The HDRA system of hybrid fiber distribution racks distributes the electrical and fiber components of the SMPTE hybrid connectors over separate optical and electrical components allowing for simplified in-wall installation. The discrete optical and electrical elements between boxes can now be interconnected with conventional distribution-type fiber and Gepco's HDP electrical cable, thereby eliminating the need for specialized on-site hybrid fiber termination.

In addition, the HDRA system offers improved field serviceability. The internal fiber jumpers can be easily replaced when damaged or worn, eliminating the costly need to completely replace the SMPTE hybrid connectors. The HDRA chassis is constructed from rugged, powder-coated steel, all optical components feature machine-polished ceramic ferrules with ceramic sleeves, and the electrical connectors are rugged, metal shell CPC types.
