Object
The object of this Specification is to prescribe preferredratings and characteristics for pressurized aerial, buried orunderground fiber optic splice closures; select from EIA-5150i300,”Generic Specification for Optical Fiber and Cable Splices,” theappropriate quality assessment procedures, tests, and measuringmethods; and to give general performance requirements for this typesplice closure. This Sectional Specification must be used inconjunction with a fiber splice sectional to specify a completeoptical cable splice. The Specification addresses thoserequirements necessary to provide external protection for anoptical fiber splice, but does not cover the properties of afiber-to-fiber splice.
Closure Types
This Sectional Specification identifies the characteristics ofpressure-tight fiber optic cable splice closures designed for usewith fiber optic cables in underground, buried, and aerialtelecommunications applications. Moisture access into the cableclosure will generally be excluded by means of a positive gaspressure system, normally not exceeding 70 kilopascals (10 poundsper square inch).
Closure Classifications
Splice closures are classified according to the configuration inwhich cables may enter the ends of the closure as follows:
Straight Splice Closure: Closures that provide openings for onlyone cable to enter each end of the closure.
Branch Splice Closures: Closures that provide openings for twoor more cables to enter one or both ends of the closure.
Butt Splice Closures: Closures that provide openings such thattwo or more cables enter one end of the closure and no cable entersthe other end of the closure.
