SB01 Splice Box Enclosure
The SB01 Splice Box Enclosure is used to house optical fibers in a
protective, moisture-free environment. Electrical utilities and
optical cable installers use the splice enclosure for inline splicing
or cable taps. The splice box, circular in shape, made from cast
ductile iron with a galvanized coating, is furnished with four
(2-aluminum, 2- plastic) plugged cable ports and (1) splice tray
capable of storing twelve (12) splices. Additional trays can be
purchased separately. Maximum tray capacity of the enclosure is eight
(8) including a transition tray, if needed.
Features: • One connector kit is required to secure each cable to
the enclosure. The cable connector kit is attached to the enclosure by
threading the outside body into the cable port. The cable is then
prepared for assembly into connector according to the installation
instructions provided. All optical units are inserted through the
connector, the cable is positioned into the connector body and secured
with a sleeve device and set screws. Each kit is sized specific to the
cable design and ordered separately.
• Re-entry is easily achieved by unscrewing the nut that secures the
housing cover. Special re-entry kits are not required.
• Manufactured from iron and steel, the SB01 splice box is bullet
resistant without the need for additional protective covering as found
with other splice enclosures.
• The SB01 can be premounted to the structure before completion of
the splicing phase. The enclosure has the internal capacity to store
approximately 25 feet (7.62 m) of buffer tube. This storage feature is
a cost savings, whereby eliminating the need for an external coil
storage bracket (stainless steel tube optical ground wire designs do
not apply here and will require a storage bracket).
• For future splicing, the SB01 is designed with an internal tray
holder that easily detaches from the enclosure; buffer tubes can be
uncoiled and the tray lowered to the ground.
