    Opgw optical cable splice box terminal junction box optical cable matching hardware

    The ADSS/OPGW Metal Junction Box, also known as a splicing box or Metal Joint Junction Box, is designed to house fiber core splices for outdoor intermediate optical cables. It connects trunk cables like OPGW to patch panels in control rooms. The FOSC OPGW, part of the FOSC 400 closure family, is a single-ended closure system specially developed for use on the optical grounding wires ofoverhead electrical power lines. The closure is suitable for use above ground; it can be attached to high voltage towers, poles, walls or other support. AFL's SB01 splice enclosure provides protection from all types of elements. From weather to bullets, the iron and steel construction requires no additional protective covering. Furnished with four plugged cable ports (2 aluminum and 2 plastic) for either All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) or. The aluminium alloy joint box are applicable for connection protection of special optical cables,with the functions of direct and branch connection, with the maximum of 6 optical cables, which mainly for overhead rods and towers.
