HS096-20 FOSC FDB ODB FAT 96-Core Fiber Optic Splice Closure IP68 4-In/16-Out |myhopshun
Product Description
Why are “IP68 rating, 96-core capacity, and screw-free sealing” the best choice for outdoor backbone networks?
In FTTx backbone networks, fiber optic splice closures often face extreme conditions—such as heavy rain, flooding, accumulated water in conduits, and dampness in underground utility tunnels. An IP68 rating represents the highest level of protection, signifying the ability to withstand prolonged submersion without water ingress (typically tested at a depth of 1.5 meters for over 30 minutes).
The PP+GF (glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene) material is more robust and corrosion-resistant than PC+ABS, making it particularly suitable for environments prone to long-term moisture, such as direct burial, manholes, and underground utility tunnels. A 96-core capacity is ideal for high-capacity backbone nodes, allowing a single closure to handle the backbone splicing requirements for an entire residential complex or industrial park.
The screw-free sealing design allows operations and maintenance personnel to open and close the unit without a screwdriver. Featuring hinged, flip-style splice trays and a flip-top lid, the unit can be operated with one hand, significantly boosting maintenance efficiency.
Design highlights revealed in actual photos
IP68 screw-free sealing: Black PP+GF housing with no exposed screws; the sealing mechanism is concealed internally, allowing for tool-free opening and closing.
Hinged flip-style splice trays: Multiple white, circular splice trays are connected via hinges, allowing each layer to be flipped open independently for access. Dedicated routing paths are provided for backbone cables, pigtails, and patch cords.
Stainless steel mounting bracket: A stainless steel bracket on the rear allows for secure mounting onto utility poles, walls, or metal structures using four mounting holes.
4-in/16-out port configuration: The bottom features four main cable entry ports and sixteen branch cable exit ports, with each port independently sealed.
SC adapter / PLC splitter installation: Supports the installation of snap-in SC adapters or PLC splitters.
Maximum 96 SC adapters: A single closure can accommodate up to 96 SC adapters. Environmental and Performance Specifications

Faq
Q1: What is the HS096-20 used for?
A: It is a 96-core fiber optic splice closure (also known as FOSC, FDB, ODB, or FAT) used as a termination and splicing point for feeder and drop cables in FTTx communication networks.
Q2: Is it an FOSC, FDB, ODB, or FAT?
A: It is primarily an FOSC (Fiber Optic Splice Closure), but it can also be classified as FDB (Fiber Distribution Box), ODB (Optical Distribution Box), or FAT (Fiber Access Terminal) depending on the deployment scenario.
Q3: What is the protection level?
A: IP68 — the highest protection rating, meaning it can withstand long-term water immersion (typically 1.5m depth for over 30 minutes), making it ideal for underground manholes, duct banks, and flooded environments.
Q4: What is the maximum capacity?
A: Up to 96 cores, with support for 96 SC adapters or PLC splitters.
Q5: What material is the enclosure made of?
A: PP+GF (Glass-Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene), which is more robust and corrosion-resistant than standard PC+ABS.
Q6: What is the port configuration?
A: 4 input ports and 16 output ports.
Q7: Does it require screws for sealing?
A: No. It features a screwless sealing design, allowing for tool-free opening and closing.
Q8: What is the box size and weight?
A: Box size 380×245×130mm; weight 4.19kg.
Q9: Does it come with a mounting bracket?
A: Yes, it includes a stainless steel mounting bracket for pole or wall installation.
Q10: What adapter types are supported?
A: Cassette type SC adapters or PLC splitters (up to 96 SC adapters).
Q11: What is the packing information?
A: 4 pcs per carton; carton size 52×42×33cm; gross weight 18kg; volume 0.0721m³.
Q12: Is it suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. With IP68 protection, it is suitable for underground, manhole, pole-mounted, and even submerged environments.
