Optotec FOCUS-CODC2-AA Outdoor Dome Closure IP68 for FTTx Networks with Max 144 Fibers and Compact Design

The Optotec FOCUS-CODC2-AA Outdoor Dome Closure is a reliable fiber optic connection solution designed specifically for demanding FTTx networks. Featuring a compact thermoplastic housing and a height of 380 mm, this outdoor dome closure provides high-capacity management for modern fiber optic installations. It is engineered to maintain structural integrity and moisture protection in harsh outdoor environments, making it suitable for both underground infrastructure and aerial pole-mounted deployments.

Built with durability in mind, the enclosure utilizes an IP68-certified thermoplastic housing in compliance with IEC 529 standards, ensuring complete water resistance. The reusable sealing system incorporates a clamp and a specialized O-ring to guarantee continuous sealing between the base and the dome, even after multiple openings during routine maintenance operations. Seven cable entry ports, consisting of one oval and six round openings, facilitate flexible cable routing for various network configurations.

Advantages

The unit offers exceptional installation flexibility through its support for up to six configurable SAMX HD splice modules, accommodating a maximum capacity of 144 fibers. Its internal stack design leaves ample space for storing looped loose tubes in mid-span applications, while the slotted core allows for efficient handling of different tube types and diameters. Furthermore, the base supports both heat-shrink and cold-applied sealing kits, adapting easily to specific technical requirements on site.

Suitable for

• FTTx network installations
• Underground fiber optic routing
• Aerial pole-mounted deployments
• Trunk, branch, and distribution connections
• Traditional cables and microcables ranging from G652 to G657

When it may not be suitable

This enclosure is designed strictly for outdoor and subterranean network applications and may not be optimized for indoor rack-mounted data center environments where dome-style closures are unnecessary. It is also unsuitable for installations requiring fiber capacities exceeding 144 fibers per closure.

Key specifications

• IP68-certified thermoplastic housing according to IEC 529
• Maximum capacity of 144 fibers with up to 6 configurable SAMX HD modules
• Compact housing height of 380 mm
• 7 cable entry ports (1 oval, 6 round)
• Reusable sealing system with clamp and O-ring
• Support for heat-shrink and cold-applied sealing sets (Base A and Base C)
• Compatibility with traditional cables and microcables (G652 to G657)
• Integrated RFID system and QR code for installation instructions

How to use

Begin by selecting the appropriate cable entry ports and routing your traditional cables or microcables through the oval or round openings. Prepare the cables for entry and utilize the base with either heat-shrink or cold-applied sealing sets to secure a watertight barrier. Organize the fiber strands within the internal stack, utilizing the SAMX HD splice modules for splicing up to 144 fibers, and store any looped loose tubes in the designated mid-span storage space. Close the dome onto the base using the clamp and O-ring system, ensuring a tight seal, and scan the integrated QR code or RFID tag if digital installation instructions are required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the maximum capacity of 144 fibers meets your current and future network scaling requirements
• Check whether your deployment environment relies on underground or aerial pole-mounted infrastructure
• Confirm compatibility with your preferred cable types, such as traditional cables or G652 to G657 microcables
• Assess whether heat-shrink or cold-applied sealing sets are preferred for your installation standards

Ensure that the sealing surfaces of the base and dome are thoroughly clean before closing the clamp system to maintain the IP68 waterproof rating during long-term outdoor operation.
