8 cores Fiber Optical Terminal Box

Product Description

Fiber Optical Terminal Box (FOTB), also known as a **Fiber Termination Box** or **Optical Distribution Box**, is a critical component in fiber optic communication networks. It serves as a centralized interface for managing, distributing, and protecting fiber optic cables and connections. Designed for both indoor and outdoor installations, the FOTB ensures efficient organization, splicing, and maintenance of optical fibers while safeguarding them from environmental and mechanical damage.

Product Installation

1. Tools and Materials Preparation

• Ensure the following tools/materials are ready:  

 - Fiber optic terminal box (wall-mounted or rack-mounted)  

 - Fiber optic cables (indoor/outdoor)  

 - Fiber optic splice trays or pigtails  

 - Fiber cleaver, stripper, and fusion splicer  

 - Screwdrivers, cable ties, and mounting screws  

 - Alcohol wipes, lint-free cloth  

 - OTDR or optical power meter (for testing)  

2. Site Selection and Mounting

•Choose a suitable location:

Avoid areas with excessive moisture, dust, or direct sunlight.  

Ensure accessibility for future maintenance.  

•Mount the terminal box:

For wall-mounted boxes: Drill holes, insert anchors, and secure the box with screws.  

For rack-mounted boxes: Align with the rack and fasten using provided brackets.  

3. Cable Routing and Preparation

•Route fiber cables:

Feed incoming/outgoing fiber cables through the box’s entry ports.  

Leave a 1–1.5m service loop for slack.  

•Strip and clean fibers:

Remove the cable jacket and buffer tube using a stripper.  

Clean bare fibers with alcohol wipes to remove contaminants.  

4. Splicing or Termination

•Fusion splicing (for splice-based boxes):

Place fibers into the splice tray.  

Use a fusion splicer to join fibers, then protect splices with heat-shrink sleeves.  

•Pigtail termination (for connector-based boxes):

Install SC/LC connectors onto pigtails.  

Secure pigtails into adapter panels.  

5. Cable Management

Organize fibers in splice trays or routing channels.  

Secure excess cable with Velcro straps or cable ties.  

Avoid tight bends (min. bend radius ≥ 30mm).  

6. Testing and Verification

•Perform continuity testing:

Use an OTDR or optical power meter to check insertion loss and continuity.  

Ensure losses are within specifications (typically <0.3dB per connection).  

•Label all ports/fibers:

Apply labels to cables, ports, and splice points for easy identification.  

7. Final Inspection and Closure

Ensure all screws, covers, and seals are tightly closed.  

Verify dust/water resistance for outdoor installations.  

Document fiber assignments and test results.  

8. Safety and Compliance

Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines.  

Wear safety glasses when splicing or cutting fibers.  

Key Notes

Always handle fibers gently to avoid micro-bends or breaks.  

Maintain cleanliness to prevent signal loss from contamination.  

For outdoor installations, use waterproof terminal boxes and seal entry points with silicone gel.
