Over 36 Years of Building American Enclosures
Fiber Optic Enclosures and Fiber Distribution Cabinets
American Products designs and manufactures a complete range of fiber optic enclosures and fiber distribution cabinets for telecommunications providers building out FTTH, FTTP, and FTTN networks. Every enclosure is built at our facility in Strafford, Missouri, using U.S.-sourced components wherever possible, and every fiber integration is performed by FOA-certified technicians in our dedicated clean room. Whether you need a compact indoor splice box or a large-scale outdoor fiber distribution hub, we deliver solutions engineered for durability, security, and long-term network performance.

The AP LIBERTY Series: Outdoor Fiber Distribution Hubs
The AP LIBERTY Series is our purpose-built passive optical network (PON) fiber distribution cabinet, designed specifically for outside plant (OSP) fiber deployments. Available in multiple configurations, a single AP LIBERTY cabinet can serve anywhere from 144 to 864 homes using SC/APC fiber, or 288 to 1,728 connections with LC/APC fiber — making it a versatile choice for rural broadband buildouts and suburban FTTH projects alike.
Each AP LIBERTY fiber cabinet ships fully loaded with rack spools, fiber management panels, and optional pre-terminated pigtails. Our FOA-certified technicians integrate the fiber in-house before the cabinet ever leaves our facility, so it arrives ready for field installation. If your network needs change, the LIBERTY’s hot-swappable design lets you add or replace outside plant fibers without cutting service to existing customers — simply remove the bottom panel to access connections and fiber components with no resplicing required.
The AP LIBERTY is rated to NEMA 3R or 4X standards and features front and rear access for convenient maintenance. We also stock popular configurations through our Quick Ship program, with lead times as short as two weeks.
The AP BUNKER Series: Below-Grade Fiber Enclosures
For deployments where aesthetics, vandalism prevention, or space constraints matter, the patented AP BUNKER offers the industry’s first below-grade, single-handle latching fiber distribution hub. Rated to NEMA Type 6, the AP BUNKER protects your fiber investment by keeping it underground and out of harm’s way — ideal for residential neighborhoods, municipal right-of-way areas, and HOA-restricted zones.
The AP BUNKER supports up to 288 fiber counts and houses a complete fiber management system on a 9RU rack frame, with watertight cable entries and strain relief built in. Its single-handle latch design ensures a reliable seal every time, while the integrated mounting frame provides easy lift-assisted access for technicians.
Indoor Fiber Termination and Splice Enclosures
American Products offers a full line of indoor fiber optic enclosures for splicing, termination, and structured fiber management. These compact solutions serve as organized transition points for outside plant cables entering a building, data center, or central office.
Our rack mount fiber enclosures (AM-903, AM-906, AM-804, AM-8012) fit standard 19-inch or 23-inch racks and scale from a 1U patch panel up to a high-density 4U termination chassis supporting 96 adapters. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum with LEXAN polycarbonate doors, they are Telcordia tested and designed for telecom, broadband, enterprise, and FTTx applications.
For locations where rack space is limited, our wall mount fiber enclosures provide the same quality construction in a compact footprint. Models range from the single-plate AM-FWM enclosure for small fiber runs to the AM-206 and AM-106 for medium- and higher-density termination needs. Every model supports multiple connector types, including LC, SC, ST, and FC adapters.
Active Cabinets for Fiber and Power Equipment
When your network design calls for active electronics alongside fiber connections, our multi-bay outdoor cabinets — including the AP INDEPENDENCE, AP FREEDOM, and AP PATRIOT series — provide the space and environmental protection you need. These fiber cabinets accept standard 19-inch or 23-inch rack-mounted equipment, with options for battery backup and power systems depending on the configuration.
Our team integrates and grooms all fiber, power, and battery backup cabling before the cabinet ships. We also outfit active enclosures with climate control options — heat exchangers, fan systems, or air conditioning units — matched to your deployment environment and the equipment housed inside.
Factory Fiber Integration by FOA-Certified Technicians
What sets American Products apart from other fiber cabinet manufacturers is our in-house fiber optic integration capability. Every team member who handles fiber is Fiber Optic Association (FOA) certified, and all integration work takes place in a dedicated clean room equipped with a positive pressure system to prevent dust contamination that could degrade signal quality.
We also maintain an in-house thermal chamber for spot-checking pre-terminated fiber cables at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Cabinets can ship with pre-terminated pigtails, loaded splice trays, optical splitters, and tested patch panels, reducing field labor and accelerating your deployment timeline.

How to Choose the Right Fiber Optic Enclosure
Selecting the right fiber cabinet depends on several factors specific to your network design. Our enclosure specialists walk every provider through a consultative process to identify the best solution, covering questions such as whether you need a passive PON enclosure or an active cabinet with power equipment, which connector type and fiber count your deployment requires, and what environmental and climate control considerations apply to your installation site.
From splice trays and pre-terminated fiber to security features and cable management provisions, we tailor each enclosure to fit your network. If a standard configuration does not meet your specifications, our engineering team can design a fully custom solution.
