Communication fiber optic cable splice closure is a device used for fiber optic cable connection and protection, usually installed outdoors or underground. Its function is to connect two optical cables together to form a continuous optical path, while protecting the optical cable connector from the external environment and ensuring the transmission quality of optical signals.
Communication fiber optic cable splice closures are usually composed of splice closure body, protective cover, connectors, seals, fixings, etc. The splice closure body is the core component of the splice closure body, which is usually made of plastic or metal materials, and has the characteristics of waterproof, dustproof and corrosion-proof. The protective cover is the external protective structure of the splice closure and is usually made of metal or non-metallic materials, which can effectively protect the splice closure body from physical damage from the outside world. A connector is a component used to connect two fiber optic cables, usually including two types: plug and socket. The seal is used to seal the inside of the splice closure to prevent external substances such as moisture and dust from entering the splice closure inside. Fixings are used to secure the splice closure to the ground or other supports.
The use of communication fiber optic cable splice closures can effectively protect the safety and reliability of optical cable connections, and at the same time, it can also improve the maintenance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs of optical cables. It is widely used in the connection and protection of optical cables in communications, radio and television, electric power, transportation and other fields.
