48-core 96-core optical fiber splice closure

48-core and 96-core optical fiber splice closures are robust, high-capacity enclosures designed for splicing, distributing, and protecting fiber optic cables in harsh outdoor environments.

Overview

Optical fiber splice closures (FOSCs) are essential for splicing, storing, and managing fiber optic cables in both straight-through and branching applications. They are widely used in aerial, direct-burial, wall-mounted, pipeline, and embedded installations. These closures provide mechanical protection, environmental sealing, and long-term reliability for fiber splices.

Key Features

Capacity: Available in 48-core and 96-core configurations, with some models supporting up to 144 cores. Material: High-strength engineering plastics such as ABS, PC, or PP, often injection-molded for durability and resistance to aging, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures. Environmental Protection: IP68-rated closures ensure dust-tight and waterproof performance, capable of withstanding prolonged water immersion and harsh climates.

Temperature Range: Typically operate reliably from -40°C to +75°C. Sealing Mechanism: Use elastic rubber seal rings, adhesive rubber strips, or sticky cincture to provide sweat-proof, airtight sealing. Closures can often be reopened for maintenance without compromising integrity.

Mechanical Strength: Resistant to fire, impact, bending, tension, and compression, ensuring protection of fiber splices during installation and operation. Splice Trays: Turnable, booklet-style trays maintain a minimum bending radius of 40mm, allowing organized fiber management and easy access for individual fibers.

Cable Entry and Exit

Ports: Typically feature 2-in/2-out or 6-in/6-out round ports, accommodating cable diameters from 7mm to 30mm depending on the model. Flexibility: Suitable for direct connections or splitting connections, allowing versatile network configurations.

Applications

Overhead Installations: Secure fiber management in elevated or exposed environments.

Pipeline Man-

Wells: Compact and durable for confined underground spaces. Embedded Situations: Ideal for duct or direct-burial installations where environmental protection is critical.

Telecommunications and CAT

V Networks: Protects splices in communication and cable TV systems.

Maintenance and Longevity

Designed for long service life (>30 years) with multiple openings and resealing cycles. Stainless steel components and high-quality plastics ensure corrosion resistance and repeated usability. Compact yet spacious design allows easy maintenance and fiber rearrangement without compromising sealing or protection.

Summary48-core and 96-core optical fiber splice closures provide a highly reliable, durable, and versatile solution for fiber optic network management. Their robust construction, environmental protection, and user-friendly design make them suitable for a wide range of outdoor and underground applications, ensuring long-term performance and secure fiber splicing.
