What Is Fiber Optic Box Outdoor and Its Functions

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:

INDOOR USE

NO waterproof ring around the lid internal side

OUTDOOR USE

WHITE waterproof ring around the lid internal side

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:

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.
