Surface-mount distribution box Rutenbeck APL 12×LC-D OS2 APC, light grey RAL 7035

Surface-mount distribution box Rutenbeck APL 12×LC-D OS2 APC in light grey RAL 7035 is a compact indoor enclosure designed for organized termination and management of singlemode fiber networks. The box accommodates up to 12 LC duplex ports with APC polish, provides protected routing for incoming and outgoing fibers, and includes space for splices and pigtails. Its surface-mount format and neutral light grey finish make it suitable for visible installations in apartments, small offices and network cupboards where tidy fiber distribution and easy access for maintenance are required.

Advantages

The enclosure offers a secure, dust-protected environment for fiber terminations and splices while maintaining a compact footprint. Integrated cable entry points and internal routing features simplify installation and reduce the risk of microbends. Compatibility with LC-D APC connectors and singlemode OS2 fiber ensures low insertion loss and reliable optical performance. The surface-mount design eliminates the need for recessed mounting and speeds up deployment in retrofit or new-build indoor environments.

• Apartment building fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) termination and distribution
• Small office and business premises fiber patching
• Network closets and telecommunications cupboards
• Fiber backbone branching and consolidation points

How to use

Mount the distribution box on a suitable interior wall or cabinet using appropriate screws and wall anchors, ensuring the selected location allows for cable entry and convenient access. Feed incoming and outgoing fibers through the provided cable entry points, secure and route fibers along the internal guides to avoid sharp bends, and perform splicing or install factory-terminated pigtails as required. Terminate patch cords into the LC-D APC ports and close the enclosure to protect connections. Label ports as needed for straightforward maintenance and troubleshooting.

Usage recommendations

Use singlemode OS2 fibers and LC-D APC connectors for best optical performance. Maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for singlemode fibers when routing inside the box and secure splices with appropriate splice protectors. Place the box in a clean, dry indoor location away from direct sunlight and sources of mechanical stress. For installations in multi-dwelling units or commercial spaces, plan cable entry and labeling to simplify future upgrades and service work.
