• White and black color option
• 1, 2 and 4 port options

FiberGuide® 4x12 inch black straight sections in 12-foot lengths
CommScope now offers FiberGuide standard and divided straight sections in 12-foot lengths complementing the existing 6-foot offering. These extended lengths give our customers more customizable options and reduces the number of junctions needed to install a layout allowing for longer pieces to run together in a single span when connecting multiple straight sections. CommScope offers the free FiberGuide Design Pro tool that will aid in a FiberGuide design. Check it out!
