Mechanically Preconnected Horizontal Splicing Box

The mechanically preconnected horizontal splicing box connects feeder lines to subscriber drops in FTTH networks. Because technicians access distribution points often, this in-line enclosure features a screwless flip-over design. Consequently, field teams open and close the housing without hand tools. The compact body protects fusion splices against harsh outdoor weather. Therefore, network operators achieve rapid subscriber activation while keeping optical splices dry, organized, and secure.

Key Features

• Screwless Mechanical Enclosure: Fast-latching, screwless flip-over outer housing allows field technicians to open and close the unit without fastening bolts, accelerating subscriber drop installations.

• High-Capacity Splicing and Splitting: Houses up to 6 hinged splice trays accommodating a maximum capacity of 144 single-core fusion splices, with dedicated space to install up to 4 units of 1:8 compact PLC splitters.

• Hinged Splice Tray System: Each 24-fiber splice tray is hinged on one side, allowing independent swinging and clear access to lower trays without disturbing routed fiber in adjacent layers.

• Flexible Cable Ingress Layout: Features 1 uncut mid-span port and 2 branch distribution ports for feeder lines, alongside 24 individual drop cable outlets.

• Rugged Outer Shell: Molded from polypropylene reinforced with glass fiber (PP+GF), resisting harsh outdoor deployment environments.

Product Configuration

• Enclosure Body: In-line / horizontal structure with a mechanical seal and tool-free flip-over access lid.

• Internal Splice Trays: Pre-fitted with up to 6 pieces of Type 38# single-core fiber splice trays (112 x 68 x 8 mm each). Ribbon fiber splicing is not supported.

• Splitter Mounting Area: Internal chassis accommodates up to 4 units of 1:8 compact PLC splitters.

• Standard Accessories Included: Allen spanner (1 pc), insulation tape (1 roll), protection sleeves (12 pcs/bag, on demand), nylon cable ties (1 bag), choke plugs (2 pcs), installation manual (1 set), 4 mm winding pipe (1 roll), EVA tube (1 roll), mechanical sealing kit (1 set), 16-25 mm hose clamps (4 pcs), tighten tool (1 set), desiccant (1 pc), cleaning paper (1 pc), and silicone oil (1 pc).

• Optional Mounting and Grounding Kits: Factory air valve (1 set), external ground lead (1 set), pole mounting fittings (1 set), and wall mounting fittings (1 set).

Applications

• Outside Plant Aerial Runs: Deployed directly along pole lines or messenger wires in aerial distribution setups.

• Direct Wall and Pole Deployments: Fastened to outdoor walls, telecom poles, and distribution points via dedicated mounting hardware.

• Underground and Manhole Utility Plants: Placed inside underground telecom vaults, access manholes, and pipeline routing systems requiring water ingress protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can this horizontal splicing box house ribbon fiber?

  No. The installed Type 38# splice trays only accommodate single-core fusion protection sleeves; ribbon fiber mass fusion is not supported.

• What drop cable types fit into the 24 outlet ports?

  The 24 drop ports accommodate 2 x 3 mm flat soft drop cables as well as 3-8 mm round drop lines.

• Does this box require specialty heat-shrink equipment during field closure?

  No. It relies on a mechanical seal system and a screwless flip-over closure, eliminating heat torches during routine access.

• What splitters can be installed internally?

  The enclosure supports up to 4 units of 1:8 compact PLC splitters alongside standard splicing trays.

The preconnected horizontal splice closure provides an IP68-rated PP+GF shell for aerial, wall, and underground FTTx networks. Because the screwless flip-over lid allows fast field access, crews activate new subscriber lines without handling complex screws. Therefore, this horizontal enclosure delivers durable protection and clean optical routing across diverse outside plant deployments.
