New agreement strengthens global distribution of modular fibre-management systems for mission-critical networks

Global cable and connector distributor WireMasters, Inc. has been authorised to distribute Clearfield, Inc.’s fibre-management platform and related connectivity products across global defence markets. The agreement extends WireMasters’ interconnect offering into scalable fibre architectures that support high-density, rapid-deploy communication systems.

The partnership gives system integrators and OEMs access to Clearfield’s FieldSmart FxDS frames, Clearview cassettes, fibre cables, CraftSmart enclosures and more through WireMasters’ established logistics and stocking network. The arrangement supports faster procurement cycles and provides local inventory for projects that demand short lead times and full product traceability.

Founded in 1988, WireMasters supplies wire, cable, connector and harness-management solutions for aerospace, defence and space programs worldwide. Clearfield, Inc., established in 2008, designs and manufactures cassette-based modular platforms for fibre protection and delivery, including distribution frames and field-deployable cabinets used in optical networks and data infrastructure.

“Adding Clearfield’s modular fibre-management systems to our portfolio allows us to serve the growing need for secure, high-bandwidth infrastructure across global defence programs,” said Clint Mendinsky, vice president of global sales and product management at WireMasters. “It’s a logical step that broadens our support for customers who already depend on us for mission-critical interconnect solutions.”

“WireMasters’ reach and proven capability in the defence sector create a strong channel for our wide-ranging optical fibre solutions platform,” said Anis Khemakhem, chief commercial officer at Clearfield. “Their experience and on-demand inventory model will help us bring our fibre systems to customers who require rapid, reliable deployment.”
