What is 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 and 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.
:: Fiber Optic Splice Closure Types
For outside plant splice closure, there are two major types: horizontal splice closure and vertical splice closure.
1) Horizontal type
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
