The OPGW connector box is a sealing protection device that provides optical and mechanical strength connection between the OPGW (optical fiber composite overhead ground line) ends, between the OPGW and the non-OPGW ends. OPGW joint box has the following characteristics and uses:

Structural features

The optical fiber joint and the remaining length adopt a stacked fiber storage, and the joint protection form is reinforced by heat shrink sleeve. The joint box adopts a sealing ring and sealing structure, which is simple to operate and can be opened repeatedly, making it easy to use and repair. The optical cable connector box can be grounded as required and equipped with a fixed mount for tower or rod ‌.

Main uses

Mainly used for the connection protection of OPGW optical cable connectors, connecting the pole tower connection, and providing protection for optical cable connection. In addition, OPGW connector boxes have different models and specifications, such as 500mm in total length, 200mm in outer diameter.

The OPGW connector box is a connection protection device for OPGW optical cable connectors. The structure of the OPGW joint box mainly includes the following parts:

‌Case

Usually made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy, with high strength and corrosion resistance, and can protect the internal optical fiber joint from the external environment. The shell is designed with a cable inlet aperture, which is used for the access of optical cables, and has sealing properties to prevent moisture, dust, etc. from entering the interior of the joint box‌12.

‌Sealing Assembly‌

The connector box adopts a repeatable open sealing assembly to ensure good air-tight waterproofing. The sealing components are usually composed of sealing materials such as silicone sealing rings, which can effectively prevent moisture and moisture from invading, and ensure the stability and reliability of optical fiber joints‌13. ‌
