A 24-core fiber joint enclosure, also known as a fiber optic splice closure, is a protective housing used to connect and safeguard fiber optic cables, ensuring the continuity of the optical signal. These enclosures are typically used in outdoor or underground environments, such as in telecommunications or data networks, to protect spliced fibers from environmental factors like moisture, dust, and mechanical damage.
Key Features:
- Capacity: Supports up to 24 fiber cores, meaning it can hold and protect splices for up to 24 individual fibers.
- Sealing: It is designed to be watertight and dustproof, often featuring rubber gaskets, clamps, or heat-shrink sealing materials.
- Durability: Constructed from corrosion-resistant, high-strength materials like ABS plastic or stainless steel, providing protection from environmental conditions.
- Cable Entry and Exit: Typically supports multiple cable entry and exit points for flexibility in cable routing.
- Mounting: Can be mounted on poles, walls, or buried underground, depending on network design.
- Accessories: Comes with splice trays to organize and secure fiber splices, protective sleeves, and mechanisms for strain relief to prevent damage to the fibers.
Applications:
- Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments
- Local area networks (LAN)
- Metropolitan area networks (MAN)
- Long-distance telecommunications networks
The enclosure ensures the fibers remain safely connected, preventing signal loss and maintaining optimal performance over long distances
