Optical cable splice closure electro base QV/FOV1-48F-M-TCOM — 48 fibers, mechanical ports

Optical cable splice closure electro base QV/FOV1-48F-M-TCOM is a compact enclosure designed to protect fiber splices and manage up to 48 optical fibers. The unit incorporates mechanical ports for secure cable entry and organized splice trays to simplify routing and storage of fiber splices. Built for both outdoor and indoor installations, this closure offers physical protection against environmental factors while enabling straightforward maintenance and network expansion.

Advantages

The closure provides a sealed and robust housing that protects fiber splices from moisture, dust and mechanical damage. Mechanical cable ports enable quick, tool-free securing of incoming and outgoing cables, reducing installation time. Internal splice trays keep fiber routing organized and minimize stress on fiber joints. The design supports easy access for technicians and allows expansion up to 48 fibers without altering the main enclosure.

Suitable for

• Outdoor aerial and underground fiber deployments
• Indoor entry points and building distribution closets
• Telecommunications and data network backbone or distribution links
• FTTx installations and local fiber branch splicing
• Maintenance points where frequent access and reconfiguration are required

Key specifications

• Fiber capacity: up to 48 optical fibers
• Cable entry: mechanical ports for secure cable fixation
• Splice trays: organized trays for routing and storing spliced fibers
• Mounting: supports wall, pole or strand mounting depending on site accessories
• Environment: suitable for indoor and outdoor use with sealed enclosure
• Material: durable housing resistant to mechanical impact and weathering

How to use

Open the closure following manufacturer instructions and prepare incoming and outgoing cables by stripping outer jackets to the required length. Insert cables through the mechanical ports and secure them using the integrated clamps to prevent movement. Route fibers into the splice trays, perform splicing using appropriate fiber splicing methods, and store splices neatly within the trays to avoid bending beyond specified radii. Close the enclosure and verify seals are engaged to maintain environmental protection. Label fiber positions as needed to document network configuration.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible splice protectors and maintain minimum bend radius for all fibers. Verify mechanical port sizes match cable diameters before installation, and apply recommended torque values to clamps where specified. For outdoor deployments, ensure additional sealing or locking accessories are used if the site is subject to extreme weather or vandalism. Regular inspection and cleaning of sealing surfaces can extend service life and maintain performance.
