Clearfield (NASDAQ:CLFD) has announced the launch of a comprehensive Distributed Test Access Point (TAP) architecture solution, expanding its portfolio for fiber network providers. This innovation aims to simplify fiber deployment across various environments, including rural areas, urban settings, and multi-dwelling units (MDUs).

The expanded portfolio addresses different deployment scenarios: Rural deployments can benefit from lower up-front material and splicing costs, though with some trade-offs in network upgradability.
