As long as you use the outdoor fiber cables, then you will must need the fiber optic splice closure.
Fiber optic splice closure is the equipment used to offer room to fuse splice optical fiber and also to provide protections for the fused fiber joint point and the fiber cables. Typical fiber optic splice closure are vertical type and horizontal type, there are various kinds of fiber splice closures suit for different applications, such as aerial, duct fiber cables and direct buried. Generally, fiber optic splice closures are used outdoors, some even used underwater.
For outside plant splice closure, there are two major types: horizontal splice closure and vertical splice closure. Below are the details of them.
1) Horizontal type fiber optic splice closure
Horizontal types closure look like a flat or cylindrical case, they provide space and protection for fiber optic cable splicing and joint. They can be mounted aerial, buried, or for underground applications. Horizontal types are used more often than vertical type (dome type) closures.
Most horizontal fiber optic splice closure can fit hundreds of fiber connection. They are designed to be waterproof and dust proof. They can be used in temperature ranging from -40°C to 85°C, can accommodate 70 to 106 kpa pressure and the case are usually made of high tensile construction plastic.
2) Vertical Type fiber optic splice closure
Vertical type of fiber optic splice closure looks like a dome, thus they are also called dome type. They meet the same specification as the horizontal types. They are designed for buried applications.
Sopto can provide full range of fiber optical closures for different cores of fiber cables. If there is any needs, then please do not hesitate to send us your inquiry.
