What is a Drawer Type Fiber Optic Termination Box?
The drawer type fiber optic termination box, the official standard Chinese designation (also commonly referred to as pull-out fiber distribution frame or fiber fusion splice box), is a high-density fiber management device installed in standard cabinets. It is mainly applied for fiber fusion splicing, circuit distribution, cable storage and protection.
This device adopts a 19-inch standard rack-mounted design. The enclosure is made of cold-rolled steel plate with electrostatic powder spraying surface treatment. Featuring a drawer-type structure equipped with smooth slide rails, the whole unit can be fully pulled out of the cabinet. Operators can work on internal fibers directly without operating inside the narrow cabinet, which greatly improves the efficiency of fiber splicing, jumper wiring and subsequent operation, maintenance and inspection. It is primarily used to protect the fusion splice points between optical cables and pigtails, realize the distribution and scheduling of optical fiber links, and standardize the storage of redundant cables.
Drawer Type Fiber Optic Termination Box Structure and Components
Standard Rack Size: Compatible with 19-inch standard equipment cabinets, with common heights of 1U and 2U.
Pull-out Drawer: The main body is fitted with smooth slide rails for overall extraction from the rack.
Fusion Splice Tray: Fixes and protects the fiber fusion points between incoming optical cables and pigtails.
Adapter Panel: The front panel is integrated with various fiber optic adapters such as SC, LC, FC and ST for connecting fiber patch cords.
Cable Management Structure: Built-in winding rings and wiring grooves to neatly store excess fiber slack.
Housing: Integrally formed from cold-rolled steel plate with a powder-coated surface, featuring sturdiness, durability and electromagnetic shielding performance.
Main Functions
Cable Fixation: Fastens incoming optical cables and completes grounding treatment.
Fiber Fusion Splicing: Enables fusion splicing of optical fibers and pigtails, and provides sealed protection for splice points.
Slack Storage: Coils and stores redundant optical fibers to prevent damage caused by bending and stress.
Circuit Distribution: Provides modular interfaces to connect network equipment via patch cords and complete optical path distribution.
Safety Protection: Isolates dust and moisture, prevents external impact, and protects optical fibers and fusion splice parts.
Drawer Type Fiber Optic Termination Box Advantages
Convenient Maintenance: The drawer can be fully pulled out for unobstructed splicing, testing and troubleshooting, without interfering with other equipment in the cabinet.
High-density Wiring: Compact in size, it realizes centralized management of large-core-count fibers such as 24-core, 48-core and 96-core within limited cabinet space.
Wide Compatibility: Compatible with mainstream fiber connector specifications including SC, LC, FC and ST.
Neat Cabling: Integrated wiring design with standardized cable zoning to avoid wire tangling and disorder.
