Product usage
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 re-using all components for future upgrades or re-accessing to the closure. (No tape, glue, heat-shrink tubes, or cable jacket preparation is needed).
Cable clamping
3 points cable clamps for extremely high cable retention, or simplified 1 point clamping systems are available.Grounding
Standard grounding assures electrical continuity between all cable ports (an external grounding plug is also available)Fibre management
Several fibre management solutions and configurations are available for loose tube, tight buffer or ribbon cable storage and management:- Standard splice trays
- FiberArt
- Splitter splice tray
All configurations are modular and allow easy upgrades.
Cabling configuration
- Standard
- Butt Mid-span
