Infinity Fiber Optic Splice Closure

Fiber optic splice closures are focal points of fiber networks due to the large quantity of cables and splices that they accommodate. Expanding a fiber network is a complex process that sometimes implies network interruptions and, consequently, unhappy customers.

The Infinity Fiber Optic Splice Closure brings innovation to make that expansion process easier and, at the same time, environmentally friendly.

1. Product Characteristics

- Big capacity closure, with expansion rings to enable closure expansion.

- Two vertical tray stacks for high fiber count splicing.

- 12 round cable ports + 1 oval port.

- Cables can be sealed using either thermal sleeves and/or mechanical glands.

- The Infinity is IP68 rated in any configuration.

3. Components

3.1 Infinity Closure Dome

The Infinity Closure can be expanded by adding expansion rings to the unique dome. This way you can use the same dome without any waste.

3.2 Internal Structure

To be able to accommodate more splice trays, the Infinity Closure is offered with 2 different internal height structures: “L” and “H”.

The different Internal Structures of the Infinity Closure has mainly to do with the type of fiber cable that the network operator uses:

• Micromodule cables will allow smaller bending radius, so you can use the “L” model and accommodate a more of fusion splices;

• Loose tube cables need more space to forward the tubes, so the “H” model is advisable.

3.3 Fusion Splice Trays

The trays are the main elements in a fiber optic splice closure, as this is where the fibers will be organized, accommodated, and connected with each other. For the Infinity Closure, the fusion splice trays are designed to be as versatile as possible.

3.4 Splitter Trays

The splitter trays are specially designed to hold optical splitters, or other optical components with modules of similar sizes. The splitter tray allows the installation of up to 4 splitter units and has the capacity to hold up to 4 fusion splices, designated to the IN fiber of the splitter.

3.5 Spare Fiber Tubes Storage

When making a mid-span procedure in a cable, the spare fiber tubes need to be stored in the Closure.

- For micromodule cables, the spare tubes can be stored in an internal tray, specially designed for that purpose. This tray can be expanded and grow together with the rest of the closure, so more cables can be added.

- For loose tube cables, as the diameter of the tubes is bigger, the spare tubes can be stored in the space between stacks, without using the internal tray.

3.6 Excess and unused fibers storage

The excess and unused fibers can be stored in this area. The excess of the fibers can be looped around the circles that accomplish the minimum bending radius for the G652.D fiber types. The unused fibers, can be stored inside the circles, making an efficient usage of the available space.

3.7 Metallic wall and pole support & Plastic wall and pole support with sliding system

The metallic pole and wall support for the Infinity Closure is designed in a way that the installer can intervene in the closure without having to remove it from where it is. Its “horse-shoe” like design allows it to keep the base of the closure fixed, enabling the removal of the dome.

The Closure can be removed, by removing the 4 clips from the base. The metallic support remains installed on the wall or on the pole.

The plastic wall and pole support for the Infinity Closure has a sliding system. The base of the support is fixed on the pole or wall. The “T” shaped support is fixed to the cap with 4 screws. The “T” shaped support, slides on the base, allowing the Closure to slide in and out when needed.
