Outdoor fiber optic boxes are designed specifically for outdoor use, and their most important feature is waterproofing. Therefore, the most important factor in distinguishing indoor and outdoor enclosures is whether the enclosure itself has a waterproof design.
For example, the one on the left is an indoor box without a waterproof ring, while the one on the right is an outdoor box with a waterproof ring.
Take the FAT-506F fiber optic box as an example to illustrate:
Yingda fiber optic box outdoor type generally offer waterproof rating from IP65 to IP68. For example, FTTH boxes typically used in homes with drop cable outlets meet IP65 ratio. Boxes with higher IP68 waterproof ratings require more sophisticated structures and waterproofing devices. Then our FDB0216F series and MST FTTA box series can meet this standards, details like below:
IP65 FTTH Boxes (Outdoor)
IP68 Fiber Optic Boxes
If you need to know the specific waterproof level of each box, please consult the salesperson.
Main Functions of Fiber Optic Box Outdoor
An outdoor fiber optic box is a key device used to connect, protect, and manage fiber optic connectors in fiber optic communication networks. It is primarily used outdoors and is suitable for outdoor installations such as overhead, pole, wall, ducted, and direct buried installations. Its core functions include:
Fiber Splice Protection
Fiber optic box outdoor can provide physical protection against water, dust, and mechanical damage, ensuring stable operation of splices or connectors in harsh environments. Protection levels typically reach IP65 or IP68, and the operating temperature range is -40°C to +80°C.

Fiber Distribution and Fiber Management
Outdoor cable distribution box supports straight-through or branch connections between trunk cable and branch cables. Adapters enable flexible docking of fiber optic patch cords and devices, facilitating network expansion and maintenance.

Environmental Adaptability
Outdoor fiber box mostly adopt engineering plastic or metal housings, UV-resistant and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for long-term outdoor exposure.
Yingda is a manufacturer specializing in the production of fiber optic box outdoor. We can provide customers with single or diversified product solutions, including fiber optic terminal boxes, fiber optic distribution boxes, fiber optic splice boxes, fiber optic splitter boxes, fiber optic cable splice closures, and outdoor distribution cabinets. Among them, optical cable splice closures (dome-type) focuses on single-point splicing protection and optical cable cross connect cabinet (ODFs) supports centralized scheduling of multiple optical fibers.
