Brief Introduction Of Fiber Optic Terminal Box

One of the most important components in a fiber optic installation is the fiber optic termination box. The fiber optic junction box got its name because it is a junction box for fiber optic cabling to protect and distribute the cabling to different links in the FTTH network.

A Fiber Termination Box (FTB), also known as an Optical Termination Box (OTB), is a small fiber management product. It is widely used in FTTx cabling of optical fiber and cable. They provide an ideal solution for the construction of entrance terminals, telecommunications cabinets, cross-connects, computer rooms and other controlled environments.

In terms of installation environment, there are indoor and outdoor fiber optic terminal boxes. Indoor cables act as transition points between upstream cables and horizontal cables, giving operators more flexibility in cable management. Additionally, the indoor FTB provides space for additional cables and fiber terminations for fiber splicing.

Outdoor environment sealed to distribute fiber for FTTX network. They are also designed for fiber splicing, termination and cable management.

The main application of fiber optic junction boxes is as a terminal for different optical cables and to connect cable cores and pigtails. It is important to note that the cable can be multi-conductor. If you have a 4-fiber cable (this cable is called a 4-fiber cable). Once this cable is in the terminal box, it can be split into 4 pigtails so that there are 4 different patch cords. If you have a 12-core fiber optic cable, use a 12-core fiber optic terminal box, which can be split into 12 pigtails.
