters. Cable grounding and strain-relief hardware is not included in these kits. The 1-in kits may be used with indoor
cable stubs. The 0.75-in kit may be used for additional indoor fiber cables or bringing ground cables into the OSE-HD.
