Optical Cable Junction Box: A Durable And ''delicate'' Communication Component
May 17, 2023
The optical cable splice box is a component used in the communication industry. It is a plastic box and is mainly used for the connection of optical cables.
The optical cable splice box is made of reinforced plastic, which has the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, mature structure, reliable sealing, and convenient construction and use. The application of optical cable splicing box is mainly used for the straight-through and branch connection of various structural optical cables such as overhead, pipeline, direct burial, etc., as well as the connection in the terminal room of structural optical cables, usually installed indoors or in non-open outdoor places , cannot be used in the open air without shelter.
The internal structure design of the optical cable splice box is very reasonable, mainly composed of the following parts: The support frame is the main body of the internal components and plays a major supporting role. The optical cable fixing device is used for fixing the optical cable and the base and fixing the optical cable strengthening element. It is used for the internal fixing of the fiber optic cable strengthening core, the clamping and fixing of the fiber optic cable and the support frame, and the sealing and fixing of the fiber optic cable and the cable entering and exiting the splice box with a heat shrinkable sheath.
The optical fiber placement device can store optical fiber connectors and remaining optical fibers in an orderly manner. The length of the remaining optical fibers should not be less than 1 meter, and the curved diameter of the remaining optical fiber reels should not be less than 35mm. Among them, the storage tray can have up to four layers, and the capacity is large, and the storage tray can be adjusted according to the number of cores connected by the optical cable. Fiber optic connector protection Put the heat-shrinkable protective sleeve on the fiber core fixing clip in the storage tray, and the silica gel fixing method can also be used.
The optical cable is sealed with the splice box. Use abrasive cloth to polish the joint between the splice box and the optical cable at the entrance of the optical cable and the base. Use a detergent to wipe the polished place, paste aluminum foil, and then place the heat shrinkable tube on the entrance of the splice box. At the cable, use a blowtorch to heat slowly in the middle first and then to both ends, so that the entire heat shrinkable tube can be completely shrunk.
The fiber optic cable junction box must not be exposed to the outdoor environment during use, as it will be easily damaged and affect the service life.
