Fiber Optic Closure Basics and Types
2021-03-16
Fiber Optic Splice Closure is a fiber management product typically used with outdoor fiber optical cables. It provides space and protection for the fiber optic cable splicing and joint. Fiber splice closure is used for aerial, strand-mount FTTH "tap" locations where drop cables are spliced to distribution cables. Hanlan-Tech supplies two types of fiber splice closures which are the horizontal (inline) type and the vertical (dome) type. Both are made of excellent engineering plastics to be waterproof and dustproof. And with various port types, they can fit different fiber optic core numbers. More details about splice closure.
Horizontal Type Fiber Optic 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.
Vertical Type Fiber Optic 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.
Hanlan-Tech 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.
