National  CSE C 69-31;CSE C 69-32;FT/FTRD/7095;FT/FTRD/7097
Description

Watertight Closure for Fibre Optic Cables

  • 2 Cable ports,
  • Re-enterable, fully mechanical watertight system,
  • IP68 and pressurizable,
  • Capacity : 4 splice trays, 48 splices,
  • Multi-cable sealing system (up to 12 cables per port).

 

Cabling configuration :

  • 1 Standard port per side, each allowing up to 12 cables.

 

Splice management :

Four plastic splice trays allows to store and identify up to 48 Heat-Shrink splices. Plastic combs for buffer tubes and pig-tails retention are moulded in each tray.

 

Grounding :

  • Standard grounding assures electrical continuity between all cable ports (individual cable grounding is also available)

 

Cable anchoring :

  • WTC05 is compatible with the Nexans cable clamp range. 3 points cable clamps for extremely high cable retention, or simplified 1 point anchoring systems are available.

All configurations are modular and allow easy upgrades.

 

The main functions are :

  • to protect splices and bare fibers from the environment and unwanted handlers,

  • to efficiently and easily store, manage and identify FO splices and fibers.

 

Conception

Sealing system :

  • Fully mechanical sealing system for reduced installation and re-entry time.

The top shell, sealed with a gasket, can be easily installed and removed without special tools or torque control.

  • Cable sealing devices based on a mechanical compression system : this allows to re-use all components for future upgrades or re-access to the closure.

(No tape, glue, heat-shrink tubes, or cable jacket preparation is needed).
