24/48/96 cores Horizontal fiber splice closure IP68

Product Introduction

The 6 Series horizontal fiber optic splice closure serves as a foundational component for demanding telecommunication networks, engineered specifically to protect sensitive fiber connections in unpredictable climates. Encased in a structurally reinforced polymer shell, this IP68-rated enclosure defends against extreme surface temperature variations, intense ultraviolet exposure, and prolonged moisture contact. Network planners frequently deploy this unit for direct burial in dry earth or submerge it within water-free manholes, relying on its resilient architecture for decades of continuous operation. Beyond its physical defenses, the enclosure meets rigorous international compliance standards, including ISO9001, CE, and RoHS, ensuring it aligns with the strict requirements of global telecommunication deployments.

For procurement teams and network developers requiring specific adaptations, this closure supports extensive OEM and ODM customization. Each unit is prepared for global transit using secure double-layer cartons and reinforced pallets, guaranteeing the equipment arrives at the installation site in pristine condition, ready for immediate deployment and reducing the risk of transit-related damage.

Product Advantage

1. Engineered for Extreme Outdoor Climates and IP68 Protection

Constructed from heavy-duty, age-resistant engineering plastics such as PP, PC, or ABS, this horizontal closure thrives in unforgiving outdoor settings. The exterior housing undergoes brutal water pressure and impact resistance testing before leaving the facility, ensuring the internal fibers remain entirely isolated from environmental threats. Whether facing scorching summer heat, freezing winter temperatures, or relentless UV radiation, the structural integrity of the polymer prevents cracking or degradation. This makes the unit an exceptionally reliable choice for long-term outdoor deployment, including direct burial scenarios or underground manhole installations where environmental conditions fluctuate wildly throughout the year.

2. Innovative Wound Sealing Tape for Rapid Airtight Protection

Moving away from complicated, multi-part gasket systems, this closure utilizes an intuitive wound sealing tape mechanism. Field technicians simply wrap the specialized mastic tape around the incoming optical cable at the access port until the accumulated diameter perfectly matches the hole size. Pressing the tape into place yields a firm, tacky resistance that instantly forms a watertight and dustproof barrier.

• Reduces field inventory by eliminating the need for various pre-sized rubber grommets.
• Accelerates installation times with a simple, wrap-and-press application that requires no specialized heating tools.
• Provides consistent airtight defense against microscopic dust particles and moisture ingress, maintaining a pristine internal environment.
• Lowers the overall cost of secondary re-entry, as the tape can be easily removed and reapplied during scheduled maintenance.

3. Tool-Free Re-Entry and Scalable Internal Storage Capacity

Network maintenance and future capacity upgrades require swift access without the burden of carrying specialized toolkits up utility poles or down into cramped manholes. The exterior mechanical latches release with a firm, audible click, allowing technicians to open the housing using only their hands. Once inside, the generously proportioned interior provides ample room for coiling and storing delicate optical fibers. This expansive layout prevents tight bending, safeguarding fiber integrity and minimizing optical attenuation over long distances. The internal architecture supports flexible capacity scaling, comfortably accommodating anywhere from 24 to 96 cores. This adaptability gives network operators the freedom to expand their infrastructure as regional data demands grow, entirely bypassing the need to replace the entire enclosure and disrupting existing connections.

4. Slide-In-Lock Splice Trays with 90-Degree Pivot

The internal Fiber Optic Splice Trays (FOSTs) are engineered with a precision slide-in locking mechanism, enabling technicians to add or remove individual trays in seconds without wrestling with tiny screws. Each tray pivots smoothly on its hinge, opening to a full 90-degree angle to provide unobstructed visual and physical access to the splices beneath. The carefully calculated bend radius of these routing guides conforms strictly to international telecommunication standards, effectively eliminating macro-bending signal loss that can degrade network performance. Furthermore, the trays are meticulously designed to handle both bunchy and ribbon fiber types side-by-side. They support uncut (straight-through) and cut (branching) configurations with exceptional organizational clarity, ensuring that even densely packed 96-core setups remain easy to navigate and troubleshoot.

5. Versatile Routing for Complex Network Topologies

Adaptability remains a core requirement for extensive fiber rollouts, and this closure integrates effortlessly into virtually any network topology. It accepts both loose tube (bunchy) and ribbon cables, providing network engineers with the flexibility to standardize on a single enclosure model across an entire regional deployment. The mounting hardware and structural design support a wide array of installation methods. Technicians can securely fasten the unit to swaying aerial messenger wires, mount it flat against concrete walls, strap it to wooden or metal utility poles, bury it directly underground in harsh soil, or slide it into restrictive duct systems. This universal compatibility heavily streamlines procurement logistics, simplifies technician training programs, and reduces the number of unique SKUs required in the warehouse.
