❓1. What is a dome type fiber optic splice closure?

✅ Answer:
A dome type fiber optic splice closure is a protective housing designed to hold and protect fiber optic splices in outdoor or underground environments. It features a cylindrical "dome" shape, offering excellent sealing and pressure resistance, making it ideal for harsh conditions.

❓2. What are the advantages of dome type splice closures?

✅ Answer:
Dome type closures are known for their strong waterproofing, large capacity for splice trays, and high durability. They offer easy maintenance and can be reused after re-entry. The dome structure provides uniform stress resistance, making it suitable for aerial, pole, and buried applications.

❓3. How many cables can be connected in a dome splice closure?

✅ Answer:
Most dome splice closures support 4 to 16 cable entry ports and can manage anywhere from 24 to over 144 fiber cores, depending on the model and tray configuration. High-capacity models are available for backbone fiber networks.

❓4. What is the difference between dome type and horizontal type splice closures?

✅ Answer:
The key difference is in the shape and application. Dome type closures are vertical and ideal for underground or pole installations with better pressure resistance, while horizontal types are flat and often used for aerial or wall-mounted setups. Dome closures usually provide better water and air sealing.

❓5. Are dome fiber splice closures reusable?

✅ Answer:
Yes, dome splice closures are designed to be reusable. Technicians can open them for maintenance or upgrades and then reseal them without affecting performance. Most models use rubber gaskets and mechanical sealing systems to maintain waterproof integrity after re-entry.
