Description

Watertight Closure for Fibre Optic Cables

  • 6 Cable ports,
  • Re-enterable, fully mechanical watertight system,
  • IP68 and pressurizable,
  • Capacity : 5 splice trays or 2 FiberArt modules,
  • Multi-cable sealing system (up to 12 cables per port),
  • Standard, Butt or Straight Mid-span configuration.

 

Application: 

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).

 

Cabling configuration :

  • Standard,

  • Butt Mid-Span,

  • Straight Mid-span.

(All available for aerial, buried, duct, or wall mounted applications).

 

Fiber management :

Several fiber management configurations are available for loose tube, tight buffer or ribbon cable:

  • Standard splice trays,

  • FiberArt.

All configurations are modular and allow easy upgrades.

 

Grounding :

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

 

Cable anchoring :

  • 3 points cable clamps for extremely high cable retention, or simplified 1 point anchoring systems are available.
