Description

Application

The LINX WTC Splice case product range is designed for enclosing buried, underground, and overhead cable splices.

The main functions are:

  • To protect splices and bare fibers from the environment and unwanted handlers
  • To efficiently and easily store, manage and identify FO splices and fibers.

Product usage
Sealing system
  • Fully mechanical sealing system for reduced installation and re-entry time.
    The top shell, sealed with a gasket, can be easily installed and removed without special tools or torque control.
  • Cable sealing devices based on a mechanical
    compression system: this allows to re-use all
    components for future upgrades or re-access to the closure. (No tape, glue, heat-shrink tubes, or cable jacket preparation is needed).
    The mechanical sealing system perfectly fits Cables blowing technology.
Grounding 

Standard grounding assures electrical continuity between all cable ports (an external grounding plug is also available).

  Splice management

Four plastic splice trays allows to store and identify up to 48 Heat-Shrink splices. Plastic combs for buffer tubes and pig-tails retention are moulded in each tray.

Cabling configuration
 

1 Standard port per side, each allowing up to 12 cables.

Cable anchoring

WTC05 is compatible with the Nexans cable clamp
range.
3 points cable clamps for extremely high cable retention, or simplified 1 point anchoring systems for cables and tubes are available.

(All available for aerial, buried, duct, or wall mounted applications)
