Can fiber optic splice boxes be directly buried

Home / Can fiber optic splice boxes be directly buried

The structural design of the splice box is not suitable for direct-buried optical cables. Whether your fiber to the home (FTTH) network design has closures in a buried or aerial environment, one thing remains the same: you need assured environmental protection and quick, incremental subscriber drops. In addition, the branch ports can be fitted with multi-cable grommets to splice in drops and can be used as a drop closure.
