High-Performance Fiber Splice Closure for Harsh Environments – IP68 Rated

1.Prepare the Cable & Work Area

*Strip the outer jacket of the incoming fiber optic cables using a cable stripper.
*Clean and organize fibers, ensuring no damage to the protective coating.
*Choose a dry, stable mounting location (pole, wall, or underground)

2.Mount the Splice Closure

*Secure the closure base to the desired location using appropriate clamps or brackets. 

*Ensure proper sealing (if waterproof) and strain relief for cables

3.Splice & Arrange Fibers

*Carefully splice fibers using a fusion splicer or mechanical splice connectors.
*Place spliced fibers neatly into splice trays, avoiding sharp bends (follow bend radius rules).

4.Seal the Closure

*Close the lid securely, ensuring all gaskets or sealing tapes are properly applied.
*For outdoor use, apply waterproofing gel or heat-shrink tubing if required.

5.Test & Document

*Perform an OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) or power meter test to verify splice quality.
*Label fibers and update network documentation for future maintenance.
