Horizontal Fiber Splice Closure

Fiber optic splice closure is the equipment used to offer room for fusion splicing optical fibers.It also provides protection for fused fiber joint point and fiber cables. There are mainly two types of closures: vertical type and horizontal type.In this blog I will introduction horizontal fiber splice closure.

Horizontal type splice closures look like flat or cylindrical case. They provide space and protection for optical 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 splice closures can accommodate hundreds of fiber connections. They are designed to be waterproof and dust proof. They can be used in temperature ranging from -40°C to 85°C and can accommodate up to 106 kpa pressure. The cases are usually made of high tensile construction plastic.

Horizontal fiber optic splice closures are widely used in CATV, telecommunications and fiber optic networks. This product feature its fast and reliable sealing ability, it suit for use in duct, direct buried and aerial fiber optic cable installations.

A large variety of fiber splice closures are designed for different applications, such as aerial, duct fiber cables and direct burial. Generally speaking, they are usually used in outdoor environment, even underwater.Splice closures provide room for splicing outdoor fiber cables together. Fiber splice trays are needed too. They provide the perfect protection for outside plant fiber cable joints.
