OPTICAL FIBER CLOSURES
1. General:
This specification covers the material and function requirements for the Fiber Optic
Closures used in the modern fiber optic transmission networks.
2. Features:
Closures are suitable for non-pressurized aerial, buried and underground application
for fiber optic cables.
Each size with not less than six pre-manufactured cables entries for 6 cables, each
cable entry can be used for up to 4 cables of small diameters using a special multi-
entry kit.
Installation instruction in both Arabic and English are required as an additional guide
to the professional installer.
Non –bolt system to closure assembly is preferred "for bolt system, bolts must be
stainless steel ".
3. Function:
Material of closure body: polypropylene or HDPE.
Splice tray holder is to swing into vertical position for easier access to the buffer tube
storage.
