Fiber splitter box is a key distribution equipment in fiber to the home (FTTH) and fiber to the building (FTTB) networks, mainly used to solve the problem of fiber core resource allocation and achieve flexible scheduling of optical signals.
The key functions supported by structural design is mainly 4 parts:
- Fiber optic cable fixing components: the cable entrance and exit will configure with cable clamps, nylon tie, buffer tubes to ensure the introduced fiber optic cable is stable and sealed in face, not movable;
- Distribution board termination: Implement orderly connection and scheduling of fiber optic patch cables, fiber optic pigtails, fiber adapters;
- Signal splitting plate: Most of the fiber splitter box will have splitter tube slot for the plc splitter to fix and splitting, and storage the redundant fibers in a splice cassette.
- Modular Expansion: Supports on-demand replacement or upgrade of spectrometers.
Fiber distribution
adapter plates or splice slots for cable distribution, storage and allocation
Fiber splitting
splitter slots or adapter holders for plc splitter input and output fix and winding
Cable fixing
cable clamps, metal kits for strength members
The core functions of the fiber splitter box can be summarized as follows:
Fiber optic cable connection and fiber distribution
As the physical connection node between the distribution cable (backbone cable) and the household ftth drop cable, it realizes the fiber terminal of the cable cores (i.e. optical termination to pluggable ports) and distribution scheduling.
Fiber cable splicing and protection
Fiber optic splitter box provide a sealed space for fo cable splicing operation, and use structures such as splice trays and storage areas to coil and secure fiber optic joints and redundant fibers, as well as provide physical protection to avoid damage.
Optical signal allocation and expansion
Some fiber splitter distribution box can be equipped with optical fiber splitters (abs splitter module or plug-in splitter) to achieve primary or secondary splitting of optical signals, distributing single optical signals to multiple user ports and supporting network expansion.
Environmental adaptability guarantee
Yingda fiber optic splitter terminal box basically equipped with IP55 level protection capability, it can operate in environments ranging from -40 ℃ to+70 ℃, and resist dust and moisture intrusion through a sealed structure. Some designs also integrate heat dissipation optimization (such as layered winding structure) or water leakage monitoring function to enhance equipment reliability. The outdoor fiber splitter box can meet ip65, IP66 to ip68 waterproof grade.
Space adaptation and flexible deployment
All splitter distribution box support various installation methods such as wall mount and pole mount, aerial hanging,etc, the patented design (such as adjustable closure mechanism) enables it to adapt to narrow spaces such as corridors and weak current wells, significantly improving deployment flexibility.
Conclusion
Fiber optic splitter distribution boxes have become the core equipment for achieving efficient fiber access in ODN optical distribution networks through integrated connection, protection, distribution, splitting, and environmental adaptation functions.
FAQ
What is the price of a fiber optic splitter box?
The fiber box price is greatly affected by capacity, material, protection level, and specific functional configuration. All Yingda products are made from new materials, so the quality is guaranteed. Boxes with the same number of cores may have significant price differences.
Material cost: The 304 stainless steel box is about 50% more expensive than ordinary sheet metal
Capacity difference: 16 cores are priced more than 60% lower than 48 cores
Protection capability: IP55 outdoor box prices are generally 40% higher than indoor models
Splitting function: The price of models with plug-in optical splitters will increase by 20% -30%
How to choose a suitable fiber splitter box?
Yingda recommended that small and micro businesses choose indoor weak current boxes, 8-12 core basic models. If it is a residential corridor renovation, outdoor pole/wall installation should be used, such as 16 core or 24 core fiber distribution boxes with splitters. If it is an enterprise level deployment that requires multi network integration access, 48 core or larger interfaces distribution box should be selected. The specific installation method and configuration can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
What are the models of fiber optic splitter distribution boxes?
Yingda’s fiber optic boxes are divided into FTB, FDB, CTO, FAT, GJS types. FTB is generally an indoor terminal box that is not waterproof, only dustproof, and has a relatively small number of cores, such as 12 cores or less. Other styles are universal for indoor and outdoor use, with a large number of cores. Among them, FDB is a fiber distribution box with ordinary circular fiber optic cable ports, CTO is a splitter distribution box with reinforced waterproof adapters, FAT holes are quick installation waterproof joints with ordinary adapters, and GJS is mainly used as a fiber optic splice box for fusion splicing and distribution.
What are the well-known brands of fiber optic splitter terminal box?
Internationally renowned fiber boxes include 3M, CORNING, TE, etc., but their prices are too expensive. Our company’s fiber optic distribution boxes and fiber optic terminal boxes can fully meet your needs, supporting customized styles and silk screen logos, which can help your brand promotion and market development. Welcome to inquire.
What discount can you offer on bulk purchase of fiber boxes?
Our customers are all operators and distributors, without retail, so they are all wholesale prices. Based on your annual procurement needs and project budget, we will offer a certain discount during the actual transaction process. Let’s discuss in detail.
What is the protection levels of fiber splitter box?
The indoor fiber optic splitter box can achieve IP45, IP55 and other levels within 20 years for dust prevention and sealing. The outdoor fiber splitter box meet different levels of requirements such as IP65, 66, 67, 68, etc. Each style of box is different, but the lowest rating is IP65.
Which fiber splitter distribution boxes can be used underwater?
Which fiber splitter distribution boxes can be used underwater?
Yingda independently developed several boxes specifically for IP68 underwater use, choose the one which you like.
