The fiber termination box usually consists of two parts: the main body and the splice tray. The main body provides a protective housing for the fibers and can be mounted on a wall or pole. The splice tray holds and protects the fiber splices, which are typically created by fusing two fiber optic cables together.
Application
Fiber terminal boxes are used in various applications, such as in homes, offices, data centers, and telecom networks. They play a crucial role in ensuring that fiber-optic communication networks operate efficiently and reliably.Different types
Optical fiber terminal boxes can be of many different types:
(1)According to the cable connection
Straight type and branch type. Straight-typeonly has a single external hole, Branched-type has several holes.
(2)According to the number of the port
The terminal box can be divided into 2 port, 4 port, 8port,16 port, 24 port etc.

(5)According to application
Indoor type and outdoor type.
Function
Optical fiber termination box as a cable line terminal equipment has the following four basic functions:(1) Fixed function.
When the cable into the terminal box, it is mechanically fixed, add ground wire protection parts, end protection processing, and the optical fiber grouping and protection.
(2)Welding function.
After the optical fibers drawn from the cable are fused with the stern cable, the excess optical fibers are coiled and stored, and the fused connectors are protected.
(3)Deployment function.
Adapters and connectors should be able to plug and pull flexibly; The optical path can be freely deployed and tested.
(4) Storage function.
The fiber terminal box has the appropriate space to store the various optical connections so that they can be placed neatly and meet the minimum bending radius requirements.
With the development of optical fiber network, the existing functions of optical fiber terminal box can not meet many new requirements. Some manufacturers will some optical fiber network components such as splitter, wavelength division multiplexer and optical switch directly add to the optical fiber terminal box.
Maintenance
Maintaining a fiber optic terminal box is crucial for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of your network infrastructure. Here are some tips to help you maintain your fiber optic terminal box:(1)Keep the fiber terminal box clean:
Regularly clean the fiber optic terminal box with a dry, lint-free cloth to prevent dust and debris from accumulating inside. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents that could damage the components.(2)Protect the fiber optic cables:
Handle the fiber optic cables with care and ensure they are not bent or damaged during installation or maintenance. Use cable ties to keep the cables organized and prevent tangling.(3)Check the connectors:
Inspect the connectors regularly to ensure they are clean and free from debris. If necessary, use a fiber optic cleaning kit to clean the connectors.(4)Monitor the environmental conditions:
Fiber optic cables and terminal boxes are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Make sure the fiber terminal box is kept in a dry, cool, and dust-free environment.(5)Regularly test the network:
To ensure the fiber optic terminal box is functioning properly, regularly test the network for signal strength and quality. Use a fiber optic testing kit to check for any issues or disruptions in the network.By following these tips, you can help ensure the longevity and reliability of your fiber optic terminal box and the network infrastructure it supports.
Installation
Installing a fiber optic terminal box requires careful attention to detail and proper handling of the delicate components. Here are some general steps to follow:(1)Choose the appropriate location:
Select a location for the fiber optic terminal box that is easily accessible and away from potential hazards or sources of interference.
(2)Prepare the cables:
Strip the protective coating from the ends of the fiber optic cables and ensure they are clean and free from debris.(3)Install the fiber optic connectors:
Connect the fiber optic connectors to the ends of the cables using the appropriate tools and techniques. Be careful not to bend or damage the fibers.(4)Mount the terminal box:
Attach the fiber optic terminal box to the wall or surface using the appropriate mounting hardware.(5)Secure the cables:
Route the fiber optic cables through the appropriate ports on the terminal box and secure them using cable ties or other appropriate methods.(6)Connect the cables:
Connect the fiber optic connectors to the appropriate ports on the terminal box and ensure they are firmly seated and properly aligned.(7)Test the network:
Once the terminal box is installed and the cables are connected, test the network to ensure it is functioning properly. Use a fiber optic testing kit to check for signal strength, quality, and any potential issues.
It's important to note that the specific steps required for installing a fiber optic terminal box may vary depending on the type of box and the specific requirements of the network. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for proper installation and handling of the components.
