  • Optical cable splice sealing operation

    Optical cable splice sealing operation

    The most common fiber splice closure sealing methods include heat-shrink, mechanical, and gel-based sealing. Gel seals utilize a soft gel material that adheres tightly to the cable. In modern FTTx and PON networks, fiber optic splice closures are the enclosures that protect fiber splice points from moisture, dust, and physical stress. However, the sealing method used inside these closures largely determines the long-term reliability of the fiber connection. The fibers are then aligned and fused together using a fusion splicer.
