Outdoor splice closure Lightwin FOCUS-CODC2-AB for up to 288 fibers, IP68 rated

Outdoor splice closure Lightwin FOCUS-CODC2-AB is designed for splicing and protecting optical fiber joints in external network installations. The enclosure accommodates up to 288 fibers and provides an IP68 rating for ingress protection, ensuring reliable performance in aerial, duct and underground deployments. The closure features organized cable entry, secure fiber management trays and a sealed housing that resists dust, water and other environmental factors common in telecom and data network infrastructures.

Advantages

The closure offers high fiber capacity and robust environmental protection without compromising accessibility for maintenance. Its modular internal layout allows orderly routing and splicing of multiple fibers while minimizing bend stress. The IP68-rated enclosure provides long-term resistance to water immersion and dust ingress, and the mechanical sealing system ensures consistent protection across different installation types. Materials and construction are selected for outdoor durability and UV resistance.

Suitable for

• Aerial fiber optic cable junctions on poles and messenger systems
• Duct and conduit installations in urban and suburban networks
• Underground and direct-buried cable splicing points
• Telecom distribution points in central offices, street cabinets and remote nodes

Key specifications

• Maximum fiber capacity: up to 288 fibers
• Ingress protection: IP68 (dust-tight and protected against long-term immersion)
• Suitable installation environments: aerial, duct, underground
• Internal fiber management: splice trays for organized routing and protection
• Cable entry: multiple sealed ports for varied cable diameters and configurations
• Material properties: outdoor-grade, UV-resistant housing materials

How to use

Prepare the incoming and outgoing fiber cables by stripping the outer sheath and organizing individual fibers. Open the closure housing according to the manufacturer's procedure and install the required cable seals and adapters into the cable entry ports. Route fibers into the internal splice trays, perform fiber splices using fusion or mechanical splicing methods, and secure splice protectors in the trays. Ensure fibers are routed with proper bend radius and fastened to internal guides. Close the housing and engage the sealing mechanism to restore the IP68 protection; verify seals and fasteners are properly tightened and perform optical tests to confirm continuity and loss levels.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, install the closure on stable supports and avoid locations with excessive mechanical strain or repeated impact. Use compatible sealing grommets and cable adaptors for correct cable diameters, and follow standard fiber handling practices to prevent microbending and contamination. Periodically inspect seals and fastenings after extreme weather events and perform optical checks when adding or rerouting fibers.
