What is the difference between an optical cable splice box and an optical fiber terminal box?

Optical cable splice box is a splicing part that connects two or more cables together and has protective parts. It must be used in the construction of optical cable line engineering, and it is one of the very important equipment. The quality of optical cable joint box directly affects the optical cable. The quality of the line and the service life of the optical cable line.

The optical fiber terminal box is a device that splits an optical cable into multiple single optical fibers. It is generally used on the wall to help the fusion splicing between optical fibers and optical fibers, the fusion splicing of optical fibers and pigtails, and the handover of optical connectors. to protect.

The main difference between the optical cable splice box and the optical fiber terminal box is that the splice box is responsible for the fusion splicing of the optical cable and the optical cable, that is, the in and out of the box are optical cables, while the terminal box is one end of the optical cable and one end of the pigtail. There is also better sealing and waterproofing of the optical cable splice box, which can be used outdoors.

Horizontal Type Fiber Optic Splicing Closure

There are also many names for optical cable splice boxes. Some are called optical cable splice packages, optical cable splice packages, optical cable splice boxes, and even "gun barrels". It belongs to the mechanical pressure sealing joint system, which is mainly composed of four parts: joint box cover, fixed component, joint box sealing component and residual fiber storage tray. It is a continuous protection device that provides optical, sealing and mechanical strength continuity between adjacent optical cables. .

It is mainly used for the straight-through and branch connection of various structures of optical cables such as overhead, pipeline, direct burial and other radiation methods to protect the connected optical cables. Therefore, the junction box needs to have the advantages of good sealing, waterproof, shock resistance, flame resistance, oxidation resistance, etc., to enhance the service life of the line, in order to ensure the connection of communication, network, CATV cable TV, optical cable network, etc.

In our daily use, the optical cable splice box can be used in various ways such as buried, overhead, pipeline, and well, and is widely used in optical cable laying applications in network, communication, cable television, optical cable network systems and other scenarios.
