Heat shrink closure relies on heat shrink tubing to create a tight seal around the cable; Mechanical seals are achieved using gaskets, O-rings, or snap-fit mechanisms; Gel seals utilize a soft gel material that adheres tightly to the cable surface. 1 Sealing of the fiber optic splice closure (1) Clean the sealing groove around the joint box with alcohol cotton/wipes. The sealing strip should be tightly attached to the groove. First, it protects against environmental hazards such as moisture, dust, and debris that can damage delicate fiber optic cables. Effective sealing ensures the longevity and reliability of the network. This model has four small circular cable entry ports plus one big circular port for express (looped) cable. The cables and the closure are sealed in a mechanical way with the help of compacting pressure from the plastic. Some are designed for concatenation of long distance cables where two identical cables are spliced together. Closures for FTTH preterminated cables (plug &.
