HS048-22 Inline FOSC 96-Core Fiber Optic Splice Closure IP68 2-In/2-Out | FTTx ADSS OPGW myhopshun
Product Description
Why is the Inline FOSC the best choice for straight-through fiber optic cable splicing?
In FTTx, ODN, ADSS, and OPGW networks, backbone cables often require straight-through splicing rather than branching. Compared to dome-style closures, inline (horizontal) closures feature a lateral sealing structure, making them easier for technicians to handle in confined spaces (such as inside HDPE conduits or on narrow utility poles).
Made from ABS/PP materials, the unit is resistant to acid, alkali, and salt corrosion as well as aging, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. Weighing only 2.4 kg, it is the lightest closure available—allowing for single-person installation without the need for lifting equipment. Booklet-style splice trays allow each tray to be flipped open independently, maintaining a fiber bend radius of ≥40mm to ensure low signal loss.
Inline Horizontal Structure: An elongated black housing with a metal clamp locking mechanism at the top, ensuring an IP68 seal.
2-In/2-Out Ports: The bottom features two main cable entry ports and two exit ports, all equipped with rubber sealing plugs.
Booklet-Style Splice Trays: Black splice trays that flip open like the pages of a book; each tray holds 24 fibers, with a maximum of 4 trays providing a total capacity of 96 fibers.
Metal Clamp & Silicone Seal: An external metal clamp locks the upper and lower covers together, working with a silicone gasket to achieve IP68 protection.
Rubber Cable Port Seals: Cable entry ports utilize rubber seals, accommodating cable diameters ranging from 8mm to 17.5mm.
Re-openable Design: The unit can be reopened after installation, facilitating future capacity expansion and maintenance.
Fiber Bend Radius ≥40mm: Ensures low signal loss. Environmental and Performance Specifications

Faq
Q1: What is the HS048-22 used for?
A: It is a 96-core Inline FOSC (Fiber Optic Splice Closure) used for optical fiber connection and protection in FTTx, ODN, ADSS, and OPGW networks. Suitable for overhead, HDPE duct, and direct-buried installations.
Q2: Is it an Inline or Dome closure?
A: It is an Inline (horizontal) closure, which uses side sealing and is more suitable for straight-through splicing and narrow space installation.
Q3: What is the protection level?
A: IP68 — the highest protection rating, suitable for long-term water immersion in manholes, HDPE duct banks, and underground environments.
Q4: What is the maximum capacity?
A: 96 cores, with 24 fibers per tray and up to 4 trays.
Q5: What is the port configuration?
A: 2 input ports and 2 output ports. Cable diameter 8–17.5mm.
Q6: What material is the enclosure made of?
A: ABS/PP (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene / Polypropylene), offering acid-alkali-salt resistance, anti-aging, and reliable mechanical structure.
Q7: How is it sealed?
A: Double sealing system — shells are sealed with silicone rubber and locked with metal hoops; inlet/outlet ports use rubber seals.
Q8: What is the fiber bend radius?
A: ≥40 mm, ensuring low signal loss.
Q9: Can it be reopened after installation?
A: Yes, the product can be opened again and reused after installation, making it convenient for future expansion.
Q10: What is the box size and weight?
A: Box size 480×155×110mm; weight about 2.4kg.
Q11: What is the working temperature range?
A: -40℃ to +80℃.
Q12: Is it compatible with ADSS and OPGW cables?
A: Yes, the 8–17.5mm cable ports are compatible with ADSS, OPGW, and other standard FTTx cables.
Q13: What is the packing information?
A: 6 sets per carton; carton size 52.5×36.5×37cm; gross weight 15.5kg per carton.
