Extralink Tina FTTX Fiber Optic Splice Closure, 96 Core, 4 Trays, Outdoor

The Extralink Tina FTTX fiber optic splice closure is a professional-grade solution designed for the secure management and protection of fiber optic connections in outdoor environments. Constructed from high-quality, durable black polycarbonate, this enclosure is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring the integrity of your network infrastructure. It serves as a reliable housing for splicing optical fibers, providing a robust barrier against moisture, dust, and physical damage.

Advantages

This closure offers exceptional versatility and protection for telecommunications networks. Its robust polycarbonate housing ensures long-term durability even when exposed to external elements. The internal configuration includes four splice trays, allowing for the organized management of up to 96 fiber cores. The inclusion of specialized mounting brackets ensures that cables are held firmly in place, preventing accidental slippage or tension-related damage. Furthermore, the design supports various installation methods, including pole mounting or placement in cable trays, providing flexibility for diverse deployment scenarios.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications infrastructure projects
• Outdoor fiber optic network installations
• Underground cable duct systems
• Overhead fiber optic cable deployments
• Cable tray management systems

When it may not be suitable

This enclosure is specifically designed for outdoor and industrial use and may be oversized for simple indoor residential or office environments where smaller, wall-mounted distribution boxes are sufficient. It is not intended for applications requiring frequent access or rapid reconfiguration, as the sealing process involves shrink sleeves.

Key specifications

• Capacity: Up to 96 fiber cores
• Splice trays: 4 units included
• Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Color: Black
• Cable ports: 4 round ports and 1 oval port
• Installation: Pole or cable tray mounting
• Protection: Moisture and environmental resistance

How to use

To install the Extralink Tina closure, first prepare the fiber optic cables by stripping the outer jacket and cleaning the fibers. Route the cables through the designated round or oval ports. Use the provided shrink sleeves to ensure a hermetic seal at the cable entry points, which is critical for maintaining moisture protection. Secure the cables using the internal mounting brackets to prevent movement. Splice the fibers according to your network plan and organize them neatly within the four splice trays. Finally, close the housing securely to protect the internal connections from the environment.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the capacity of 96 cores meets your current and future network requirements.
• Verify that the mounting location (pole or cable tray) is compatible with the enclosure dimensions.
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools for heat-shrink sleeve application.
• Check if the port configuration matches your cable entry needs.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that all cable entry ports are properly sealed with shrink sleeves to maintain the IP rating and prevent moisture ingress. Regularly inspect the enclosure after extreme weather events to ensure the integrity of the housing and mounting hardware.
